On the other hand, “Keep on the Borderlands” is a better introductory adventure than “Castle Mistamere”. The advantage of Mistamere is that it starts the party in the dungeon (well, just outside it). The DM doesn’t have to read pages of text about how many pieces of silver the tailor has hidden...

“Castle Mistamere” is a better introductory adventure than “Keep on the Borderlands”.

“Mystara” is a better campaign setting than “Forgotten Realms”

“Flight of the Navigator” is more entertaining than “E.T.” Edit: If Paul Reubens had been the voice for E.T., the movie would have been a lot better.

“Raising Arizona” is funnier than “Caddyshack”.

A couple of examples from the podcast “3d6, Down the Line” (their Dolmenwood campaign): 1. They needed to talk to a group of knights, who were dining in a fancy inn, but the hotel staff would not let them enter. The mage cast “ventriloquism” to make one of the knight’s dinners speak. The knights...

Regardless of what one thinks about 4th edition, the 4th Edition DM’s guide is the best one ever written (so far).

All seafood is gross. People whine about the possibility of being forced to eat bugs, then dig into lobsters and shrimps, which are bugs.

Here’s (probably) an unpopular opinion: Hardee’s has the best fast-food burger. Not Carl’s Jr., Hardee’s. They are NOT the same.

But, I’m serious. Corky’s is much better than the Rendezvous. And the Public Eye was my favorite. Good food, nice location, on Overton Square, a free bowl of popcorn… Edit: that’s not to say that the Rendezvous is bad. I like it just fine. Parking is atrocious. Edit #2: But, I also like...

Corky’s is better than Rendezvous The Public Eye was better than either of them.

Looks like the higher tier pledges have some pretty nice goodies. Miniatures and dice and a cloth map and a soundtrack

Two hours after I got the notification, it had reached $340,000, with over 2,300 backers

Cavalier’s a cool guy! … … … Oh, you meant the class. Nevermind. I would like to add that one can build a slayer to, at level 1, hit an AC 15 on a roll of 3 2 or better, when charging. (Some of these bonuses might not stack) Human Slayer, STR 20 (+5), slayer weapon talent (+1 with a weapon)...

This may take a minute. I’ve not played any of these. Dungeon Issue # 155 “Heathen”, 5 for characters of 5th level. Starts on page 29, ends on page 59. Find out what happened to the paladin and his crew. Setting is generic. Would posting the number of encounters in the adventure count as...

Thought of another one: in “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” There is a scene of prisoners breaking rocks, while in DND:HAT, it’s prisoners breaking ice. Bonus reference with the main character trying to get home to his wife.
