i'm well aware of who takeshi kaneshiro is, but the first thing i saw when he showed up in this film was, damn, they cloned bloom =) Heck, even his archery scenes are eerily LotR. My girlfriend is a huge fan of his, and as such i have had to sit through such movie gems as "The Returner" -_-;;

holy crap! I've been waiting for this announcement since people started putting shows on DVD. It's a great day to be alive =)

-If the die falls off the table, you have to reroll it. same with die that land on uneven surfaces. hmm. thinking about it now, it seems that that's the only real rule we consistantly enforce. everything else is just kinda there, or dealt with on the fly. actually, i don't think there IS...

Yeah, i saw it a few weeks ago. Great story, very game like. Aside from the fact that they had an Asian Orlando Bloom as the lead actor, the movie was very very good, right up till the last 45 min. Beyond that though, it was a gorgeous film, and well worth taking in at the theatre.

the super easy answer? I play Dragonlance. Your crunch does nothing for me. The easy answer? Too much crunch, not enough fluff. The expanded answer? My favorite part of Dragon was the ecology articles and the bazaar of the bizzare type things. Stats and stuff are boring- the real joy of...

Escapism is one reason. But lately, i've noticed that i tend to play clerics and divine casters pretty much exclusively. It occurs to me that I play D&D to work out my thoughts towards religion and theology (i'm a hindu, it's not that far of a leap). At one point in my life, i played D&D to...

for my money, i'm a big fan of folks like Neurotic Fish and Apoptygma Berzerk. I need more darkwave and synthpop in my life =)

god, the portrayal of india pissed me off. When Alexander got there, he didnt run into painted tribals. Three of the most populated and urban cities in India were up in that area (Taxila, etc). His army was soundly stomped by the rising forces of Chandragupta Maurya and his amazing tactical...

Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, quickly followed by all of his other books, when i was 8 or so. And if they're not modern fantasy, i don't know what is =)

this is easily the worst movie i've seen since the third matrix came out. the only things saving it were Jolie's performance, and the greek letters they used to spell out actor names. the story glossed over pretty much everything that made alexander great, and stuck to a really dull...

the Young Reader Dragonlance books are really a lot of fun to read. Plenty of adventure with a group of kids and a pretty gripping story, all things considered. Also, the Knights of the Silver Dragon Series (put out by wotc) is aimed at 7-9 year olds, (written by Matt Forbeck, of all...

You think its hard converting GH adventures for the realms? Try converting ANY dungeon adventure for dragonlance! It's just not possible! If it doesnt refer to orcs, it refers to drow, or to halflings, or to other untranslatable issues that don't exist on krynn. At least you can use GH...

Unsurprisingly, i've met virtually everyone ever associated with Dragonlance, with the exception of Zeb Cook, whom i'd love to meet someday. I also have a sketch book that i've had artists draw their vision of Raistlin in. Starting with Elmore, and going through folks like Lockwood, Easley...

the real question is how many of us haven't? =)

i'm not trying to be smarmy about it, sorry. its just that i've done a report on this before, and the general net doesnt have what you need. What you need is access to the online archives of The Economist and other more research oriented journals, and you can't get that without being at a...

ever try the library? i hear they can help with stuff like this. something about having a lot of research books around..

to go back a handful of posts, 'then' and 'than' are pronounced identically in the californian dialect, and i've had troubles remembering which is which since i learned how to spell.

you're seeing smoke where there is no fire. SP consists of four people- Margaret, Jamie Chambers, Renae Chambers, and Sean Everett. Those four are also the people in Margaret's new company. Cam is a freelancer who does a ton of DL work. Now, you may have noticed that Gloriana was announced...

hey, the mystic is an awesome class =)

the thing that always bugged me about the healer was their severed limb restoration power. How often do you lose limbs in D&D? the game doesnt even have rules to cover such a scenario.
