    I know Druids can be evil, but how evil can they really be?

    Evil druids I've run tend to be extremists. Some felt they had to take an active, violent hand at curbing the expansion of civilization, others almost feral. Eberron has two great examples of possible evil druids that come to mind. The Ashbound sect detests arcane magic as unnatural and...

    Do you own a set of "crystal" dice?

    I own two sets, but I don't generally use them in games. I like strange dice, so I have large, small, oddly shaped, unusual materials. So as someone who collects dice, I've quite enjoyed them.

    Battlestar Galactica

    I'm not sure if I'd qualify it as my favourite series, but after eleven episodes, I'd have to say that it is the most consistently high quality sci-fi series I've ever seen. Looking forward to the two part season finale.

    Just saw the Battlestar Galactica Miniseries!

    I believe the mini-series is out on DVD now.

    Just saw the Battlestar Galactica Miniseries!

    Indeed. It is a dangerous argument to make when beginning any statement with something amounting to "Most people feel...". Granted it may be true that most people you've spoken with dislike the series, but I find that human beings tend to group together, online or off, with those of similar...

    Just saw the Battlestar Galactica Miniseries!

    13 completed episodes with another 6 ordered. I have been quite enjoying it as well, and look forward to the North American airing.

    Enterprise 12-03-04

    Agreed. Aside from a potential prelude to the Romulan war, we have some nice backstory explaining just how long the Romulans have been dangling "Reunification" as a potential reason to destabilize or invade Vulcan.

    Enterprise 11-19-04

    Was there not also a proto-Romulan reference in the episode? Mentioning the last opponents of Surak being "those who marched under the raptor's wings" or something like that, with the symbol of the symbol of the Romulan empire being a raptor grasping the twin homeworlds.

    Anakin (spoilers and speculation)

    I thought I might point out that (and I know this is extended universe, so not necessarily applicable) when I recall reading the Jedi sourcebook for Star Wars d20, there seem to be a fair amount of cases similar to Anakin. Powerful Jedi is 'turned to the dark side', accomplishes acts of...

    Having trouble with a villain.

    Perhaps this mage academy gains control of one of the spells/rituals/plots initiated by Leska that would let them gain control or great influence over the world's magic, perhaps even letting them close this elemental rift. Leska might have been a clear cut villain, but a full academy might be...

    So, who saw the premier of the new Battlestar Galactica?

    Keep in mind that in the mini-series, the Galactica was due for decomissioning. It was going to be a museum. One of the landing bays was a giftshop or somesuch. When the Cylon attack happened, a major point was actually re-arming the ship from a supply depot in order to do what they could...

    Slayers: Where does Naga Fit in?

    Naga and Lina travelled together preceeding the main series, so most of the movies are prequels. That tends to be why the most powerful magic Lina will use during the OAVs/Movies is the Dragon Slave. I don't recall if it is mentioned why they stopped traveling together. There are some vague...

    AAAARRGGGHHH!!! (Or "Enough with the trilogies already!!!")

    I have a friend who is betting the next one is going to be about Ivan. I could do with another dose of Mark though. Something on Sergyar might be keen.

    [Anime] Evangelion Opus music video

    I have the DVD quality version somewhere in my collection of burned CDs. I think they still host it on animemusicvideos.org

    How is Feng Shui?

    Using Metal Gear Solid as an example, since it was asked, I think since Feng Shui lends itself more to over the top action, it might be easier to create something closer to say...Twin Snakes than the original MGS.

    Can you help me find a name for an empire?

    I'll submit the name of my own DM's romanesque empire: Dermosia

    "The Simpsons" come out of the closet

    You're thinking of Troy McLure, who wouldn't be in the running. He was retired, along with the rest of the characters voiced by Phil Hartman.

    Keith Baker (creator of Eberron) Q & A thread

    Just a thought on healing in the Mournlands, but would treating wounds something like those from Vile damage be appropriate? Maybe even somewhat more severe, allowing a Hallowed or similar area be used to heal? Though given the flavour of the place, I still think I'd use minimalized healing...

    Star Trek XI: Romulan Wars

    Weren't Khan's Eugenics Wars in the 1990s in the Trek-verse?

    Why should I care about the FLGS?

    Since I noticed a few comments by Winnipeg gamers, I thought I'd mention my FLGS of choice. Face Off Sports Cards and Collectables near Ness and Sturgeon. Though primarily a card and miniatures shop, they've been carrying game books for a good long time there. I worked there for a short...
