...Wizards didn't rescind the Ravenloft license. White Wolf is the one to blame here. They let the license expire, as far as current info about what's going on indicates.

I generally chalk up Law and Chaos as a matter of "Trusting authority and institutions" and "Distrusting authority and institutions." Chaotic individuals can have codes, discipline, and even predictability. What sets them apart, though, is that they have little trust in groups. They'll form...

...Planescape? I wouldn't imagine Ravenloft would receive much more than Planescape has thus far.

1) Conan 2) Batman 3) Captain Marvel 4) Ripley 5) Super Mario 6) Luke 7) Meh. 8) Spidey 9) Indiana 10) Supes 11) Gandalf 12) Tough one. Abstain. 13) Vimes 14) Don't know Paladin, don't much like Sam. Abstain. 15) Han 16) Thrall 17) Austin 18) Wolverine 19) Sherlock Holmes 20) Kirk 21)...

Magic item shops are goofy and I don't use them. Once that's out of the picture, it becomes a lot easier to drop gold by the bucketful on the PC's. There are usually places they might be able to buy magic items, but chances are, they lack the connections, power, and ability to survive getting...

Keep in mind that, so long as the touch AC is hit, it's a hit. It just doesn't do any damage because you didn't hit the target anywhere vulnerable. I'm looking at the red dragon right now, and the highest its touch AC ever gets in 10. Just like how hitpoints arguably aren't a hit; they can...

I wouldn't call some of the NPCs - Meepo, the robot Ninja, the beholder pirate - as having personality insomuch as silliness going for them. Then there's the succubus, who I don't really think is a power-crazy concept insomuch as just stupid - though only because of the vrock mount. That's...

I'm unsurprised by the tarrasque winning, but highly disappointed. For all the Meepo love, which I can understand, I think the Marilith Dervish had the makings for something really cool and stylish without the goofiness of Meepo or the brute, hack and slash stupidity of the tarrasque. She's...

The multiple Dragonmarks ties into the general Eberron thread of 13 or 12+1. The number pops up quite frequently in the setting if you look around for it.

Seeing the past few episodes did make me twinge on a few points, though - the infantry battles. It seems that every fight involves the characters running at each other like idiots, screaming their heads off, and firing. Ignoring cover, tactics, and any general sense of survival. The ground...

Shadow-touch. It's positively insane, I think. It's like Poison, only cranked up to 11, as it incorporates Animate Dead, as well, only without the need for material components. And is all of third level. I found it a tad much.

Hmm...I'm trying to remember how swiftly I read through the last Harry Potter book. I think I ate through it over a two day period. I'll probably do the same with the Half-Blood Prince once I get my hands on it.

The tarrasque is a nit. A big, stupid, rampaging, one-trick pony nit. The Marilith Dervish, on the other hand, has style and potential for substance. It saddens me to see all the tarrasque support, as it seems the tarrasque may very well continue chugging forward. To heck with the...

Do I have that sort of problem...? No, not really. I usually end up GM'ing and I don't particularly try encouraging anyone to play any certain class. I have my restrictions (no monks or psionics, for example), but what I allow...I allow. In fact, while I don't think it's the worst thing in...

I've been watching a good deal of X-Play; it's on all the time. Suppose that's to be expected when it's just about the only decent thing on G4-TechTv. I also just flipped to Justice League Unlimited last Sunday. I'd seen the first few episodes, which weren't so great, but my DC interest has...

I'm with Mr. Dyal; if it's supposed to be analogous to a cavalry saber, the scimitar's the way I'd go.

Any more than a sorceror dropping a fireball on a church and saying "There is no god!,"? Or being able to predict an eclipse or create an explosion using a bit of gunpowder and the like and stating that it's an act of god? There's all sorts of perfectly mundane things one could do in the real...

No, they're not. Not even the majority of PC's ever meet a god; the great masses of NPC's most certainly don't. From a meta-game perspective, the player's and the DM may know beyond a shadow of a doubt that gods are real, but the vast majority of characters in the game world don't. And...

I generally DM, but occasionally get a one shot out of my players. During which I've played an Assassin/Blackguard of Mask, a Whirling Dervish of a gypsy, and a Bladesinger bard. I didn't vote for what I've had as NPC's, but I would like to say that I have at least one Hierophant NPC...

I was actually figuring it to be actress back-tracking. However, lacking any source for her saying she'd be in the series, that's a bit difficult to pin down.
