    Once, Twice, Three times a Hive

    Mmmmmh... Cadbury! It's, by the way, cream egg season again! :D Cheers, LT.

    Once, Twice, Three times a Hive

    Well, yeah - also just here because of the ENW "Summer Camp" at CM. Though I usually prefer CM as an outlet for random chattering... by the way, what's your screenname at CM, because I get the feeling that I had a Dr. Midnight-moment! :heh: Cheers, LT.

    Once, Twice, Three times a Hive

    Sure. That's what we (as in humans) are good at, picking things up and getting back to normal! ;) Though the full list of Rev alts... read a bit like a "Who's Who" of the hive. :-S Cheers, LT.

    Oh, this sounds terrible. :( Best wishes and I hope that Rev recovers soon.

    STAR TREK by JJ Abrams - new photos

    That's why I consider the Mirror Universe two-parter as the "real" ending. It was definitely making up for the retro-TNG ending. Cheers, LT.

    Rate The Watchmen movie

    The entire film felt slow compared to a lot of other films - but I have to say I enjoyed that. It was paced differently from an action film, something that fits the theme and tone of the film (note: I deliberately avoided reading the comic before the film). It struck me as a...

    D&D 4E 4E6: an E6 for fourth edition!

    Actually, IIRC, neither of that was the idea behind E6, but rather that at level 6, PCs were close to describing fantasy books and so on. With 7th level, spellcasters got into the reach of spells like scrying and on 9th level, all hell broke loose with stuff like teleport, raise dead and their...

    4E Consequences: Being passive, cautious, or a loner is now unoptimized

    I think there's a slight difference: In 3E, you favoured offence because it was the "offence is the best defence" strategy. Basically, you tried to stay in a secure position, then drop them as fast as you can to avoid the risk of retaliation. In 4E, you have to go offensive despite the fact...

    Do you heart cute animals? I do.

    Really unfortunate choice... Cheers, LT.

    RE: Reveille

    Oh man, that sounds like really scary news. :( I hope Fru gets better soon, best wishes here. He keeps most of his stuff on ENWorld, as far as I know, in various threads and the social groups he founded. Just look at his account, search for his threads and his social groups. LT.

    Mearls talks about how he hates resistances

    Well, that's a bit like the problem with wholesale immunities - it's sort of an arms race of counter effects. First you have resistance. Then you have resistance-trumping feats, then resistance-trumping resistance... and so on. Furthermore, with the introduction methods to circumvent...

    Heroes #17:Cold Wars-Season 3-2009

    Or may require some skin contact (I sort of remember that he only got Mohinder's super-strength in the plane after touching his hand). If new-Peter is smart-Peter, he might have avoided that. But I might be wrong... Cheers, LT.

    Mearls talks about how he hates resistances

    ...so under that system, one could basically relabel all different energy/element damage types just to "elemental damage", but leave the keywords. Then the entire system of interactions could trigger off the keywords - defence adjustments, feats, other powers... I rather like that - but then I...

    A flavorful thread with Sour Cream and cHIVEs : Are you hungry yet?

    Isn't that like the hive already is? Just with moving pictures? :heh: Cheers, LT.

    A flavorful thread with Sour Cream and cHIVEs : Are you hungry yet?

    No, no, no - you got it all wrong. Crothian is a function based on the total amount of Enworld posts. He's something like ENWorld's pet SkyNet. :heh: Cheers, LT.

    A flavorful thread with Sour Cream and cHIVEs : Are you hungry yet?

    People who talk about sanity tend to be pretty sane. The insane ones are those who don't talk about it any more. Ye gads, can I put you to the String theorists? You should fit right in there! Cheers, LT.

    Mearls talks about how he hates resistances

    Interesting. Coincidentally, a couple of weeks ago, my personal discovery was that vulnerabilities are fitting 4E's "yes" mindset better than resistances. But Mearls idea of triggers and the vulnerability extension from One Bad Egg are much, much better. I really think that 4E - though less...

    Making Con a bit more important

    Not true, it's just a little harder to see. You get bonus healing surges for high Con, i.e. every point of Con bonus gives you 1/4 of your hit points. If you add up the total hit points a character has per day (base hit points + hp from all surges), then you see that the effect of Con is still...
