    Very, very sad university news

    Mine as well. Can't even think of anything else to say right now.

    XBox 360 Elite

    Using a savings interest rate from a bank for the discount rate? Ouch. I'd go with a 10% mutual fund.

    Greco-Roman D&D

    Sounds interesting to me. I don't have any ideas off hand but if I think of anything I'll be sure to post them.

    Recruiting Poll FINAL ROUND! Musketeers, Pirates, or Lost Library?

    Musketeers all the way. Both the others are cool though, the Musketeers are just cooler than the other two put together. Almost as cool as ninjas riding robot dinosaurs.

    I for one welcome our new streamlined overlords. This is a d20 game I actually want to play.

    Does D&D require healing magic? And is that a good thing?

    Even though I may not always like the DnD mechanics and assumptions, you can easily RP in it as you can in any other table top RPG. I'm still confused what all this throwing healing spells around in Lord of the Rings is about.

    Star Wars Books?

    Zahn's stuff is, as everyone else has said, pretty much amazing. In addition the X-Wing novels are a whole lot of fun. Everything else is pretty much hit or miss, and probably more miss than hit.

    Grindhouse

    I've already heard some rumours that they will in fact be making Machete at the least. I just need to keep my fingers crossed for the other movies now.

    Serenity takes Star War's crown!

    Yeah, I don't see it lasting. I've now seen Serenity three times and each time I come away less impressed with the film. Episode IV however, actually the whole original trilogy, I've seen dozens of times each and they all still leave me feeling excited. Same with Blade Runner actually.

    Star Wars SECR's New Damage System.

    Yes, but it wasn't DnD's "fine, fine, fine, fine DEAD!" type hit points either. And they didn't really really get raised a whole lot as you gained experience either.

    Stardust

    I'm really pumped about it. Loved the novel.

    Star Wars SECR's New Damage System.

    I like it, though really I'd prefer they did away with hit points and did just the damage track. But then the first RPGs I ever played were d6 Star Wars and Mechwarrior. All this hit point stuff makes my head hurt.

    RIP: Good Music Albums

    There used to be very few albums that I could listen to all the way through. Lately however, this has expanded a lot. Here are some: Murder by Death: In Bocca Al Lupa and Who Will Survive and What Will Become of Them? Starflyer 59: My Island and Portuguese Blues Joy Electric: Hello Mannequin...

    Mutants & Masterminds 2E - Attack/Defense Trade-offs

    It's called attack/defense trade-off because you are either trading off your attack abilities, or your defense abilities.

    Two Hobbit Films???

    But, but, I love the songs.

    Light-Hearted Science Fiction

    Yeah, I actually have. Thanks everyone for the replies. Sorry if my original post was kind of vague. That's what I get for posting at like 5 am as soon as an idea pops into my head. But I couldn't sleep and wanted to read something fun and "sci-fi"ish but all I have is like Dune, 40k books, and...

    Light-Hearted Science Fiction

    Can anyone recommend some light-hearted science fiction. Not necessarily humorous, but just something fun, in the vein of like a faery tale, but with robots or space ships or something? I'm looking for novels mostly.

    Players wanted! (You pick the campaign!)

    Sad to hear about the MnM game. If you need alternates for the d20 Modern game, count me in.

    300. Just got back from Midnight opening...

    Yeah, when the flying robot things attacked Zion and they killed them off with the little 'mecha things. Everyone started clapping.
