Every so often, the now 20+ year old massive debunking of the absolute lies spread by Patricia Pulling, lies that continue to appear today at random, must be aired once again. Patricia Pulling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Michael A. Stackpole: The Pulling Report Game Hysteria and the...

I am not clear about why you need new planes. Based on what I have read so far, The Wheel covers what you need. -------------------------- The issue is always going to be that "true neutrality" (or "balance", really) is never going to fit into the other concepts. It will always need to go...

I won't be going into this movie expecting a literary triumph. I did like the trailer, though as always, the movie may be quite something else. Here's to hoping the movie is great.

When asked to pick three at any one time, my answer may be different. At the moment, it's: 1 -- The Matrix 2 -- Star Wars 3 -- Dark City

I am strongly irritated by most English errors. However, I am strongly inclined to make odd slips resulting in typographical errors, especially by adding or omitting suffixes inappropriately, or repeating words, and so am guilty mysef. I always preview my posts and things still slip through...

I say no. Looks aren't everything. Once you start watching Thundercats, it screams USA-cartoon. Only in that He-Man wasn't anime at all. He-Man doesn't just scream USA-cartoon, it thunders it. ;)

My issue was the reverse. Yesterday, I noticed I had a group invitation pending. It was my first group invite here on EnWorld. I studied the invitation carefully, searching for the link or button to accept the invite. Nothing was there. I clicked through to the group, but did not see...

At least anecdotally, I can so confirm this. I ran my most extensively developed milieu where the players couldn't remember most of the names and places, even though they had a bound hand-out with all of it. Believe me, it was quite a deflation for my ego. Years after that, I ran in an...

They may have been hired to design and implement the animation, but they did not produce it, not was it ever considered a Japanese origin title. There is also another term floating around now, Manwha: Manhwa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Korea, this word pretty much means comic, like...

Anime is, effectively, the Japanese word for cartoon. In that sense, Thudercats is anime. If you are specifically talking about Japanese Anime, then no, it's not. Since anime is a Japanese word, my personal preference is to use it on media from Japan. I would call Thundercats a cartoon...

My off the cuff opinions are: Resilient Sphere :: d20srd.org This spell appears to be targeted to me, so no. Forcecage :: d20srd.org This spell does not appear to be targeted, so yes.

I will not pit a husband and wife against each other. No graphic descriptions of sex. No graphic descriptions of torture. I strongly dislike taking over player characters due to whatever game mechanics might apply, and avoid it like the plague. That was more than one thing; oh well.

I am interested in reading the original conversations. Are links to them available?

The number one thing about DMing is... <drum roll> There is no substitute for experience. You can observe DMs in play, read all the articles, and talk it over with friends, but nothing makes up for actually getting in there and DMing.

I do. The author of the linked material wants people to accept arbitrariness based upon the hope that it will be justly applied. That is ridiculous. There is no such thing. Game rules exist to help prevent this situation. Not if I am expected to accept continuing arbitrariness that is almost...

Attempting to frame the discussion as one of trust for the GM is incorrect. When players have to "trust" the GM, this is really saying that players have to accept negative rulings based solely on an arbitrary GM decision, especially when it might not make any sense, and when it is almost...

When I started reading the first "zen moment" I experienced a zen moment of my own. The author basically lives in a different universe than I. I found something to object to in almost every sentence. The only thing about common sense is that it isn't. The GM will make a call, and if it isn't...

Pathfinder. If I liked anything from 3.x and before that isn't in Pathfinder, I use it. I often tend to view 3.x as almost compatible with Pathfinder (hey, that's just my opinion), so conversion efforts on my part are minimal. I just wing it when using monsters, etc., from 3.x or even AD&D...

Class, Prestige Class, and Feat Splat: This is a system pet peeve. I absolutely despise an endless procession of new classes, new prestige classes, and new feats. This dislike arises form the almost inevitable way in which these new elements become more and more powerful than in the past...
