    A Dance of Dragons UK/US covers

    Yeah what is up with that? I would figure that a series as successful as this could spring for a decent cover artist (Lockwood anyone?). Or do they figure this book would sell with a dead fish for a cover, so they're allocating resources to the books that need them? :\

    News about "Wizard´s First Rule" by Sam Rami

    A TV series actually. I've never read them, so I can't comment. Interesting that these books are the only thing the guy has ever written, and he apparently wasn't a writer until he sat down to write them. As an aspiring writer, I'm not sure if I find that encouraging or depressing.

    Last Potter Picture to be adapted into two

    That sums it up nicely for me as well.

    Last Potter Picture to be adapted into two

    I've never read word one of a Harry Potter book and I've enjoyed all of the movies a lot. I've never had any trouble following what's going on in them.

    Gygax doesn't matter?

    I did. For any that are interested, here's what I wrote: Chris Your comment is awaiting moderation. I’m going to try to avoid rambling here, as I’ve got a lot of thoughts on your original post rattling around in my brain. I’ll try to keep it coherent (no guarantees). First off, I’d have to...

    Our (as in ENWorld's) tribute to Gary

    Thanks very much for doing this, it was an amazing gesture. I got all choked up again reading the banner. Good work.

    Saturday Morning Spiderman

    I got caught by that too, but luckily I was up and about at the time and it was on two different channels here at different times. The second Ep featured the origin of -- and subsequent battle against -- Electro, plus some more development of the Dr. Connors/Lizard plotline foreshadowing.

    Saturday Morning Spiderman

    I watched it this morning. I thought it was pretty good; a bit better than The Batman and much better than Legion of Super Heroes IMO. The animation is very smooth and exciting, the backgrounds are nicely detailed (not too many generic skyscrapers and strangely deserted streets), the character...

    WotC cancel publication of Dragonlance: Dragons of an Hourglass Mage

    Not to derail the thread, but was that the one where Sturm was traveling with a giant spider? One that was some polymorphed elf dude or something?

    Grumpy Blows His Trumpet

    Congrats man! And you're right, it is very gross!

    Iron Man

    Perhaps not. They changed Ming the Merciless for the newest series, no? Still, I'm not sure if that is really a problem. I can live without insulting, archaic stereotypes. They should have no problem making the Mandarin Asian, as long as he isn't another Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's...

    Gary Gygax has passed. RIP beloved father of RPG's. (merged)

    Goodnight Sir. Though we never met, even in passing, you have changed my life. Thank you, and Rest In Peace.

    Free Ebooks from Tor

    I think that happened to me too. I got Mistborn and Old Man's War.

    "Discovering" fantasy fiction: Dragonlance

    I don't mean to crap on anyone's taste in books, but I'd suggest checking this out from the library, or buying the first book second hand if possible. I'm a huge fan of Willow, and I generally enjoy Claremont, so I thought I'd give this series a try a few years ago. I found the first book...

    Batman - Gotham Knight

    Ah, ok. Makes sense then.

    Batman - Gotham Knight

    Looks pretty good to me. I agree with what Bruce Timm said about anime having amazing art direction. I'm pretty anxious to see what they do with Gotham. I am disappointed that they didn't include the Joker as one of the villains (although I do like their choices otherwise). It just seems to me...

    MtG Movie?

    I agree, but I'm still more baffled by the thought of movies based on Monopoly, Candy Land, and Battle Ship. Buh? :\

    Indy...I've missed you. Welcome back. :D

    Free Ebooks from Tor

    I'm in the same boat. I signed up using the Yahoo account I use for signing up for stuff on the net, and no email yet. I keep checking my junk mail too, but no sign of it there either. :\
