The Chase. The Doctor's TARDIS appears ever so briefly in the Empire State building to the (non) companion Stephen Taylor, I think. I have seen it but it has been a while. edg

I liked it! The best line was Doyle looking and around and then saying, "Damn, Jack." Very cool. edg

spoilers! Great show! I loved it! And, while it is too bad Martha gets kinda snubbed with the comparison, I thought it fit with what we have seen. I loved how they did Shakespeare! I also loved the Harry Potter stuff! Funny! Take care. edg

I could be wrong but I think that was the point. The Prez thought that if it wasn't him, it would be the VP who was remembered for being tough. It's a big symbol, who gave the order. I read this but haven't said anything before. I still like 24. Yes, most things aren't portrayed very...

Loved it. LOVED it. LOVED IT! The next week is too far away. *sigh* Have a good one! Take care! edg

I have time for both! And after having used the DND system for over 20 years, I know it well enough to know where it shines and where it doesn't work for me. :D Have a good one. Take care. edg

First off, I am not bashing people who like DND/d20/SWd20 or any role playing game. I like role playing games a lot and am glad to share things with others who enjoy it as well. Obviously, I have a problem with hit points. And AC and other aspects of d20. Some people don't, in fact most...

Ugh. UGH. UGH! I have said it before, and I will say it again. Hit points are a lousy thing. They were conceived from war gaming, which used them as an abstraction for a unit but are now applied to an individual. And, don't get me wrong, for most d20 players, they work. That's great! I...

GH with some FR At the time, I really didn't like Greyhawk. And, I have really only come to understand why in recent years. I was around 8 years old when I started playing DND and 12 years when I started DMing. Reading through Greyhawk, at the time, was very tough to read. I didn't...

Application with editable parameters, in XML or text or something similar. I want an application because I think they look better. Further, I would like to be able to edit what the program uses as its input to suit my tastes better. That's just me. edg

The best slave race is the one that doesn't know it is a slave race. Barring that, having competitions among the slave groups, and giving the winners more benefits and "freedoms" than the other might help them forget their lot in life. Then, they focus more on the next competition than...

My wife and I just finished watching the unaired episodes this week. All of them this weekend. WOW! And then we get pissed at TV execs who don't keep quality show like this on the air. It was smart, well acted, well thought out and well done. And, like others said, left us with enough...

:) Have you tried? I know, I know, it's tough and you don't want to lose the group or cause bad vibes in the group. I had a group of very dedicated DND players who didn't want to do something new. After half of the first Alternity campaign, I sold them on it! Now, they can't imagine going...

I use Alternity for my current campaign and it is working out great! I can't say that enough. We are all having so much fun with it! Good luck in whatever you do! Have a good one! Take care! edg

And maybe the idea is that I won't be "competing" with anyone on what the world is anymore. It's mine and only mine. I can still find ideas for it on the web but I won't have to worry about anything shiny and new from a publisher. I also agree that getting motivation on the major players...

And I agree. However, wouldn't that be shooting themselves in the foot, if they want to be profitable? I mean, I don't begrudge them the need to make money. Unless they make it a huge planet, won't they eventually run out of places to detail? Or is that the point? :) I think what...

That's cool. I haven't read much of Eberron but have to admit that some things about it sound interesting. Have a good one! Take care! edg

I agree that different teams do different things. If they just shared that, anyone picking it up would have to follow their outlines, because it is known. So, that is a big bother. At the same time, though, FR has been out twenty years now. So, I do like the fact that rulers and people...

It's funny. I think you guys have convinced me against metaplots, unless the writers/designers are willing to state it all up front, with no ambiguity. I do agree, it is *extremely* annoying when you have to read *every* book to get a sense of what is happening in the world. Again, we all...

I am really torn on the issue of metaplots. I love FR but I finally figured out the need to follow "canon" for me. The maps. I love the maps but the maps always reflect what is happening with the metaplot and the designers ideas of the world. To use 3.xE FR, is to accept what they have done...
