I just saw Thor with my family and we all loved it. My only criticism, however, had to be Ray Stevenson. He is normally a pretty good actor, but I thought his performance in this movie was terrible. Chris Hemsworth was great. I was not disappointed and I normally am pretty critical of movies...

I was in the beta for a few months and I decided not to purchase the game. I had some serious reservations about how they structured the power system and the costume limitations were pretty inexcusable considering what you can do with Champions Online. Gameplay was fun for a while, but grew...

I'm not sure we can trust reviews from corporate owned websites and magazines any more. I'll stick with user and independent reviews.

Ah, thanks.

That's weird, my avatar picture didn't change. If you click on it, though, you'll see the picture I'm asking about.

I've uploaded a superhero picture as my profile picture. Does anyone know where this image comes from? I have saved on my hard drive multiple images in this "Crusader" line and I have no idea where they came from. Thanks.

Me too! I remember it fondly. In fact, I read this, then the Amber series, then the Riverworld series. Those three series really shaped my idea of fantasy for many, many years.

Human only. Sorry. You do get a dwarven companion early in the game.

When I play a CRPG, I want the nitty gritty details. I want to micromanage my party. If I could, I'd want to be able to decide what color underwear they are wearing. DA 2 has taken that away from me. Some people may enjoy the new stream-lined combat, with the smaller battle areas, but I do...

I am shockingly disappointed and I think Bioware made a big mistake. All the things that I loved about DA:O have been removed. No longer do you have to worry about managing your inventory, because it's been stripped down to almost nothing. Nor do you have to worry about equiping your...

I'm finishing up The Heroes by Abercrombie and getting ready to dive into Blood Meridian and Let The Right One In.

It's been a while since I read the first book, but I remember thinking that the plot lost momentum when Kvothe became obsessed with the woman, whatever her name was. Like many other male authors (Eddings and Jordan, I'm looking at you), this author simply cannot write a believable female...

Pendragon's Grand Campaign run by Greg Stafford! I would give my left...whatever.

Wonderful suggestions. I especially like the Baba Yaga and Tin Woodsman ideas. Beast is also intriguing. Thanks again!

Great suggestions, guys. Thanks. I love the Merlin idea and I'm not sure why I didn't think of that one. I was more focused on the knights and how I could use them. Robin Hood is another great idea. Garrowolf, I love your suggestion. Thanks. How about a female protagonist from...

I remember with some regret that I used to make fun of the kids who played D&D back in middle school (late'70s). I hung around with some kids who were a bad influence and, while secretly yearning to play myself, I didn't have the willpower or self-confidence to oppose them. It wasn't until I...

I've been thinking lately of starting an M&M campaign using heroes plucked from literature and history. I'd really like them to have something about them that makes them somewhat "super" in a modern 4-color comic sense. I've been able to think of a few and I'll list them as examples of what...

Will Zeitgeist be available as a printed product, or only as a pdf?

That's certainly a fantastic dream, but it may be fun to "cast" the movie. Any ideas?

I'm trying to finish up Twelve, by Jasper Kent. It's a story of vampires defending Russia from Napoleon's invasion. It's very interesting, but the writing is so dry that I'm finding it a chore to finish. I've got Sanderson's latest WoT book winging toward me via mail, so I'll drop everything...
