We've been catching up on it, and it's true it's not completely faithful to the books. Zed uses a LOT more magic than he ever did in the books for one thing. Still, we're both enjoying it. Neither Jon or I are 'sticklers' when it comes to such stuff, it has to go pretty far off before I really care....

While the concept artwork was completed in the US, a noted Japanese animation studio Topcraft, produced the animation for Rankin-Bass. Principal artists included coordinating animator Toru Hara; supervising animator/character designer Tsuguyuki Kubo; character and effects animators Hidetoshi Kaneko,...

That is precisely the reason why Lightning Bolt is the preferred spell underground, you have to be pretty high level to be able to throw a Fireball and not get caught in your own spell! Lightning Bolt has it's own risks, but it's easier to get around than Fireball is. Mira (Artificial intelligence i...

I thought the 'supermodules' were just the series repackaged, nothing really new added, just conveniently collected. I have some of them in non-super module form (ie, S1, S2, S3 and S4 as seperate modules), is there any reason to get them in super-module form if you have the modules seperately? Mira...

Round Lake Beach! I just moved from Gurnee, that was pretty close by! I've been to Friend's Hobby a few times, though I think that Games Plus in Mt Prospect is a better store. (just too far away after we moved up to Gurnee from where we were) Now I'm in MN though, no more visits to either one of tho...

It sounds more and more like a combination of video game and card game. More a card game from what I'm seeing. What crap! :roll: Exactly. I bet we'll be seeing the actual cards being sold fairly soon, since that's really the only reasonable way to play the game without a computer. Even the reviews ...

4E, has Hasbro finally delivered the killing blow?
I've seen the 4E PHB and it is far worse than I could ever have imagined. And I had really low expectations for it going in! Clerics can start with an AT WILL ability that does 1d8 + their wisdom modifier damage, using their Wisdom vs the foes Reflex. It has a 5 square range AND one of their friends...

I have to say that made me wonder as well, like you, I've always started at 1st level unless it was a 'one-shot' adventure, where it wasn't about role-play but how clever the players were. (we did those every once in a while, with the 'competition' modules) And usually those one-shots weren't all th...

I have the first 250 on CDs somewhere, but I don't know where they are at the moment. Having been in the process of selling our house for quite a while, a lot of stuff was boxed up. So they are probably in a box somewhere, but I couldn't say where they are. Still, there might be copies somewhere for...

I don't think it's necessarily the Negative Material Plane, but any extra planar connection. Maybe because I grew up with 1E, and demons and devils are turnable there. (and those have no connection to the Negative Material Plane). In the case of skeletons and zombies, part of the original soul is in...

All I could find was a list of golems for NWN (CRPG) and a write up that someone else had done. The NWN version makes them stronger than Iron Golems(!), while the other writeup makes them fairly weak, but annoying. -------------------------------------------- Flesh Golem: Pinkish, small, 40hp, 2000x...

I'd think a Red Dragon would be wanting to do ANYTHING to get out of there! It could only live down there by hibernating a lot and feeding on whatever Halaster fed it, there's no way it could forage for food if it can't get to the surface once in a while. Though I bet it's probably pretty cowed by H...

As for the MC pages themselves, I'm probably one of only a handful of people who absolutely love the format. Wish they hadn't gone to books at all. I like it too, though I like having the book also.

I'll be viewing things every once in a while, but I suspect my tastes are too different after seeing a positive review for the Priests Handbook and a negative one for the Elves one. While I agree that most of the 'Complete' series was pretty poor, I thought some were decent (the Thieves, Bards and D...
