Thanks, I will. I was just about to bump the thread so my poor posts didn't get lonely.

Okay, I was wrong earlier when I said it was bogus. I went to Waldenbooks at my mall today and got a copy. While it wasn't on the shelf yet, I did get the salesgirl to go into the back room and get me a copy. While she grabbed mine, she got a stack to put on the shelves. I thought I'd try my...

Bump...because time grows short...

Your taste in books seems very similar to mine. What did you think of "The Road"? Did you know it will be released as a movie later this year?

I agree. I just spoke with my local B&N and they have a hard release date of the 20th. They would not even admit that they were in stock yet.

This seems counter to what I have previously read. Perhaps it was merely speculation, but I was having standing from prone provoke in my last play test. It made falling prone in the middle of melee a very bad thing. It also added some teeth to opponents who had a trip type attack.

There will be a 4E Demo, Escape from Sembia, at Eagle's Games and Hobbies in Bellingham, WA on Sunday, May 18th. Space is limited to the first 6 people to arrive. The game begins at Noon and will run for about 4 hours.

Wow! I cannot believe that WOTC would be so sloppy with their 4E premiere product! This product will make or break the game for many, many gamers and this level of ineptitude is staggering. Hell, where are the editors?

Can you drive down to Bellingham twice a month?

As the DM of Devyn's game, I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents (I'm really cheap) and respond to some of the points he raised. Before I do, however, I'd just like to acknowledge Tom Ko at WOTC, who gave us the opportunity to play this demo. I know some of you have questioned WOTC's motives...

I watched the Ang Lee Hulk trailer after this one. Ang Lee's Hulk just looks better. Hopefully the new Hulk will be a better movie.

I know I don't have to ask, but I will anyway. Please don't post spoilers about the adventure. I want to keep reading this thread, but I don't want to see any details that I don't need to see. Thanks.

I want my minimals. There's nothing quite like a herd of miniature cows! :)

Okay, confession time. I LOVED the Orcish Shotput. My half-ogre fighter used them to great effect. Those and the harpoon on a rope trick! :)

As it is, they look like goat-people. Give them little goatees and change the name to Goatborn. Or, house-rule them to look like something you'd like to play. I like to imagine them as the devil guy in the Star Wars Cantina. I'd post a picture, but my post-fu is bad.

I just received The Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie, but I have to finish Feast of Souls by C.S. Friedman first!

Bah! Joe Abercrombie was robbed! Edit: D'oh! He wasn't even nominated. Still, he must have been robbed!

On the subject of horrible mispronunciations...I was working in a book store many years ago when a couple of elementary school aged kids asked me if we had in stock the pissy-onics handbook. Luckily, being the D&D player that I am, I knew what they were talking about. After gently correcting...

Thank you. That is exactly the point I was trying to make. Let alone the fact that Paul Kemp and WOTC have used the term Justicar extensively. It sounds much more masculine and authoritative than Justicier. Though it may be missing a WHOLE syllable, I'll keep using the term that sounds better.

Regardless of which is the "official" spelling, I'll continue to use Justicar. It just sounds better. Besides, the term Justicar is used throughout D&D books and literature. Here is a quote from Waterdeep: City of Splendors: ...the ranks of Waterdeep's magisters count many justicars of Tyr...
