Went to press around the 5th, so maybe by the end of the month, dude. I'm looking forward to it too.

I play Dungeons and Dragons.

Voted Doom 3 for creepiness, due to the superior lighting effects. But I prefer HL2 overall. Creepiest game I ever played was System Shock 2.

Ditto. I would gladly pay a little extra for decent, pre-painted plastic minis that were non-random.

You might want to check out Campaign Cartographer with the Character Artist add-on. There's a bit of a learning curve, but I was using it to churn out my own counters before I started collecting minis.

I'm not really sold on the spellpoints idea. Many seem to like the concept, but I'd like to try a skill-based magic system, similar to Blue Rose. Come to think of it, I'm annoyed by any power or ability that you can only activate "x times per day". Its a lousy way to balance things. Not to...

Just want to take the opportunity to mention errata for C&C. The PHB is loaded with spelling errors; did anybody hit the spellcheck button before sending it off to print? Also, I couldn't seem to find the ENC capacity of the various containers. Was a column left out of the equipment chart? As...

Hmmm. Guess I'll just walk in and pick up C&C then. I guess I won't mind paying full price for Blue Rose when it does hit the store. Support your FLGS, all that.

I'd be all for consolidating gnomes and halflings into a single race, only if I was running a campaign in which I greatly reduced the number of humanoid races across the board. I wouldn't mind doing this, since I'm finding it increasingly hard to believe that a world, even one the size of our...

According to Green Ronin, Blue Rose is at the printers. Anyone have a guesstimate as to when I can walk into my FLGS to pick it up? I have a nice fat coupon burning a hole in my pocket: 30% off any non-wotc d20 product. Expires Jan 31st.

This is an excellent idea. Do it. I use a binder myself, and it's a lifesaver. You are more ambitious in the # of tabs than I was, so your list sounds good to me. I only have 4 tabs myself: People Places Events Rules I keep college-ruled loose-leaf paper before the tabs for scrap...

I agree. I'd like to see a CGI animated series, similar to that D&D DVD that came out a couple years ago, albeit with slightly better quality. Obviously , live-action would be too expensive and the sets would look cheap. As for straight hand-drawn animation, I'm not really a fan of it...

my wishlist 1.Consolidation of skills. Many have mentioned it, and I agree. Blue Rose is actually doing this already (perception skill is listen + spot , I assume) Listen + Spot + search + sense motive = perception? Roll knowledge arcana into spellcraft (good one, steve). As for concentration...

Ooh, ooh, I've got one. In the game I was running, the dual-wielding wizard/ranger cast True Strike on his longsword. Next turn, he steps up, longsword and short sword in hand. He grabs a pair of d20s. I said, "don't roll a one". He rolled snake-eyes. Hilarity ensued.

Your head a-sploded. My condolences. You must make up for it next week with a nice TPK. Mmm, mmm.

Thats not the impression I got at all. PJ mentions D&D in the context of the movie heading more into the realm of the 'fantastic' at that point, meaning that the path of the dead sequence was more 'high fantasy' than in previous set pieces of the films (please, no debates on high/low fantasy...

Others here have already replied to you, but to clarify, I don't listen to the commentaries on the first viewing. After that, however, I'll listen to the commentaries on subsequent viewings. My favorite is always the cast commentary - it's LOL hilarious at times esp. when Billy Boyd and...

Nope, it hasn't, and your right, he does. Its official: PJ has outted himself. This is a great day! Geek Power. :cool:

Walk away. Take a break from it all for a few weeks. Or months. Find something new to do. Join a gym. Exercise does wonders for depression. If you still want to game, have someone else DM. For me, nothing recharges my batteries better than watching someone else Dm, especially if they suck.

The Fields of Blood mass combat is pretty nice, but you will have to make your units from scratch, which can be a chore. There's a FoB yahoo group: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Fields_of_Blood/ They might be able to hook you up with some spreadsheets, etc. Don't bother with the realms...
