Not even a little. Come 9th level, nearly every cleric can raise the dead. Doing so requires a decent chunk of change, but the actual ability itself comes free. Without any need to amass a fortune. With only the barest of requirements to fulfill (Wisdom 15). With no particular need for a...

Yeah, a HBO miniseries I could get behind and trust in. Even if it were just a movie, though, I think I could support it - if the only reason things got cut or changed was to make it fit into a 2-3 hour time frame. But I doubt that will be the case.

I don't consider a Watchmen movie to be a good thing. It will only get butchered, and not merely for time constraints. I don't see the ending being the same from the comic to the movie. Hopefully it'll get canned again. If not, I'm nearly certain it will look something like the League of...

Gee. Last time I took this test, I believe it pegged me as Neutral Good. However, I also remember this test being really awful as far as alignment tests go. Let's see what happens now! Ahh, yeah. Awful so far. In part because of some of the options; like the disapproval of the elders one. Not...

Avoid the 3.5 Players Handbook at all costs. All it is is a vague up-date from the 3.0 Campaign Setting book with some tacked on, poorly conceived rules such as the aforementioned Magic Rating stapled into it. The DMG has a few magic items, a few story ideas, and the like. I'm not especially...

It's background and fluff mostly, which is as it should be. Not all characters who have a background that reasonably allows them to do whatever a certain feat does will necessarily have attended whatever organization the feat is restricted to. Furthermore, outside of house-ruling, you don't...

Yes. However, while a writer being a jerk can be a part of it, sometimes it's simply what the author reveals by posting. An author who posts with any regularity will reveal, to a degree, his interests. For an author I'm unfamiliar with, that gives me at least an idea of what I can expect from...

Depends on the no-win situation; will this cost the paladin his paladin-hood, regardless of what decision he makes? No, I wouldn't like that. Will the only right decision my paladin can make cost him his life? Yes, I would like that. Martyrdom, or even failure through cowardice, both appeal...

Four 10th level PC's, on their lonesome, aren't going to take over Eberron. Four 10th levels PC's, on their lonesome, could conceivably topple every major government on Khorvaire. By that point, they're big enough, and possibly mobile enough, to slaughter the leaders of many nations...

As others have stated, it's entirely up to the DM. Certain campaign settings presume certain things about the gods, but those differ from one to the next. Forgotten Realms makes them out to be fairly mortal, and killable in a fight, whereas the existence of Eberron's gods isn't even known for...

While he may still be a decent source to go to, it is worth noting that Joe's no longer a White-Wolf/Sword & Sorcery employee. His old Sword & Sorcery e-mail address is also gone, as far as I know.

Batman Begins, with X-2 coming in at a decent second. Much as I enjoy the Incredibles, I've never been able to quite reconcile it as in the same league as other super-hero movies, much in the same way I wouldn't put Shrek side by side with the Lord of the Rings. Also, while I enjoy the...

And Goldmember... Heh.

As I recall it, Wayne Industries actually bought out LexCorp and now owns it. Even disregarding Lex going all crazy and forsaking presidenthood, it came across like Wayne was the better off individual in comparison to Luthor. As a general aside, I found the listing amusing, so folk like...

Indiana's a just man devoted to archaeology. Batman's a just man devoted to justice. So Batman gets my vote.

1) Indiana Jones 2) Batman 3) Han Solo 4) Hm...Spider-man. Barely. I've found Spider-man less and less appealing, thanks namely due to the popularity of his movies, which I find decent but not great. But then, I'll take the underdog over the womanizer any day, even when a bit of spite wells...

1) Indiana 2) Bats 3) Gandalf 4) Kirk 5) Arthur 6) Luke 7) Han 8) Spidey

Clever though Odysseus may be, I'm a fan of the Big Blue Boy Scout. Go Supes. Though I won't be disappointed if Odysseus goes on; the both are certainly head and shoulders above Sheriden and the Hulk.

Am I the only one who thinks, that while it's fine and dandy for authors to pimp their work, there should be some preface about personal involvement in it? Just saying. Anyway - there's a number of good settings out there. As others have stated, and I inevitably bring up in any Scarred...

Run: - Ravenloft - Planescape - Scarred Lands - Midnight - Forgotten Realms Played In: - Forgotten Realms - Ravenloft And the rest's homebrews, I believe.
