Sadly enough, you were accurately informed. I wanted it to be awesome and it had a good voice cast, but it looked godawful. Anything draconian, dragon or fire was CGI and everything else was regular animation. This creates very jarring effects. Also, when you first encounter draconians in...

I'm very behind but: One vuvuzela included w/every PHB! It can double as a Horn of Blasting to boot :)

You know, one of my really bad 3.5 experiences happened w/a group where one of the members, when we were discussing possibly starting higher than 1st level, whine that if we didn't begin at 1st level we "would never really know our characters". Really? For make believe characters in a make...

I've read the GNS theory and don't believe it has any real use other than causing arguments. I listed that specific example largely from someone upthread making comments on how the group making characters knowing X is what the focus of the campaign would be about is an example of Y. I have...

Cyberpunk:2020. Their gun system was super deadly, but guns were one of the first things people would use in response to a threat. My character was killed w/in 5 minutes of the game starting, I think before I even had an action. You could always just play Rolemaster tho. Some level 1 shmoe...

I've ben shown Spice before. I was in high school and it was in satellite. Eric's grandma would NOT be happy to be shown it I'm betting :) Yeah it's late and I got nothing but lame jokes heh

I have hated the whole GSN Theory crap ever since it came out. It is used largely for cases like what this thread has turned into. Useless navel-gazing. I don't' find GSN useful at all. I don't think of my gaming in terms like Gamist or Simulationist. It's just crap. I thought 3.5 was...

We're running Revenge of the Giants and I have a Halfling Rogue Daggermaster. He's heavily optimized to the point where against most of our enemies, I hit on a 4, 2 w/combat advantage. If I charge, it's even better. Of course, last session I still missed w/3 attacks in a row. There's a...

Oh I'm not surprised by the change honestly, I just saw people complaining about some other things and thought it was curious such a large buff to Int/orb based casters wasn't getting commented on :)

No, you just described what White Wolf did w/the New World of Darkness :)

Uhm, what? A level 30 minion is worth 4750XP. A L4 minion is 75. I have no idea where you figured a L4 minion is worth 4750

That just sounds like the Bard made into an actual role. I almost played a Gnome Bard for our current campaign (went Halfling Daggermaster Rogue instead heh) and he was gonna be a lot of fun. Lowest skill was a 9, lots of attack penalties to throw out and he even had access to the Death Subway...

I noticed that no one has mentioned the change to the Orb of Nimble Thoughts. It's now changing from +Int to Initiative to +enhancement bonus. No more buying a sub 1k gold OH item to add +5 or 6 to your init mod.

I'm one who was definitely tired of 3.5 and didn't feel Pathfinder fixed much that needed fixing. Good on them, but when WotC is barely producing any physical books (esp when compared to early 4E or the 3.x era), that certainly makes them less of a challenger. Paizo is judging their success on...

The Swordmage Handbook is well put together. It acknowledges up front that you have crap for damage and that of the 3 types of Swordmages, the Shielding type is best supported. That said, since when do they play like other Defenders? Paladins, Wardens and Fighters all try and keep enemies...

So it's highlighted today, but the link takes you to the Shadow Themes article. There I went getting all excited :/ heh

The link for MM3 on a business card was pretty great. My DM loved it when I showed it to him

Skipping the levels just means we get to make up more story. I played w/a guy once who claimed you would never really know your character if you didn't start at 1st level. That was such crap. Yay a Feist reference :) Given how often he ends up consorting w/gods, pug certainly achieves Epic...

For actual game mechanics I definitely prefer the 4E version, but original box set is the best core version. I was down w/Dark Sun until about the Dragon Kings book. Shortly after that came the Revised box set and things just got weird. I was a fan of books like the Valley of Dust and Fire...

oh, I made 5 of the 6 PCs and twinked us all pretty hard, but w/in the rules heh. We're pretty nasty. The first couple of encounters he saw how much we overpowered them and we all voted for new monster math for future sessions
