The Something Positive webcomic has two comics leading up to the annual Halloween gaming session. Find it here: S*P and Other Comics WARNING: While these two comics are safe for work, some of the other comics in the archives might not be, and some of the jokes in other comics are in...

This show seems to take things a little more seriously. You don't have the same plot of -- 1) land on amazingly Earth-like planet, 2) meet humans who speak fluent English, 3) triumph over challenge of the week. Makes me wonder if they are going to ret-con or explain some of the earlier...

So, this is the real point of this thread, since your premise states you are already rich. You're asking the question, "What will D&D look like in 30+ years?" Then you're adding the twist that the current gaming environment does not exist -- no CCGs, no sophisticated video games, no plethora...

Interestingly, most of that would actually not lead to an immediate revolution in technique or technology. The manufacturing going into an iPod took decades of evolution. The technology simply doesn't exist to duplicate it in the 1970s. The basic principles behind what it does were known, but...

Not a new mechanic for psionics, I hope... I thought that was basically treated as just powers with the psychic damage type? If defiling and psionics both aren't the new mechanic...maybe something to do with elemental clerics? Maybe a fame system for gladiators that grants new abilities...

Look at the Wikipedia entry Mortification of the flesh.

Aglet, god of difficult to remember names for household items. Mother Forker, goddess of lame psuedo-profanity. Solo Striker, god of poorly chosen euphemisms. Keanu, god of whoa... Sawdust Butane, god of McNugget ingrediants. MacYinPedroStein, god of offensive ethnic stereotypes.

The Lucian Alliance hates Earth...they feel like they were setup in the battle vs. the Ori, and SG-1 has screwed up their plans more than once. They probably figured that an ancient base had to have something worthwhile. (Strange that the Hammond didn't blow them into smithereens with...

This was the best pun ever...

The word "assassin" is usually somewhat prejudiced in usage, mostly because a) assassination tends to violate the pop-cultural concepts of chivalry and the warrior code, and b) in modern times, we mostly hear it in conjunction with things that are considered horrible crimes. In truth, the D&D...

Roy seems to be proven justified that he's better able to keep Belkar's kilonazi count down. Since he joined with Roy, Belkar has: 1) Learned to act in a more acceptable fashion due to his vision quest. 2) Acquired a companion about whom he seems to have actual feelings (the cat). 3) Been...

I find it hard to understand the motivation for helping out a lone guardian in an empty city. The first question about Argent that came to mind is, "Dude, why are you still HERE?" If it was really so important a bastion, then why is it mostly abandoned? In general, I don't like the 4E...

Human psychology is a lot more complicated than we give it credit. We all discriminate, we all pre-judge and make snap judgements, and we all underestimate how much sexuality influences our behavior. What matters is how we choose to deal with these feelings, how much empathy we show other...

Psh, given how hard it is for some folks to admit a mistake, doing so in the main forum is pretty admirable. I also agree that if he hadn't posted the product info, somebody would have asked. Just as long as we don't get a rash of product announcements in the form of confessionals. "I forgot...

As a U.S. citizen, I think part of the reason that languages are hand-waved is because linguistic flexibility is uncommon in this country, and this is where D&D is based for all intents and purposes. For most folks, learning a new language is an unnecessary chore. Many folks haven't had the...

I post, therefore I am...and, quid pro quo prove that the thread MUST exist. Those who dispute my existence are obviously imaginary, and should try being more positive.

Awesome Show This show clicked for me from day one. I don't understand why the chemistry between the leads isn't apparent to everybody. I thought the leads perfectly captured the roles of "detail-oriented control freak" and "laid-back, intuitive guy." Of course they annoy each other at first...

Your father is dead, and you have inherited the throne...along with the scepter that allows you to control gold dragons! With youthful abandon, you declare everybody in the kingdom to be equal... Nah...stupid plot idea...

I'm a transplant in Avon, OH (about 30 min. west of Cleveland). Used to have a gaming group in Northern VA. Here is my ideal: Group of mature late-20s to early-40s gamers. Non-smoking. Meets once or twice a month. Just to get this out of the way: I am a moderate liberal and have a...

Well, I'm too literal a person to take this in the wish fulfillment sense it was intended. Assume, for the sake of argument, that your portal doesn't drop you in the middle of some awful ice or desert scape, or in the middle of a wild jungle filled with dinosaurs, etc. Let's say it drops you...
