The "Online Pass" stuff is just a couple bits of DLC that are by no means mandatory to enjoy the game. There's some Mass Effect themed armor, a couple faction quests, and some other misc. items but nothing that would bar someone from enjoying the game. STILL...it sucks that the person that...

My buddy Hank (Yellow Lab) is almost eight and we try to manage his inhalation of food (the only description appropo for the way he eats...). He's a big guy at 98lbs (not overweight) and still pretty active so we feed him a potato+fish food since the protein is easier on him and the potato...

I don't think the Skyrim effect will be too detrimental. If it had released in the same month or even with some new DLC it could be shakey, but Skyrim launched three months ago and most people looking to buy new releases will already be looking for "somethin' new" anyway. I replayed the demo...

I think it'd be a pretty decent idea to combine social networking concepts with game networks. Allow people to share a number of the games they own with people on their friends lists for example. Tag a few games as sharable and then you can "lend" it to your pal for a while. I'd even be in...

I think part of the issue of digital rights management is trying to tag anyone with purchases they've made. The easier it is to transfer those digital goods, the easier it is to hack. And transfering AutoCAD, Copy Machine or Adobe In-Design licenses is easier because...they have rediculous...

I think this side-track of the evils of the video game industry and market analysis has trampled this poor thread ;-) I think everyone has valid points, and we all get cookies -or- ham. I am going to step aside and attempt to steer this puppy back onto the rails. Anyone else played...

Dark Heresy & Rogue Trader have plenty of room for site based (ie. dungeon) adventures. All while suffering through the bloodiest regime in human history and hearing only the laughter of thirsting gods...you know...light hearted stuff :-) Shadowrun...isn't my personal fav, but it's basically...

The days of physical media games are coming to a close. As much as I hate to see it happen, in another 6-10 years we'll either be downloading directly or streaming from dedicated servers. My two year old son will point and laugh at me when he's 12 and hears stories about how I used to go to a...

I played the demo and it felt like a demo. I am saving any concrete opinions for the actual release, but it seems like it could be a decent single player wow-clone to me. I do like the art style, but the interface didnt feel very polished on the demo. The whole "used game players cost us...

The Earth Awakens looks awesome as is in b/w

Dragonis111 perhaps you were hoping for a more "comprehensive" code of knighthood akin to the Knights of Solamnia? If so, I'd suggest picking an Order that has some of the mechanical options you like. Then flesh out the flavour aspects with your GM/Group. You really don't need a level...

+1 for restricting splat books. You have to trim the fat in ANY game otherwise it gets too unweildy. If you play with the same people week in and week out then just sit down for a few minutes one day and go through which books/cards you guys find essential and which ones can be left out. If you...

I suppose if these kinds of [Self Sensored] posts replace edition warring, then all is well in imagination land. *shakes head and wanders off for cheetos*

As I have grown into my beard I have come to the conclusion that "I just love games." Roleplaying games, board games, war games, strategy games, card games, video games, mind games, hunger games...you name it. I owe some of my current mode of thinking to the emergence of 4E. When it released...

"He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the Holy Grail in the Castle of Aaargh" Depending upon the most recent inhabitants of the dungeon: Actual Dungeon Prisoners - Date ticks, tick tack toe, ticks for lunar phases, long division, epic ballads, detailed treasure maps, bad poetry...

I have read through the first installment myself, and Shane's 5-star review is spot on. The only divergence I have in Mr. O'Conner's review is that "railroading" is actually logically defensible in an Evil campaign and didn't detract from my opinion of it. Afterall, the "patron" of the player...

The magic change is a bit more significant than just going from magic points to a power pool system. They fundamentally changed the way magic worked in 2nd edition to coincide with the changes that occured in the over-arching WFB version of the world (winds of magic, storm of chaos, etc). This...

I geek out on the settings I run to the point that I almost always have a response for how something affects the senses (look, smell, taste, sound, touch), who the movers and shakers are in the nearby world, and I like to paint a picture of events happening in the setting around the players so...

To the OP, I doubt that you have been afflicted with Grognardia Hysterolytica. I think a more logical impotus for your Stage 3 Nostalgis Wantagetis is likely a seasonal thing much like hay fever. There is something about the holidays, crummy weather, fading daylight and falling leaves. In...

If we could bridge the gap in distance through space-magic we could just fire garbage at that planet and watch it get mooshed into super-awesome-paste in the 29,500ish times more powerful gravitational acceleration. It'd be like a giant crap compactor. We'd finally have a place to put all that...
