Maybe I'm a genre-blind doofus, but I kind of like The Last Airbender. And I never watched one minute of the animated series. It was an entertaining 2 or so hours, campy enough that I thought it evoked an animated series in a live-action film, and frankly just not as bad as Rotten Tomatoes...

Hooray. Just got notice of the broadcast in my inbox and I have to say, I'm very excited that the Monster Builder is that close to completion that they're willing to start testing it with the VTT. I might have to set something up on the VTT and give the CB and MB imports a whirl. :)

Boo-urns. ;)

Glad to see I'm not the only one reporting this. I thought my Chrome install had gone all kablooey. Hope you can get this corrected ASAP. I can't even remember the last time I used IE for anything other than confirming my CSS was cross-browser compliant. I'd hate to have to use it *just* for...

Maybe it's because I'm trying to open in Excel (but I doubt it, since Excel recognizes the file type and converts it just fine), but it's telling me I need to provide a password since the file's been locked. =/

The monthly game that I DM just hit 5th level a session or two ago, and I recently got the Monster Vault for Christmas. I like the included module "Cairn of the Winter King", and I had a really good idea for including it in my campaign. But it's for a 4th level party of 5 PCs. I have 6 PCs...

I used to get a kick out of naming WoW characters with my wife. We'd always level together, and we'd name ourselves as part of a famous pair of words. Something like: Smash & Grab Run & Hide Salt & Pepper Mac & Cheese Burgers & Fries Wings & Dip One time, we talked another friend into...

My wife plays in every game I play or run. Not because I expect her to, but because she wants to. We get to share that time, it gives us each someone to discuss the game with, and it's been really cool to watch her grow as a player and occasional DM. Shortly after we got married I started...

I know quite a few people who will be very happy to hear they're working on this.

This character is replacing a Guardian druid that I quite frankly grew tired of playing. He'll be making his first in-game appearance this weekend. Bennock Ironhelm, AKA "Benn" D&D 4e (Essentials) Male Dwarf Hunter 7 Bennock is a roguish, crossbow-wielding, former tomb robber. He, along with...

I don't disagree with you on the logic of your premise. Do I have players who would probably chip in $5.00 if they knew they didn't have to buy their own subscription...yeah, I do. But over all, I think this kind of model would result in less subscriptions and less money for WotC - In Group A...

This. Which, if I didn't absolutely deplore being insulted by some toad because I'm not a stone-cold optimizer, I'd completely be interested in this. As it is, for the group that actually all lives within driving distance of the FLGS, I'm the biggest optimizer. And that's being generous. My...

Other than the "set aside time specifically for game prep" and "the notebook" ideas, I really don't have any other constructive advice to offer. I've had similar issues over the last 6+ years, but I've managed to curtail it mostly by maintaining a wiki for my game, which I use largely like the...

I saw the review first, then played the game. I really wish I'd done it in the proper order. :)

One of my DM's wrote The Skull of Necromancy Scenario. I'm looking forward to finally giving it a look-see. :)

Strangely enough, I have real-life experience with this type of scenario as well - My wife and I had to make the terrible decision to take our son off of life support a little over 4.5 years ago. And strangely, that was an easier to decision to make, knowing my son had absolutely zero...

Ethically, I agree with you 100%. And it's real easy to get indignant and puff my chest out and say that I want nothing to do with helping my brother. It's an entirely different thing to actually have to do it. And I think that's kind of what the OP is missing - it's not just about what we...

Well, my mentally ill younger brother (27 years old) is slowly bleeding my parents dry, driving his friends and loved ones away time after time, and is a ticking time bomb waiting to kill himself because he refuses to take his medication. He's old enough to hold down a job (he refuses to stay...

I'm a fan of the Reaper minis, but they're unpainted metal minis. Mini painting isn't really all that difficult a proposition, but it is time consuming. I always forget that Reaper does a have a pre-painted plastic mini line, it's just not that extensive: Legendary Encounters

A friend has gotten me into the Dresden Files books, so I'll be continuing those. But I started off the year finishing an old Year's Best Science Fiction short story anthology, and I'm about to move onto The Passage by Justin Cronin. After that, I'll finally finish off my copy of The Hard...
