A thoroughly enjoyable adventure, The Scouring of Gate Pass is well worth any DM's time, either as a stand alone or as the kick off to the War of the Burning Sky Adventure Path/Campaign. What you get:I got the adventure via download off of RPGnow.com. While I expected to find the zip file was...

I'm not sure which label would apply to me. First off, I run Eberron games, so the world, its locals, factions, and history are mostly in place already. Then I pick where the game is going to be centered and how the party is going to be tied together.* Then I put the players down and see what...

I thought this was the best episode front to back yet. The best moment goes to the very ending of the last episode where Echo gives a slight shake of the head to Sierra. They are doing subtle little things like that, the "flocking" at lunch, and how Echo is quietly retaining more and more...

Picked up Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell the other day based on a recommendation on io9.com. I know nothing about it and I'm only about 10 pages in so far, but I like the writing style so far.

Shh, don't spoil previews!! I and many others don't watch them. But, damn the tension is building. Galactica is dying, both races are dying, Roslin is dying...Adama is now drinking, having frequent breakdowns, and even toking it up in the sick bay. When I realized there was only the 3 hour...

Seeing how it is difficult enough to get everyone together for our ongoing campaigns, I doubt I'll have time to play-test WotBS. Would you be against just read-reviews that don't involve play-tests?

Celebrim, I'm having some of my first experience with some of that attitude with one of my younger players. I had mentioned that I was working on treasure for the upcoming adventure and he proceeded to give me a list of what everyone needed. When I said, jokingly, "thanks but you just guaranteed...

I also wondered about the "3 years" issue. Why did both parties deal with three years? Questions: Who was the baby? Or better yet, who will the baby be? There is no such thing as an insignificant birth, especially with a troubled drunk father, on Lost.

Generally, my party doesn't find many giant piles of gold. I build NPCs, give them equipment, and this is the treasure the party finds. I try to keep a rough eye on where they stand versus the "gold per level" recommendations, but I'll often fall behind and try to do a quick "catch up."...

I like the theory that Ben wanted to prevent Locke from making a sacrifice. It fits. But there is another thought... Ben is envious of Locke, who is the new anointed leader and already seems to have a closer relationship with Jacob/Christian than Ben. Ben first tried killing Locke, but that...

Fun episode. This one was actually pretty good TV. It was the equal of the average Heroes episode. Not yet as good as Chuck and can't approach Lost, but still good TV. And from what I hear, Episode 3 was liked by the early screeners even more.

A few thoughts: Someone above mentioned that he suspects that Ben manipulated Kate and Hurley to get on the plane. Yes, he did Kate, but I don't think he did Hurley. Ben was surprised to see Hurley there. Charlie told Hurley where and when to go. And to bring along the guitar. There is now...

I added the Spell Compendium spells a few at a time through long lost tombs and such. I too some time to print them up, using crazy draconic fonts, then made the paper parchment-like by soaking them in coke or coffee and putting them under the broiler. The players loved it and kept a hold of the...

Souls are pulled from the afterlife (maybe unknowingly by the creators) to give life to the warforged. They are made by the church, but are slowly developing their own religion. When there are enough of them, they may try to take over the church and re-purpose it to their new god.

Wow, Grog, you expect a fully fleshed out characterization from a secondary character in the pilot episode? Look at what we thought about kate, or jack, or sawyer on Lost after the first episode...not much to go on. Give them time. The show's premise has potential and I think it may work out ok.

Good episode. Light on the action, but not bad. Likes: * HRG and Claire changing the status quo...and in the process Claire finding out that her parents can't forever take her complaints without some repercussions. * Aquaman isn't annoying! Much better than Claire's last power-boyfriend. *...

Very enjoyable with a great potential for future episodes. Eliza did a solid job, better than I expected frankly. The two great characters are the FBI agent and Echo's handler. A pretty complex concept with muliple levels of issues. Echo is a slave being used for, among other things...

Yep. I like Zedd, he's playing the Obi-Wan if he was a half crazed old man rather than super-wise zen-like master. And Kahlan is stunning.

I'm way behind watching these, I'm using Hulu since I have no idea when I'm going to have time to catch one. I think I'm on Episode 5 now, but I just watched this one earlier this week. Overall impression of the series...a bit uneven and inconsistent, but entertaining. I always enjoyed...

I've not read anyone's comments yet, so forgive me if I repeat something. Overall, good episode. The Claire/HRG/Nathan stuff is the most boring for me, but every time Sylar came on the screen things got great. I loved Hiro being insistent on staying and wanted to get his sword "The hero needs...
