    The new Battlestar

    I've seen the claim that 50 megatons would be something on the order of the destructive power of 2500 Hiroshima bombs. Boom, Baby.

    Rate the stereotype - do you raid dungeons?

    W3rd. It usually goes like this: A village elder approaches the party (which is either passing through the village or have been met outside that environment by the elder), who pitches it thusly: "Them danged ole orcs is been gittin' in th' cabbages agin and have bin makin; off wif our dotters...

    The new Battlestar

    Well, I've seen the whole mini (two-part movie, really). I'm conflicted; I watched the original during its first run back in tha day, and loved it. I collected the Walt Simonson Galactica comics. I suffered through G80. I tried to keep up with the latter-day comics in the 90s. I wanted a...

    What Were They Thinking? Worst Comic Ideas.

    I so desperately want someone to hit Chuck Austen in the face with a large, blunt object. I know that someone in this thread has mentioned Valiant, but I don't think that anyone has brought up the ill-considered "rebooting" of the Valiant Universe...y'know, where Turok is a college student...

    Justice League [Hereafter] (Spoilers - Maybe)

    Just some disjointed thoughts: Good episode; I'll say that for a bit after reading the "Earth mourns the loss of her greatest hero" jazz on the CN site I thought that they were going to trot out Doomsday (having regenerated from Alternate-Supes's heat-vision lobotomy) and use him to off Supes...

    What is Science-Fantasy to you?

    Yes. Also, Nausicaa (and at least one-third of all other anime), Star Wars, Hannah-Barbera's 60s Space Action Heroes, ERB's Pellucidar stories, about a quarter of his Tarzans, DC's Warlord...and a host of others.

    Are gamers smarter?

    Christ, no.

    Prickly moral situation for a Paladin - did I judge it correctly?

    No cartoons or desserts for a week! :D wally: "Hail, hail, fire and snow..." If my DM ripped off that episode for an adventure, I'd consider divorcing her.

    Prickly moral situation for a Paladin - did I judge it correctly?

    Actually, I'm about one-third through it -but- I also have in my sweaty hands a copy of Phillip Wylie's Gladiator, which I've been itching to read for a couple of decades. :cool: Decisions, decisions... :D

    Prickly moral situation for a Paladin - did I judge it correctly?

    Gosh, late to the dance! I'm with the Paladin 100%; the little bastards weren't children anymore -- if they ever were; this scenario puts me in mind of "Village of the Damned". It's an old B&W movie about a small army of weird blond & blue-eyed alien children born into a small English hamlet...

    [OT] I want this guy as an NPC on my side!

    Warduke is coming to Dungeon #105

    I too, am eagerly anticipating the Return Of Warduke. Some of the episodes annoy me, but I still easily enjoy a good half of them (I finally got them all; hoo-ray Intarweb!); I think that most of the show's problems arose from: 1) S&P not allowing them to perform more "realistic" levels of...

    What quirky non-magical/minor magic items have you created for your campaign?

    Talkcrystals: This polished crystaline ovoid, roughly the size of a common hen's egg and apparently of a 50 GP value, allows the holder to speak with anyone who also holds a similar crystal, if the name of the other being is known, regardless of distance (but both must be on the same plane). The...

    Warduke is coming to Dungeon #105

    Dang, DnDChick, that's some pretty cool work. I'd quibble a bit over the ages of Hank, Eric, Diana and Sheila, but what can I say? I'm a big geek. :D Upper_Krust: Yeah, Warduke had a souped-up frostbrand that was powerful enough to freeze Dungeon Master into a cube of ice.

    Warduke is coming to Dungeon #105

    Finally, I stopped laughing long enough to breathe and type. I'm only glad I wasn't drinking anything at the time. :D

    Warduke is coming to Dungeon #105

    I don't think that Venger is that sort of half-fiend; I always assumed that he was corrupted by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and transformed into what we see in the cartoon. I also assumed that DM never appeared in his true form (at least one fanfic writer speculated that he's Bahamut *shrug*), what...

    Vote for your favorite original D&D monster!

    Mind Flayer, baaaaay-BEE! Beholder would be a close second, followed by Piercer and Stirge. I wish that Grell was on the list...

    Warduke is coming to Dungeon #105

    All right! Can we hope for Venger and The Young Ones, too, at a future date?

    Is it possible to have a Chaotic society?

    The Drow have a psychotic society; there's a difference. I wonder if the question isn't being posed incorrectly... A basic assumption made by many in similar discussions across the Intarweb seems to be that if you have any rules, laws or traditions older than, oh, say, yesterday, your...
