Actually doesn't work with swimming because it is still the overal weight that matters. Climbing, however, I'm going to have to defend. A lot of the encumberance for armor is not in the weight but the restriction in movement. Strapping it to your packa nd freeing up your joints and hands would...

Not sure about this, I agree that they make a difference for the first day or two while you are getting used to an entirely new type of footware. I wear heavy steel toed hiking boots a lot and they have never impacted my encumberance except in snow or water. On normal hiking I find they help...

See the Mutant Massacre thing is what really killed gambit for me. Here is a character that wasn't even concieved of when the original MM was done, and don't believe the little bits of hype to the contrary. Here they have a successful character so they plop him down into one of the most famous...

That may be, but here it doesn't count. There are numerous small animals that would deal 0 damage if that were always the case. He's right that there are a lot of special cases where no damage is dealt, but those say specifically 0 damage + N where N is the effect. The rule does state that when...

I am going to have to say 2006 for one main reason. We are talking bout hasbro and not WotC. Hasbro has cut their teeth on two things, anime toy lines and ccgs. If we look at the marketing scheme of those two comodoties you find that they are an every 2-3 year cycle. Look at pokemon, yugioh and...

That would be Anakin, the way it was, I'm sorry but Annie is the only thing that fits. I kept expecting him to pull out a teddy bear and cry.

thread-jack Actually most historians I have read agree that Hitler was a pretty normal guy until just after his trip to paris where he began to go crazy and begin his whole downward spiral. If Hitler had died shortly after the picture of him standing on the bridge in paris the world may have...

And baring the d6 threads, and the vampire requime thread. Sorry, IME it's the same on either side of the market. Most of my friends have dozens of different systems and love all of them. This idea that gamers stick with one system has never panned out till d20 came along. Most players of other...

I have to say I agree with this considering one of his other posts (seems to be the majority of his posts) was in the d6 thread bashing it.

Actually I wasn't defending the company, I was stating fact. If you read what a lot of the people who like harp say, they seem to kinda say the same thing that I did. BTW if I left dnd it wouldn't be because I was tired of generic fantasy, namely dnd isn't generic in any sense of the word in any...

I can give you the names I have used for my real life horses if you are looking for a bit of realism: Honeybee Sugar Lady Suxie Q of the Seven Winds (that is her actual registered name, not my doing) Windy Mirage Jezebel Tidus S**tkicker (long story, was a friend's horse)

Actually vampire could have pulled away a lot of dnd players. It did, just without trying. A lot of people were fed up with 2nd ed and so tried something new and found they liked wod. Now having said that I think HARP is in the same situation, they are pulling in a lot fo people, if you doubt...

If that's the case then I apologize. The way I read it was that what HARP needed to do was to let everyone know how they were different from dnd and how they did things that dnd didn't. I just don't agree, I have never bought a book because of either sales tactic, either the "better than N" or...

also where is this officialy stated slogan of "better than d20" that you keep throwing around people? I have spent the last couple hours reading sites and stuff and I have not seen a single case of official words saying "better than d20" if I am missing it then could someone pelase point it out...

Actually that's not the case. It does not have to compare itself to d20/dnd or any other system at all, sorry but dnd is not god. All it has to do, and what it *has* done, is turn heads enough to get a small % of people looking at it. Then that small % makes up its mind and begins to talk about...

Actually what I said was at this time. Yes, at this time, what you hear most often is lamentaiton about bad d20 products causing hardships to get rid of, do some reading on the boards and you will see this as the case as well. Reading other boards I rarely see anyone lambast other companies as...

Going to have to put my two cents in here Nightwalker, sorry, lol I liked dazzler and longshot both, although I did prefer both of them when they teamed up with lila and went their own way. Still think dazzler had one of the best xm cards ever of her in that blue suit with the short hair. I...

That is speculation and comes close to a personal attack on them, which is the very thing you are accusing them of, which are you? the pot or the kettle? If you wish to say that you feel they are doing it as an attack, that is one thing, but you have consistently taken the tact of knowing...

I don't know, I personally have not had much luck with either DL or TH, both places have had people who said they were interested in playing and then never show up. My group of 3 years here has exactly one person that was picked up from DL that lasted more than a week.
