    How will GSL noncompetition affect fanworks?

    I thought the 4E "SRD" was going to include basic details, but no specifics. It wouldn't contain a list of Powers, but would rather give the framework that powers were based on; "A power is either daily, per-encounter, or at-will, and falls into one of th following categories: Utility...

    OOTS #549 is Up

    Won't eat babies (veal included), because it makes him "feel funny"? Proposes an unselfish compromise that improves the situation for everyone involved, simply for the benefit of making everyone happy? A Paladin in good standing openly associating with it? The Box Monster is officially...

    New Avatar Episodes Coming April 18th

    I think that Canada is one of those markets that get Avatar episodes early. I'm not sure where I would have heard that, anymore, so I don't know how correct that is. But it's what I'm hoping. The last one that's available in the iTunes store is Black Sun, so maybe they are yet to be shown...

    New Avatar Episodes Coming April 18th

    The Boiling Rock? The last one I saw was Day of Black Sun, and there were supposed to be two episodes in-between Black Sun and Boiling Rock (Western Air Temple and Firebending Masters). They were shown in some markets, but not in mine as far as I know. Did I miss 'em? I'll be sad if I did.

    What are Minions anyway?

    From the Forward of Terry Pratchett's Guards Guards : THAT'S what minions are. If the mechanics behind minions make any kind of sense in the final rules, I'm gonna love 'em.

    Cleave: Give me room to work, my minions!

    It strikes me that the intent of this ability was probably to allow the Fighter to focus on the BBEG, and ignore the minions, while still doing damage to them. The Fighter's attack is best used against the biggest opponent, and the +3 damage from cleave applies to the minion flanking...

    Manual of the Planes, Dec '08

    Keep on the Shadowfell is supposed to be hardcover..but that's a special, preview adventure that has extra content to let you play without having the core books. So the hardcover and higher price is justified. Is this the format they're using for all of their adventure modules; that each one...

    Manual of the Planes, Dec '08

    I think it's been reported elsewhere, but that's the first time I've seen the cover art. (and no, it's not goatse! I know, I killed the joke. I am officially no fun.) Kind of cool that it's a re-working of the 1E Manual of the Planes cover, with the big, smiling...uh...thingy. Astral...

    D&D 4E 4E at the printers...but we don't see it until June?

    Not surprising. My knowledge of the publishing process consists of a vague, "Stuff-happens-somewhere, then a box arrives with my books in it". If those more knowledgeable than I say that 3 months is reasonable, I'll take their word for it. I wondered how much of the timing might have been, as...

    D&D 4E 4E at the printers...but we don't see it until June?

    I'm hoping that someone with more of an insider's view of the publishing world can explain that. In my mind, once the books have been printed you need, maybe, a month to check the first-run proofs for errors, and start shipping to distributors. Why, if the books are going to the printers now...

    Lost S04E08 20 Mar 08 - Meet Kevin Johnson (Spoilers)

    This is my prediction. I suspect we’ll find that the “flashbacks” and “flash-forwards” we’ve seen aren’t narrative devices at all…this is really how time is flowing for the Losties. Desmond is the only one who is aware of it, as yet, but I think others will start to become aware from one...

    Dragon 363 Blurb

    The one thing that's putting me off the electronic format of the magazines more than anything else is how unfocused and cluttered they are. I can't for the life of me tell, when I'm looking at some piece of online content, if I'm supposed to be looking at an article in Dragon or dungeon. Or...

    New Superhero

    My wife was on the computer in the next room over, but wasn't really watching. I don't make a habit of talking to myself...I'm not THAT weird. :lol: Well, OK... I am. But I don't go around admitting it in public. :uhoh: DAMMIT!

    Masters of the Universe

    Owen Wilson, in a muscle suit. Great buddy-movie potential, with Ben Stiller as Orko. ...what?

    New Superhero

    It's only tangentially related, but this reminds me of the Weekend Update sketch they did, I think, last saturday, where they interviewed Rudy Giuliani. They asked him about his campaign and he responded "well...it was kind of like an SNL sketch. It started off great, but it went on too long...

    'Build' Madness.

    I'm guessing that there must be more Rogue powers in the PHB than those listed in the article. With that in mind, I'm guessing that the powers that were listed were picked SPECIFICALLY because they support the build options that the article was meant to highlight. The fact that you seem...

    Free Ebooks from Tor

    I hadn't checked that yet, when I posted, but yeah. That's comforting. Second this. For all my Doom and Gloom posting, I'll be really psyched if this works out, and wouldn't have known about it but for this post. So, Thanks!

    Free Ebooks from Tor

    I just signed up too. Free ebooks just for signing up to a mailing list was too good to pass up, and I've been wanting to check out Mistborn ever since it was announced that the author would be writing the last Wheel of Time book... But now I'm regretting it. There's no connection between...

    Anagram names

    I did an anagram for "Villain's Secret Lair" and got "Satirical sniveller" I'm gonna have to put a bar called The Satirical Sniveller" in my next game. It will, of course, be the hideout of the BBEG.

    Watchmen Storyboards

    I wonder if the panels taken directly from Watchmen that you see attached to the Storyboards are part of the actual storyboards he's distributing to the crew, or if it was an embellishment for posting online? Either way, I think it's a good sign that they're being faithful to the source...
