Wasn't as funny? ;) I like trilogies, it (hopefully) allows for more plot and character development.

Weiss and Hickman? Only the Dragonlance can be considered exceptional. Darkstone (?) and the Djinn one was not all that great. And the space one. Harry Harrison: I presume the Stainless Steel Rat? Good, but rather trite after you've read them. Sort of a "McGyver". Zimmer Bradley is the...

but is that the fault of Tolkien or the authors who came after it? That's like blaming the first Championship deck for "using good cards" and thus every deck after it is a rip-off. The problem with fantasy is that there's only so many "traits" that can be considered fantasy. Elves, goblins...

Yeah, but you're how old? And the books are aimed at what age? I think the books are better than a lot of fantasy out there, so where does that leave us?

Almost everywhere you go, it's the "elder" races in decline and humans on the verge of taking over. Oh yeah, it's also in the Shannara series...

Yeah, let's give thanks to Tolkien for putting dwarves in a "declining era" spot that has never fully recovered (Warhammer, Iron Tower trilogy) :D

That's probably true but from what little I know from Diablo and such, your character is stored on the company's server yet someone produced a hack for it last winter and the servers had to be reset from backups. That's why it's important to make sure they've plugged the hole or whatever...

On this site at least, you shouldn't FEEL like you need to hold back. I know there are tourney players and that's fine, but more to the point, where were the casual players? Look at the recent revival of 5-color Magic talk. No tourney talk there. Bottom line: You should post your ideas and...

That's cooler. Much better.

Or wands, staves, or rings? :D

Oh yeah... but it didn't say what spells we knew. I wonder what else we can cast... ;)

But those poor four-and-twenty blackbirds, all baked in a pie! :(

"Lessee... that's one vote for YJ, one vote for me. One vote for Zadok, two for me. One for Ed, three for me <hic> :D

I say reason with it. Talk never hurts :) And I didn't know we were spellcasters. What surprises... :eek:

That screen from the link above shows lots of players, but it looks like they're arranged in duel format, across from each other from the table (you know, like how tourneys are set up). You just click on one and your opponent clicks on the other to join the duel. I don't know if it's...

I follow the priest and bring up the rear, watching our backs.

Saw this over the weekend and it was pretty good for an adaptation of the book. The major thing "missing" was the plot and character development; in the book, you had a sense of buildup of who was behind the evil doings and then the surprise ending. In the movie, it kind of skips all of that...

Spiderman perks up at the mention of free drinks and needing some liquid refreshment from counting the votes (counting aloud makes your throat get sore ;) , he dashes outside for a White Russian. Several of them.

Well, Hetemti, you sure have a knack of using poorly-worded statements. What the article is saying is that the Feds are pulling stuff that has potentially security concerns, not "stuff they don't like" (like criticisms of government officials, for example). The Baltimore Sun recently printed a...

It should be unless 5th rotates out also.
