I've got to say, they looked a lot better in action than the promotional stills I saw a while back did. Not sold on the Smashing Pumpkins soundtrack, either, but that's a minor quibble. It looks pretty good!

It really makes absolutely no sense. It's not like they didn't realize how popular it was, or how valuable the franchise is. they're still putting out Avatar toys/lunchboxes/coloring books, etc. They've got a movie coming out, helmed by a big-name director, with options for two sequels. You'd...

I wonder if this was going to be an episode of Origins, maybe the first, and rather than scrap it when Origins got cancelled, they just made it into a “webisode”? I confess, I thought it was a joke, at first. “Going Postal”, the story of The Deadly Mailman? Sounded kind of suspect, but it...

A lot of the responsibility for making the awkward-player-charming-character work can fall on the rest of the party, too. When the charmer says something that was INTENDED to be inspiring, but falls flat, the other players can pick up where the charmer left off. "Jozan's right. We CAN beat...

That's more what I was thinking, too. And, just because WE know that Belkar has a curse, not a disease, doesn't mean that anyone else in the town will. There will be a plague scare, of some description.

...I didn't even NOTICE the lack of dialogue until someone else pointed it out. It was THAT good.

The lesson I took away from Wall*E was that you can never, ever trust an AI with a single, glowing red eye. Ever.

If nothing else, "I'm a monster...RAWR!" has earned its' rightful place in the gamer's lexicon. It's this edition's "I'm attacking the darkness". *EDIT* Oh, and that embedded media trick is pretty nifty, too.

Speaking as a customer, and not a store owner, you may be looking at the situation backwards, Gamersgambit. The gaming space you provide, the demos you run, the shelf layout that showcases cool stuff better than the Big Box stores do...that's the stuff that keeps your customers coming to you in...

Everything looks great! Congrats on getting it up and running so quick! One minor thing, and it may be related to my personal settings, but I'm getting some really wierd default text sizes. Like, the notice at the top of the page I'm on now, saying "Welcome back to ENWorld..." is in about 18...

I'm coming to this conversation a bit late, I know, but the OP's opinion is very similar to mine...it feels like significant chunks of what I consider "D&D" are missing from 4E, and it feels like they're being dangled in front of us in an attempt to get more of us to buy PHB2. But, as I think...

Apaprently, there was an article in Nickelodeon Magazine about Avatar, and they said that the remaining episodes were going to be shown, back-to-back, one-a-night, starting on July 14th, and ending with a 2-hour series finale on Saturday, July 19. I don't have a link to the actual magazine...

I doubt anyone will entirely self-identify with what he's saying, considering the exaggerations for satire's sake. I am in the camp that's been saying "4E has no druids, or illusionists, or bards...it's incomplete!", but looking at it from this point of view helps put it all in perspective...

There's an article in Wired Magazine's online alt.text column talking about D&D. The article starts off pointing out how comparisons can be made between D&D and Cooking; both pastimes contain voluminous books that contain complex formulas to follow, be they recipes for Flan, or a Task...

I'm a little disappointed that the process for making a minion version of a monster isn't spelled out clearer. Is the intent that we're only going to use the minions they've already spelled out in the MM? Probably fits with the overall vision of 4e, but I don't really like it. I suspect...

I haven't got my books, yet (GOSH DARN YOU TO HECK, AMAZON.COM!), but I expect I'll be in the same boat you're in. I like to improvise stuff on the fly, and I use the existing stats to riff of of. If monsters in 4E are tailor made with just enough stats for specific encounters, they won't...

As an interesting side-note...I had resolved to cancel my Amazon order and get it from Buy.com, as some other people here had done. They offer it for the same discounted price. BUT Buy.com is sold out of the gift set, as of about an hour ago. :D I guess it's fair to say that sales of...

I put my order in in March, had a delivery date of June 10th all along, until today, when I logged in and saw they had bumped me up to July 14th. i sent the obligatory e-mail. My response was a lot less conciliatory than a lot of the responses you all have gotten. In a nutshell, their...

Agreeing with this, but with one nit-pick: they've recognized that the class/race needs of the monsters are DIFFERENT than that of the PCs, in order to make the game run easier. 3.X had the race/class for monsters thing, but it was the exact same class structure as the PCs had, which caused...

All we've really seen is that there is a "disenchant" ritual, that gives you something called "residuum"...and I suspect that's about as detailed as they're going to get with it, fluff-wise. There's no reason you couldn't take the "residuum", and call it "spirit blessings", or whatever was more...
