Most of David Gemmell's books are stand-alones. I argue that even the series books can stand alone (you can read Waylander and quit without reading the other books with Waylander in them. Same with Legend and Druss.) Highly recommend him if you haven't read his work.

"Apparently the guy loved the piece they played, but found the rest of the CD boring." Anyone who finds the 2nd movement of the 9th boring has no soul. The 4th is what most people are familiar with (it gets played in LOTS of movies), but the 2nd is my favorite! We used to "jam" to it in...

1. Maximus in Gladiator 2. Wallace in Braveheart 3. The Last Samurai... all of them at the end. "They are all perfect." 4. Tristan in Legends of the Fall. "It was a good death." 5. Elias in Platoon And I have to agree with the individual who pointed out Flint from Dragonlance. That one choked...

Giant Cockroaches. Even the little real ones creep me out. I will destroy my house chasing those little @!#$!@#$!@#. If I saw a giant roach I think I'd drop dead right on the spot.

I know I'm wading in late, but I really liked the engine in ToEE (when my computer wasn't locking up :\ ). I prefer it to BG/BG2/NWN. But then I also like turn-based games over RTS, so I'm definitely a lunatic fringe.

Maybe for the "roll players." "Role players" are above just hack-n-slash... aren't they? (Couldn't resist stirring the pot)

I used to have a map of Prydain that I found in the public library in a "Maps of Fantasy" atlas or such. Don't know what happened to it. It had Narnia, Middle Earth, Earthsea... I echo the sentiment above... I loved those books. I still have the original paperbacks I read in 3rd grade...

Yeah, Lord of the Isles isn't blowing my socks off, but I want to finish it. Thanks for the response. Does anyone know if there are more coming, or is the 5th book the finale?

I just picked up Mistress of the Catacombs today... ...how many books are in this series? Is it finished yet, or is he still writing? And why won't the publisher list the series in order?! Here's a list of books Drake has written, not grouped into any semblance of series or order. That is...

I like the sideburns. The really weird thing is that unedited she looks uncannily like my sister (who is able to smile).

I liked it. Agreed plot was very thin. Agreed it is linear. Agreed the options in combat are limited. But I still liked it.

How about 50% + (1d6-1 x 10), for a range of 50-100%? For some reason 50% of value has always stuck in my head, incorrectly or not, as a rule from 1E/2E.

Apologies if this has already been discussed... Is Monte's Warmain class from Arcana Unearthed balanced compared to the Fighter or Barbarian? Is anyone using it in a "normal" (non-AU) campaign? Repeat same question for Unfettered... I am not a rules lawyer/expert. They look OK to me, but I...

I read them so long ago... but no, there's no Carlos in the movie. I'm a big Ludlum fan, I've read almost every one of his books. They tend to blur together after a while, though. Read all 3. I like the story line... he's not outright taking revenge (stereotype plot), but rather is fighting to...

Many thanks to everyone for your answers. To answer the DM/player question... I'm both and neither. I'm more of a dabbler than anything else. I read the books, I write adventures, am building a world, and I play some, too (solo). More than anything else I read and daydream. I treat D&D as open...

I have not purchased anything but PDF's in a long time (is there any penance for that?) I'm starting to get the itch to buy another book. Of the following, which do you recommend (if I'm getting only one)? Complete Warrior Complete Divine Book of Vile Darkness Book of Exalted Deeds Unearthed...

I love how the knights in the movies NEVER take off their armor. Yeah, that's comfortable (and doesn't smell bad, either). Excalibur... eating in full plate.

First, thank you for the patch. But any chance of a separate listing of the changes for those of us that already printed the initial release? I'll print it again if I have to, but ink ain't free and I don't mind writing in the margins...

OK, so the opening scene has great effects. But will the movie suck like the other 2? I can't put my disappointment into words over the last 2 films. (sorry for hijacking your thread. It's just that a friend and I where talking about this the other day so the angst is still fresh on my mind)
