I quite liked it. I think that some judicious editing could make it much better though - particularly the grade school dialogue from B4 early on in the film: "Why does the man have a fuzzy face?" Did he really say that? My god... :rolleyes: Great battle scene. In all though its still had a...

I have considered it and quite like the scenario. ;) If a charater is criticalled by a raging orc barbarian wielding a greataxe then IMO there should be a real chance of dying! As an old school gamer of countless systems, I never fully accepted hitpoints. And systems like grim & gritty are too...

You seem to have missed my disclaimer about it being good for a low magic setting.

Currently under consideration in my campaign setting: Note that this lends itself way more to a gritty campaign setting rather than a super duper heroic one. I've always found the 50 damage thing silly. This is also a low magic setting so if you're struck for 30 points of damage by a fireball...

Well thats a promising development. I watched it faithfully for a while but just couldn't justify it anymore. The rednecks-in-space annoyance factor was overwhelming. I guess we'll see what happens.

I hate to say it but I don't think its worth saving. I was looking forward to Firefly for months and months, anticipating a gritty sci-fi show with some interesting, dark angel-escque storylines. Instead, I got a bunch of hicks in space speaking hick-speak. Living in Calgary, I can step onto...

Excuse the tangent, but if there's a new Buffy episode on Dec 17th does that mean that we'll also see a new Angel episode? Or is that still not going to happen until the new year? Cheers.

Up until recently, I was a big supporter of the paladin as a core class but I've recently done a 180 and moved into the paladin-as-PrC camp. I like the idea of the church choosing warriors of high standing as elite soldiers of the church, that are then blessed by their god to better serve the...

Personally, I was dissapointed. After the dark and epic year's end episode of Angel, I found this episode of Buffy to be really campy and fromage. The acting was weak, the special effetcs were weak, and the whole things just felt.. well, I dunno.. weak. That whole scene with the Watchers at the...

Yet another reason to throw out Detect Evil as so much trash.

Indeed. Thanks for the info.

Re: paper size Good question. Which apparently doesn't have ny straight answers. Oh well.. :)

I was looking at my vast collection of magazine-format, perfect bound and hardback d20 products and I noticed that even among those, there isn't a page size standard. But one certainty is that none of them are using 8.5 x 11. Is there an actual standard? And why isn't it standard page size...

Can someone explain the whole Giles thing to me? I missed an episode or two this season so I have no idea who his friend was or who the ninja guys were. Thanks.

I'm about 20 pages away from the end of Dan Abett's Eisenhorn trilogy and I've quite enjoyed it. Its not masterful literature or anything but I've become genuinely attached to certain characters, and saddened by the sheer brutality of events throughtout the course of the books. All in all...

B5 was a brilliant show, unappreciated by those without the attention span to see a long story arc through to the end. It far exceeds any Star Trek series by leaps and bounds, with the exception of TOS.

He should have left out the bit with the other Bagginses. It was pointless, added nothing, and just made me scratch my head in confusion. Other than that, top notch.

I have really realliked liked Wes through his transition from good guy to bad guy to bad good guy. I found the scene with the guns to be quite profound, since no goods guys on buffy or angel have ever used them before. It imparted a real mood of desperation. Fine fine stuff. But I found Cordie's...

Wow that does sound really ridiculous!!! I guess I wouldn't be so sad if the battletech universe wasn't so great. Of all the settings I ever played in, I found it to be one of the richest, most intriguing places to adventure, and even though I stopped reading the novels, I took some comfort in...

Two different companies doing two different timelines of the same setting?? Now thats just weird! No wonder I was confused... :eek:
