    [Points of Light Setting] The Residuum Must Flow (updated 6/24)

    Something I think would be very neat is a sort of corruption, or at least alteration, resulting from residuum exposure (a la the Mentat in Dune), in the long run. This would be interesting as it could have it that very high-level wizards are somehow not right. Even mundane members of the...

    Questions on Creature Creation

    Here, I've attempted a conversion of the Athach to get myself used to creature creation. Do Initiative, AC, Fort/Ref/Will get modified according to ability? Maybe I'm stuck in 3.5. I can't find the place in the book where it addresses this. Athach Level 14 Brute Huge natural humanoid...

    Iron Man

    Plus, when they do the alcoholic Stark storyline, they couldn't have picked anyone better than Robert Downey. How many times has he been in jail?

    Monster Hit Points (Brute, Artillery, etc.)

    Was wondering, based on all the fan-created monster write-ups floating around: has WOTC formally previewed the monster class/HP calculation? Or are people just reverse-engineering them and figuring them out? Either way, can anybody either throw me a link or post the values?

    Gnolls, gnolls, glorious gnolls

    There's where it was! I vaguely remembered hearing that origin for them somewhere, but could never remember where! Now I know! But am left with the question of when I saw Brown Book DnD... how I remember something from books I have never seen. Eerie.

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

    About the Rousseau death thing, kinda supports an idea I had, though. Seems that when someone fullfills their purpose on the island or their main goal (their dharma, coincidentally or not), they die. Usually. Unless they get arrested for DUI. Rousseau's big goal was to get Alex back. She...

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

    We don't know that she didn't. AFAIK they didn't find the pseudo-815 until Michael was working with the Others. BTW, I'm wondering if the point of Nikki and Paulo last season was to get the diamonds to the island, and thus Ben's money to pay off Miles.

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

    Well I'm glad someone else thinks so. I've been saying that for months and my fiancee has been hounding me that nobody else thinks that, it's just me. Now I can say, BAM! Someone else DOES think so.

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

    So we now know that the ghost Miles was speaking with in his flash was Walt. I'm trying to piece together a timeline and figure out if Walt was, therefore, actually dead at the time he appeared to Locke in the ditch. Or was that just another way "the island won't let you kill yourself"? That...

    Lost S04E07 13 Mar 08 - Yi Jeon

    Was thinking about something re: Sun and Jin. Back in S1, Jin had a watch he was keeping for Sun's dad. Given Sun's father's apparent Dharma-ish-ness, and given the time deal on the island, one has to wonder whether that watch had another purpose...

    Lost S04E06 Mar 06 - The Other Woman

    This kinda puzzled me as well. That said, why did Minkowski last ep say that they were told not to answer the calls from Penelope? Unless there's a kind of father-daughter rivalry going on there. Wonder if Ben was sort of telling the truth (the boat IS Widmore's), but at some point the...

    D&D 4E Lost S04E05 28 Feb 2008 - The Constant

    I'm wondering if: the research in the Orchid was along the same lines as Daniel's research at Oxford. Whether maybe even Daniel was a member of Dharma, and at the Orchid station, and just completing its work. If he was on the island, and left before he understood the whole proper...

    Green Fireball

    So, last night I was heading to work (night work is teh suck) when my eye was caught by something bright. I looked up - a greenish fiery thing, looked for all the world like a flare or one of the meteors in the beginning of The Day of the Triffids - came falling down out of the sky. I've been...

    D&D 4E Lost S04E04 21 Feb 08 Eggtown

    Question on the preview for next week: was that future Desmond, with a shaved head and jacking up Faraday? Sounded like him. Apparently Minkowski was a real guy, a mathematician and relativity physicist around the time of Einstein. This article on one of his concepts mentions Faraday.

    D&D 4E Lost S04E04 21 Feb 08 Eggtown

    I just thought about something: remember way back in Claire's first flashback, the psychic told her not to let Aaron be raised by anyone else? Maybe it was just referring to his extremely early time on the island, but... we'll see? Yeah, and what's with the other guy, Minkowski or whatever...

    Lost S3 DVD Extras

    So the menu for the extras is the 6-screen Pearl viewer. Is there any way to access the screens for 1 or 6? Or is it just 2-5 accessible?

    I always wondered, did the comics Turok have anything to do with the console games?

    D&D 4E Lost S04E3 14 Feb 2008 - The Economist

    I agree that Locke is actually looking like a front-runner at this point. Wasn't Locke an accountant at his previous job? (In one of his flashbacks... the first?) Plus, a furthering of the Locke/Ben rivalry would make sense. Now... of the two, who's good and who's not? Reading up, the...
