It looked like Sylar got a sword through the gut, not the heart.

Ditto. :) I always get a little rush whenever I get a chance to use a new monster. It's always nice to hear "Aw, what the hell is that?" coming from the other side of the table.

QFT. I will say that the Epic Monsters in the ELH are actually pretty flavorful (not counting a few...) and cool. Some are just big, cool campaign hooks waiting to happen.

I've been slowly working my way through the book so far. First impressions: 1) The Chapter on the Vault is goodsauce. Lots of flavor and plot hooks. Probably my favorite section so far. 2) The 'All About the Drow' section is very good too, though there is a lot of info to digest. I too would...

Bo9S is pretty cool. Warblades seem pretty capable if using the right maneuver combos, but then my party wasted an enemy warblade after he dealt a buttload damage basically blowing his maneuver wad. The party fighter dealt near that same amount of damage back... using Power Attack. :confused...

There's one little thing that I haven't seen mentioned... Watch out if you use Enemies with Psion levels. They have the ability to put the serious hurt on a party since they don't have to worry about more encounters (unless you want them to...), they can blow their wad at once and unleash...

I try... sometimes :)

MMORPG's have plot/story, I don't know where you'd get the idea that they don't. He lost his sense of wonder.

I've realized that the book is a hodge-podge of cool ideas executed horribly, really stupid ideas, and converted creatures converted, well, averagely. Fiend Folio is so much better it's not even funny, even if a lot of the fiends still need the 3.5 makeover. Although, if WotC decided to...

You're missing out, MMII was, IMO, pretty damn weak by WotC standards, plus there are loads of cool 3rd party monster books out there too! I wouldn't judge an entire line on one crummy book.

Uhhh.... A CR 9721? When the hell would anyone ever get a chance to use that?

There's this thing called email, I hear it's pretty cool (Mearls also mentioned they get a lot of feedback via email).

Just picked this up and NIN's "Year Zero." "Snakes and Arrows" is good stuff, haven't listened to "Year Zero" yet. Next Tuesday I'll prolly pick up Megadeth's "United Abominations." Fan reactions seem mixed, but critics seem pleased. I'll find out if it's any good. I'll also be watching out...

Yeah, the Shapeshifting variant rocks. I'm thinking of making it mandatory for any druids in my games, because Wild Shape is such a big headache at times...

Never gone to a movie alone and I don't really want to. Movies are a sorta social experience where I can hang out with friends on non-D&D nights (or with friends that don't play D&D), get a beer and some food afterwards, and talk about the movie. If it's something I really wanna see... then I...

1. Fiendish Codex I - And absolutely awesome resource for the demon-heavy campaigns that I run. Great monsters, great flavor, awesome all around. 2. PHBII - Best. Crunch Book. Evar. Gives a much needed boost to high level fighters, retraining is pretty cool too 3. Lords of Madness - Excellent...

I wonder if he did that on purpose. :D

I'm talking more about the generic sci-fi threats like black holes and such actually. Though YMMV obviously, I just think the completely unspacelike nature of SJ is part of its charm I suppose.

Any new Monsternomicon is good Monsternomicon! :D

I'm going to defend SJ here for a minute, bear with me... That kinda defeats the purpose of SJ, turning it from a wacky, wahoo style game into, well, pretty much any generic Sci-Fi game. The 'appeal' of SJ, as I see it, is with how incredibly strange it is and how it takes time-honored concepts...
