I continued to play in my hybrid 1e-2e AD&D campaign. Same ol' same ol'.

Did the DM work out the relationship between the PC and NPC with the player, or did he just foist the NPC off on him with an "Oh, here's the guy with whom in your childhood you climbed hills and trees, learned of love and ABCs, skinned your hearts and skinned your knees"? In our group's...

I wasn't aware that this was the "comment on other posters" thread; I thought it was for discussing how we feel about how WotC has been handling D&D. Oh, and in answer to your question, abso-frelling-lutely.

What does "Wants to kick WotC in the Corporate junk" translate into? :D I think that many of my complaints mirror Gothmog's (that saved some space...oh, but that wasted some of the saved space...uh...I like swords.) An RPG book simply needs sturdy construction, a reasonably attractive (or at...

Say "Cool; whatcha wanna play?" But then, I wouldn't necessarily call those stats "out of line". As a DM, I frankly don't care how a player comes up with their stats (including having a drunken macaque pull them out of a hat). No one in my group is dishonest or abusive that way, anyway (except...

I will cheerfully rip anything from anywhere, be it almost any RPG, novel/short story (Fantasy, SF, Mystery, Western, Technothriller, Horror, Historical or Quasi-Historical, "Literature", Humorous, et al), film (any), Theatre, TV show, cartoon/anime, comic book, non-fiction (histories -- I have...

The term "balance" when applied to DnD makes me want to beat someone to death with a brick wrapped around another brick.

Hate "munchkin"; it's a term used by one subset of nerdlingers to put down another subset of nerdlingers. Another thing I hate is the auto-dismissal of any non-statistical game-related information as "flavor text", the unspoken part being "because if it ain't got a number attached to it, screw...

Maybe Gandalf is more of a high-level Expert/Bard with the Istari Template (which gives him a few damaging spells and the ability to control the artifacts that he posesses, plus some minor divine powers) rather than Fighter or Paladin, since he's mostly about inspiring/teaching/guiding and not...

IMC, the larger number of the commanders of most civilized armies are repulsed by the baser drives of the "beasts" (i.e., the common rabble soldiery) under them. However, most of them "lie back and think of the Empire" -- so to speak -- in the field when it comes to pillaging, looting and rape...

Money orders, gift certificates (McDonalds, Borders, Papa John's), Travelers' Cheques and Paypal would work for me in addition.

W3rd. OK, since we're talking kidvid and cartoons, who else dug the D&D Cartoon? Oh, some of the eps don't hold up as well as they might today, but it was written head and shoulders above its competition; had it been made in the last decade or so -- but not remade or "re-imagined" -- it could...

*sigh* I do so love that movie; IIRC, I got turned onto it by a coworker many moons ago when I worked at a video store. She'd drive me nuts quoting Vezzini and threatening to flash the customers with the black dove tattooed on her right boob.

At the risk of appearing to be a supa-wuss (though I was no more than 10 at the time), I cried when .

I wouldn't doubt that Howard has Bababooey or one of the dopey interns checking geek message-boards just to see if any nerdlingers were pissed about it (or that one of us *looks around* will email the show about threads like this one for funsies).

Hawk The Slayer, Baby. Everyone wanted a Mindsword after watching this. Hundra: Amazon tribe gets wiped out, lone survivor travels to Man's World to find someone worthy of fathering her child. The culture outside the Amazons' realm makes the world in the Gor novels look enlightened. Hundra...

"...you do not, by chance, have six fingers on your right hand, do you...?"

Bad movies? Quick Change: First 15 or so minutes are pretty damn funny, with Bill Murray robbing a bank in a clown costume...then it turns into a festering heap of feces. I was watching it with my wife and our flatmate, and felt the horror crawling over me as the movie progressed. I furtively...

Great; one of the few mornings that I don't listen to Howard and I miss something on the show that's really good.

Yep. 1) IIRC (as buzzard indicated), the Russians (Cold War flavor) did. 2) Not me, Baby; Ground Zero all the way; instant vaporization, preferably while asleep or "in the saddle", without realizing what's happening. No lingering slow death due to starvation, radiation or brain-eating punk...
