Being of no one with any authority here whatsoever, I do hereby greatly overstep my place and declare August 13 to 19 to be Morrus Appreciation Week. For this week, all dice that Morrus rolls will automatically be treated as if he'd naturally rolled the highest possible result. For this week...

Anyone else having this problem? It's been happening for me all week, usually in the evenings. I come to the messageboards and there's all kind of new messages showing on the forums list, but when I go into one of the forums (usually Meta, since I read the boards from the bottom up), all the...

Bad news for Star Wars fans who were waiting for the DVD release of the non-Special Edition versions of the original trilogy. According to this story the DVDs will be "copied from the laserdiscs of the films released in the mid'90s, formatted for the conventional TV screen and not wide-screen...

Just saw on E! News that Neil Young was treated for a brain aneurysm earlier in the week. Neil's one of my favorites, and I don't wanna see him in Mark's obituary thread any time soon. Here's hoping for a full and speedy recovery.

I only caught the last half of it. It was horrible. Like watching gradeschool children act out a scene from your favorite film. I thought American Coupling was bad, but this was much much much much worse. The only actor who was almost good was the Tim parallel. The Dawn parallel was too...

Dunno if anyone else watched tonight's final episode, but I did and enjoyed it. It was kind of sad. Even though I know the show is past its prime and needs to retire, I'm still gonna miss it. Somehow it was both disappointing and relieving that the final episode was just a normal episode...

I placed an order this morning and less than an hour later I got an e-mail saying it had shipped. Maybe my timing was just lucky, but I have never had an order from anywhere ship that fast before. (Of course now I've gone and jinxed it by speaking up so the post office will probably scan the...

I've written my first review, but it's come out rather long. Three and a half pages at 10 point Arial to be exact. I know I'm a wordy guy, and I've been over the review once trying to cut out unneeded words, but I'm still concerned that it's too long. Aside from my wordiness problem, the...

Anyone else having a problem with this? I'm not getting any images at all in the Player's Handbook style. Default seems to be okay, but Sky seems to have the same problem as Player's Handbook. I know I'm the irksome Opera user, but just to be sure I checked in IE and got the same results...

It seems the server may be confused as to when it is. I'm seeing a date of "05-08-2004" at the top of each forum, and the time displayed at the very bottom of the screen is 2 hours slow. Not sure what possible wonkiness this might cause, but since no one else's posted about it that I've seen...

I got a little holiday cash and have been thinking about using it to do a computer upgrade. Right now the major bottleneck on my self-built machine is the hard drive. It's an IDE, and running at 100 whatevers instead of 133 due to my choice of motherboards. As it stands now if a program does...

Is it just me, or is everything that used to be brown in the Player's Handbook style now white?

I'm having one of those "did I imagine that?" moments in regards to a 3.5 rule about grappling. I clearly remember there being a rule that if you attempt to attack someone who is in a grapple, you have a 50% chance to hit the wrong target in the grapple. Problem is I can't find the rule. It's...

It wasn't like this for me yesterday, but today the PHB style isn't showing new posts in bold text anymore. I haven't changed anything on my end. I really miss the bold text, as it's the easiest way for me to tell if a thread has new posts or not. Doesn't matter to me which one (even the...

None of the stores in Asheville were participating in the official event, so Steve and Jason from my regular D&D group and I rode up I-26 to Mountain Empire Comics in Johnson City, Tennnessee. It was a beautiful drive, although we were about a week early for peak leaf season. We arrived a tad...

Was browsing through the calendars section at Books-A-Million tonight when I stumbled across a 2005 D&D calendar. Hadn't seen any mention of it here, so I thought I'd pass the info along for anyone who might be interested. It looks like it has 12 months of monster pictures, plus an extra page...

The remnants of Hurricane Frances hit Western North Carolina with a vengeance last night. According to news reports Biltmore Village (near the world famous Biltmore Estate) was under 7 feet of water earlier today. The main water treatment plant is offline, the governor's declared a state of...

I'm curious about this because I don't really consider myself to be a fantasy/sci-fi fan in general. I happen to enjoy (and consider myself a fan of) certain specific works in those genres (Babylon 5, Harry Potter, and the "Proteus" stories of Charles Sheffield to name a few examples), but I'm...

I want to play D&D again and am in need of a group to game with. It's been about a year and a half since I last played, so I'm a bit rusty just now and haven't upgraded to 3.5, although I'm willing to. I'm available to play weekends and most evenings, and prefer games that have a balance of...

Forget the controversy for a minute, because that's not what this is about. I remember Dragon #200. I remember anxiously waiting for it after seeing the preview of the cover. Elmore! Hologram! Cool! Man that was a long thirty days waiting for Dragon #200 to arrive. And when it arrived, it...
