    Is the Geas spell good for the game?

    I've always seen it as a plot device, not a spell for players (or a hammer for the DM). A Geas spell can explain why a Dragon has to guard a particular treasure or why the "Knight Protector of the Kingdom" has suddenly started serving the BBEG. If cast on a PC then it should be used for a...

    World of Warcraft is up and running!

    I played for at least 5 hrs today (installed it at 3, played until 9). The servers started to lag bigtime so I logged off. Though I'm not a big fan of online RPGs I do enjoy this one. Hopefully with Winter Break around the corner I'll have time to realy play the game.

    It looks OK. But like many comic book movies it wont be great (Hopefully it wont be as bad as the Hulk or the last few Batman movies). I'll end up seeing it, but mostly because a few of my friends ar big comic book guys.
