The Hive is Not Yet Dead.

That's very true. You think it'd be way broken?

Only because how powerful the combination of Rage + Flurry of blows can become when you have the right feats.

Oy, this talk about TMNT made me want to create Bebop and Rocksteady as D&D characters. Hmm. Dumb, Big, Strong, maybe barbarians.

Which reminded me. Where is Horacio? Come out, come out where-ever you are our french-spaniard friend .

I was just playing Axis & Allies on the computer.

Wife is really looking forward to it. I can't help but think the money could go elsewhere but I have always been more money-oriented. Speaking of which, I think "Against The Giants" may be the last DDM set I will buy. With 4e coming, it looks sad for me and gaming....

I plan on sticking to the GSL--or whatever the free online ruleset will be called--for at least most of the year.

At higher levels, advantage still goes to casters--I don't think this combination is over the top, necessarily, especially compared with some insane builds.

Oh my. I just had a crazy idea. I'm going to run a short Star Wars game soon and was looking at the WotC SW-minis and decided I don't want to get 10 booster packs and hope to get enough stormtroopers to run a few encounters. So instead, I'm going to take the few WH40K Spacemarines I have from years past and paint them with Stormtrooper colours. Then buy a few imperial guard figures to paint with Rebel colours and lastly do some modding to make a couple of Jedis from imperial guards, some WH Fantasy minis and coloured clear plastic sticks. Now this is crazy, they will not look anything like those in movies, and I probably will fail horribly, but I just have to try. Maybe I succeed and have fun.

Damn, now I've got an idea for a Space Marines campaign forming in my head and it doesn't want to leave. Course it might've been helped along by readng The Saint omnibus as I saw your post.

I may be mistaken (I don't spend a lot of time on the 4E forum), but I seem to remember reading that the GSL is not going to be a mostly-functional set of the 4E rules; I seem to recall them saying that it wouldn't be usable as a replacement for buying the rulebooks. The GSL is mostly a tool for publishers to use in creating compatible products.

The Postal Service is in a difficult spot. The Internet continues to take away a significant chunk of their business (primarily bills and personal correspondence); while they've seen gains in shipping packages (due to online shopping and eBay), they have very tough competition (UPS and other private shippers) for that business. And, meanwhile, fuel costs keep rising, so they're having to spend more and more to process fewer and fewer items.
