I went with the troll, ultimately. I found both choices bland, but the troll at least had an "Ohmigod!" image of terror in my head. But I'm willing to bet the Stone Giant paladin, who I went with this time around, will knock it out of the running. Because I don't think the unicorn's making...

I'd say low magic, but it really depends on how you look at it. The world itself tends to be fairly mundane; armies don't have war-wizards. Nobles are generally well-protected behind mundane stone walls. Joe Peasant probably has never seen anything more exotic than an elf or dwarf. While...

Fireballs are just another way of dealing damage. They are not, however, a method to circumventing something so final as death. Fireballs don't trivialize dying. And I'm curious how many people actually use the default magic setting, particularly among those who've answered this poll. For my...

This could be terrible or great or both. I do believe a certain sense of familiarity would be nice, so long as it's not over-played. I must confess a certain venomous desire, though, for any Fett-presence to shoot down some of the Expanded Universe. Though I suppose it would be too much to...

If I get up at 3 AM, decide I'm bored, and want to start playing for the next 12 hours fairly straight through, then do much the same tomorrow, thanks to the weekend, will this DM be up for that? And able to get at least 2-3 more players? And still be up for a weekly session? And pretty much...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the movie I've seen most often is the first Ghostbusters, easily over 10 times, quite possibly numbering into the hundreds of viewings. It's been a while, though. I use to watch it constantly around age five to eight or so and have since seen it a few more...

It depends on the game I'm running, really. Gods don't have a set place in most of them. Generally, though, gods can't be killed in my games, outside of completely extinguishing whatever concept they get worshipped for. You could no more kill the God of Bravery and Longswords than you could...

Ahh, but then, that wouldn't be the proper name. The Scarred Lands goddess for the Spider Queen is Sethris. Who, appropriately, is a weak, contemptible, scuttling thing who barely even qualifies for a god and was essentially laughed at by all the elves when she tried winning them over to...

Gnolls!

Many people find the virgin birth thing obnoxious at the very least, sacriligeous at worst. I prefer a Sith conspiracy because, while I don't mind destiny completely, I prefer it not to be so heavy-handed nor for the Force to necessarily have a will of its own. As for Anakin being inherently...

That's exactly how it works, though. "My lord, an orc horde is on the path." "Well, assemble your men and prepare for battle. I'll make the plans, delegate, and give orders. I'll get my advisors, we'll mount up our horses, and we'll sit in our tents planning or trot around the back lines...

If he did, that'd be trashing his own continuity pretty well, even more so than he already has. 88 years? Didn't the Jedi Council remark on the Sith having been gone for some 1,000 years? I'm going to say it's a rumor. I don't think even Lucas would say "Bother all" that much to what he's...

Same XP for everyone. Then again, I'm a communist and make all the characters have the same level as well, excluding something like being hit with a level drain or creating magic items.

One thing I will say is that Anakin's fall, while I do believe it credible, gave me the sense that George Lucas was off in the background saying "And this is where you fall," like the actors were taking their cues rather than Anakin was falling to corruption while Palpatine manipulated him. I...

No, that was Aayla "Is it cold in here?" Secura. Even on the off-chance that there was a second, female, blue-skinned twi'lek Jedi, that scene is in the full release trailer. So if you download it, you can fully see that it's her. I'd also find it rather lame were she to be magically brought...

Well, I don't think anyone bothered questioning it until Revenge of the Sith decided to say that becoming a Force ghost is some kind of new, nifty trick. And, for my part, I never really questioned it.

The major characters from the movies will exist only periphereally. Just who counts as a major character, though, well, who's to say? For all we know, it might end up being a Boba Fett fan-boys dream (so long as they can get over the fact that it will possibly further trash any background story...

...wasn't mentioned as he's kicking about well after the Jedi Order is nearly destroyed and it's unlikely Yoda or Obi-Wan bothered giving him any sort of uniform tips. Not to mention Luke's also treading the Dark Side by that point.

Actually, quite a few Jedi wear something other than traditional Jedi robes. It's just that most of them aren't blatantly different. Ki-Adi-Mundi, Shaak-Ti, Plo Kloon - all of them are wearing something other than the robes of Windu or Obi-Wan. Heck, Anakin's not even the only Jedi in all black...

Well, it's quite clear in A New Hope that Obi-Wan is deliberately stopping to do his disappearing trick. He looks to be purposely concentrating on becoming a force ghost for when Vader strikes him down, rather than allowing Vader the opportunity to kill him when he's not concentrating. So some...
