I have no preference over opt-in and opt-out approaches when it comes to games ("free" trials are another matter). So I wouldn't be bothered if they took an opt-in approach (or whichever it is you've advocated for in recent threads). But I would have a problem if they decided to not bother...

I don't see that at all. I see it as "one-wayism", as in this is one way medusae can be portrayed. They haven't ruled out multiple origin stories in the same monster write-up. They haven't shed light on what will be in the DMG, which could include a section about modifying aspects of the game to...

When my Fighter misses he utters a quick whispered prayer to the god of war, who then sucker punches his opponent, thus causing damage on the Fighter's miss. So we're all good. :D

I may have to pull the Vyv costume I put together out for Halloween this year. Unfortunately I have to go as "House Party Vyv" after he drinks the blue liquid that makes all his hair fall out. :(

Your URL is blocked here at work and I'll forget by the time I get home...so which is Table B?

My wife added a third method, which she uses. She just rolls the die and looks to me to tell her what she rolled. :)

For the first time my answers to the poll questions don't match the majority. Poll Question #5 (re: goblin mounts) had no good answer for me. I chose "should ride normal wolves with more hit points than them." I think the mount should reflect the goblin. Random goblins shouldn't be mounted at...

Bambi was my top pick. It had everything you could ask for in an episode.

I have the "Every Stoopid Episode" DVD set and still occasionally watch it. Vyv's got some of the best lines: "This calls for a very special blend of psychology and extreme violence." Vyvyan: I've been down the morgue! ... I got a leg! Mike: Hey Vyvyan, that's not unusual. Vyvyan: No look...

Yes. Envision the plots of the opposition as the gameboard that the players are trying to maneuver through in place of a location gameboard. Antagonists in a dungeon setting react when the players invade their home, extrapolate that vision to what happens when the players cross paths with their...

I've always done the first. Mainly because I do it so much with dice sizes well beyond a d3. d8/d2[d6] for d16 d12/d2[d6] for d24 d100/2 for d50 etc. It also helps when rolling things like a d6/d10 for a d60.

I've had many complaints over the years about growing up with crappy loser parents. But the one thing I have to thank them for is NOT supporting me. I would've totally been in their basement still if I had loving parents. :P

And Wyatt gets flak for declaring what things are or are not? :hmm:

I disagree. The science he mentions regarding Orc Babies is anthropology and psychology. In other words, standard fanatasy fare is that adventures go kill orcs, because that's what adventurers do. It shouldn't be too shocking to anyone that that is the main meme. It's the thought put towards...

Gamera is really neat. Gamera is filled with meat. We've been eating Gamera! "IT'S KATHY RIGBY!"

Whether extreme or not you're still jumping to conclusions and putting words in the mouth of the author. And he gave many examples from D&D's history of these fluid borders. And the poll questions didn't draw battle lines. I chose "depends on the campaign" each time it was a choice. And I...

I'm failing to see where James Wyatt is saying that Science in a Fantasy game is bad. Or where he says the two shouldn't be mixed. Or where he says that Fantasy is the only "right" way. Or where he's trying to determine *the* answer. Maybe someone who's hackles have been raised can quote the...

An update to my event. I've changed the themed groups as follows: 1) The Asgardians: Beta Ray Bill, Devos the Devastator, Firelord, Stardust, Tana Nile, Thor 2) The Shi’ar: Cerise, Deathbird, Deathcry, Devos the Devastator, Korath the Pursuer, Lilandra Neramani, Monica Rambeau 3) Excalibur...

Buzz, Please sign Laurie and me up for breakfast. Please sign Laurie up for The Laundry in the morning. Please sign both of us up for Supernatural in the afternoon.

My favorite so far was when he ditched the gun Abbie handed him after a single shot.
