Great review! I was just looking at reviews on BGG, was a bit disappointed at what was there, and gave up to come here for other stuff. Surprise, exactly what I was looking for! (Are you going to post it at BGG?) This is the best news of all and what I was most concerned about. I don't mind...

If you were its prey and you could see the world in slow motion, this is what a monster's attack would look like. Amazing nature - The Eagle Owl

There's a brand new preview up with much, much more than we've seen before. It looks amazing.

My friend is conducting some basic research on how well women and men can tell when someone's lying. You basically look at some short video clips and tell it which of the three things the person said was a lie. The "two truths and a lie" thing, but with video. In order to maintain some form of...

For you boardgame fans, I've created a small PDF of print-n-cut-n-revel-in-glee meeple Halloween decorations. Check out Meeplestein, Mummy Meeple, the Meep-O'-Lantern, and more! Genimuse SpielStuff -- Game Journals (Preview of the images on that page, not a direct link to the PDF.)

Something confuses me about the description of the Prone Condition in the PHB (page 277). All of the conditions list the things that you can and can't do while in that condition, and how you're affected. One of the things it lists under Prone, though, is: Now... you're already prone, so that...

For some reason I thought the whole Battlestar Galactica prequel "Caprica" was a no-go, but Sci-Fi was showing it off on Sunday. The little trailer (despite its bad formatting) looks Awesome. Plus, Eric Stoltz, Esai Morales, and Paula Malcomson? Count me in!

A new orientation film (or more accurately, outtakes from one) for the Orchid Station, up on YouTube.

Piles and piles of delicious Claudia Black goodness, woohoo! Her natural accent is significantly sexier, but it was neat to see her doing an American one. Episode-wise, enjoyable.

Though I'm somewhat looking forward to the rest of this season of Lost, I'm not nearly as excited about it as I thought I would be at this point, and I though I've been a defender of how the writers have been revealing the mysteries, I'm concerned about it. From a January 22 interview with Cuse...

Wow, that was a fantastically great episode. Not much in the way of sci-fi, but a great story. Really good television. I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep watching, but this episode made up for a lot of past stuff I didn't care for.

So cool.

I've been DMing and playing D&D for better than 25 years now, and when I DM I always create my own campaign worlds. However, I just don't have time for that now. I have a new group who'd like to play, and I'd like to try it with a pre-built campaign setting. I need your knowledge and experience...

I'm doing some consulting work for a non-profit medical clinic and they need virus software badly (running Housecall revealed a TON of worms). I've heard that there are at least one or two quite good virus protection/elimination programs out there, but since my work has usually been for...

About half the time I surf ENWorld I use an old Pentium 400 on a wireless laptop. Because the little guy only has 64mb, I changed my security settings so that it wouldn't run ActiveX controls or any other plug-ins by default, but will instead ask me. This helps a ton when surfing pages (on other...

Caught a screening of The Forgotten tonight. It's really well done: good story, good characters, well-directed, it's got plenty of good thrills, it's got cool effects I've never seen before, and it keeps you largely guessing. There are a few small plot... well, not truly "holes," but things...

Caught a screening of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow this evening. It does a really amazing job of bringing the pulp comics and radio serials of the 30s to life, but adding to them quite a bit of modern sensibility. The effects -- especially the overall tone, color palette, and feel --...

I caught a preview screening of Shaun of the Dead last night: what a hoot! It's being billed as a romantic comedy zombie film, and that's precisely what it is. It's not a parody or spoof, mind you, but rather a funny zombie flick made by people who really dig zombie movies. The story follows...

This morning on NPR's Morning Edition they had a good segment on D&D today, 30 years later, with a brief bit of Mr. Arneson and other stuff. The written text of the link below isn't all that good, but the actual audio story that you can listen to there was quite positive, I felt. Good coverage...

The Travel Channel will be showing the "Marvel Super Heroes Guide to New York City" next Sunday. Looks kinda cool, with plenty of real places plus pretend ones like The Baxter Building.
