I still have my original Xbox, but unless backward compatability is a problem I'd just pick Fable and Psychonauts up off of Ebay or something. Psychonauts is a great game and is definitely still worth playing though.

I'm running "Dreadful Dawn" right now. The premise is a bit like Diehard in a Tavern. It's fairly unremarkable so far, but I wasn't really expecting anything earth shattering.

This is related to the "Leave at least one survivor" rule. Not a very popular rule.

Could you (or anyone else in this thread) recommend a good starting place for the Warhammer books? Any particular book or series to start with? If it matters, I have close to zero knowledge of Warhammer.

You need to use more blood.

Who better to do some squatting than a heavily armed group of lunatics? :D

I don't think enough people would even notice, let alone care, to make a difference. Anything done with demons, devils, etc. would be overshadowed by the media coverage of things like Grand Theft Auto or Manhunt 2. Manhunt 2 was banned in the UK and chopped up (no pun intended, ok a little...

I was going to pick this one too, but I'm actually a little skeptical about how far away from Vance's idea of magic the new system will be. If it's sufficiently uh... un-Vancian , I'll be a happy guy. This would be a HUGE change in philosophy for D&D. I suppose I'm not expecting that big of a...

Favorite: talent trees, streamlined grapple rules, goodbye Gnome - nobody I know ever played you on purpose, action points Not So Favorite: warlord (the class itself and the name), still not sold on per encounter abilities for every class, underwhelmed by Gleemax/Insider

So, more like... "We should donate half of the orphans to Orcus." "Half of each orphan?" "Sure, but which half?" "We'll alternate." "Splendid idea."

It's not? For the record, I'm pretty sure just as many "bad guys" were killed off as heroic characters throughout the books so far. I think the prose is good, but not great. I'd still highly recommend it to any of my friends with the caveat that if they are looking for high fantasy, these...

I really, really, really want Season 3 released on DVD before Season 4 hits but I don't think that's happening. I've seen Seasons 1, 2 and about a third of season 3. No word on Season 3 with all the other stuff going on?

Yeah. Rock and roll! I'd be doing a wicked air guitar riff right now if people weren't watching me. I'm not at all concerned with the new game elements, but I don't need to really care what anyone else thinks about the game. Nobody to explain it to except my wife who just points and laughs...

As much as I like the Malazan books, I would skip them if you don't really enjoy reading George R R Martin. Compared to Martin, the Malazan books are even more, well just more. What about "The Lies of Locke Lamora"? There's an excerpt on the author's site. http://www.scottlynch.us/books.html

Not to be snarky, but Wizards has struggled with QC on their own products a few times. It would probably be a lot better for us as consumers if they focused any extra resources on getting things fixed with their releases and having errata come out quicker.

A lot of really good publishers don't have the money to spare and are often lucky to break even. At the beginning of D20, there were a few publishers that had a lot of money to spend but cranked out glossy, high production value crap. They're not around any more but a lot of publishers from...

I'm not entirely sure if we're talking about Sword & Sorcery (Howard, Smith, Moorcock, Wanger) or just fantasy in general. Authors like Howard who wrote for magazines primarily aren't going to have 300 pages to devote to character development like Martin does. I'm curious how the OP felt let...

Hi Gareth. I've been meaning to check those out for a while now. You've certainly done a good job with Adamant. I'll be a little less poor this Friday; should make for interesting Friday night reading.

Smaller companies that aren't Goodman, Paizo, Green Ronin, etc. probably don't have the resources for that but a brand created by several D20 companies could do it. If only the paranoid, egotistical cats could stop wandering off to chase a particularly tasty looking squirrel. Maybe the gravity...

That's not particularly, uh, catchy.
