    Supernatural Season 4 - Spoilers

    The main problem I saw was that they should know there is no end because there is no head to cut off. While they may be in the middle of a demon/angel war right now, there are plenty of other threats. If Lilith was stopped there would still be plenty of Shifters, Ghosts, Vampires, Werewolves...

    2009 Oscars

    Its happened though. Bueaty and the Beast was nominated for Best Picture and I think only lost because it was up against Oscar Mega-hit Silence of the Lambs.

    I hate to mention it because I think it sucks but Ice Pirates fits your criteria.

    Forked Thread: Healing Surges: Let's see them in Action!

    Whither Necromancer Games?

    I think it is more likely the next couple of months until a decision. With the lead times for publication if a publisher wants something by Gen Con they need to make a call shortly.

    Forked Thread: Healing Surges: Let's see them in Action!

    The healing surge mechanic can be found in some movies and in other movies it is not used. I'm not sure what the point is in pointing out examples of each. Some people like movies where the hero is plotted that way, some people don't. Some people like heroes in movies acting that way but don't...

    You say planetary adventure but then list Star Wars. If that qualifies you might want to check Serenity.

    Forked Thread: Healing Surges: Let's see them in Action!

    I would rather have recovery times be somewhat realistic and let the plot follow from there rather than having the plot force recovery times whether they be fast or slow.

    Forked Thread: Healing Surges: Let's see them in Action!

    There is not a 1 to 1 correlation but I can see railroading and movie style plotting as being very similar. In both cases the important thing is to move the plot forward as one person (Writer/Director/DM) sees fit. Characters heal rapidly or are able to push through things not because it is...

    Forked Thread: Healing Surges: Let's see them in Action!

    Which is well and fine for some people. Others view movies and novels as inspiration and not something for direct emulation. Some folks want a more stimulationist approach. I for one want a more simulationist approach and don't want my RPGs so directly emulating how fictional characters work so...

    Hit Points & Healing Surges Finally Explained!

    No, I would argue that he was wearing mithral armor that protected him. The armor acted as damage reduction and Frodo was left with a bruise. The way Tolken wrote it it comes off in my mind as much like a bulletproof vest stopping a bullet. D&D, whether 3rd or 4th, does not model this type of...
