Howdy, Stranger!

Ooh, I seem to have sparked a bit of a discussion. Careful now, I may lose my lurker status if people go around getting INVOLVED in the things I say. We wouldn't want that, would we? *giggles* Seriously, though, though I appreciate the support for group-based content, I see a lot of you are arguing it from a social…

I don't remember much about the first final fantasy, been waaaay too long since I touched it, but wouldn't that be less of a "challenge" and more of a "test of patience?" I mean, a party full of pure healers is going to be able to win any encounter based on raw stamina alone, right? You don't drop 4 White Mages without a…

I am not worried in the slightest about there being an abundant amount of accessible solo-friendly content. It has more or less become the norm for the MMO genre, and we haven't seen a truly group-reliant entry in the field since Final Fantasy XI in the early 2000's, more or less. I'm actually worried about a dreadfully…

Jester, meet the court. Court? Meet the jester. That being said, I have my own concerns about NWO that have me mildly wary, but I intend to give the game the benefit of the doubt - even if it doesn't achieve exactly what I WANT it to achieve, there's a chance it'll be an enjoyable and entertaining experience regardless. My…

Meh, I avoided the Legend of the Seeker TV series largely because of my personal disillusionment with the book series it was based on. I felt as the series persisted, the proportion of time and effort it spent on preaching the ideals of Objectivist philosophy began to further and further out-shadow the proportion of time…

Brother? BROTHER? Do I look like a Japanese manufacturer of printers and sewing machines to you? Do I strike you as the sort of individual who would ever lower herself to the participation in a greek fraternal organization? Or perhaps you have me confused with a character from a series of children's books about a family of…

Meh. Don't mind me. I'm just riding a black unicorn down the side of an erupting volcano while drinking from a chalice filled with the laughter of small children. Nothing evil about that at all. (and I sang death death devil devil devil devil evil evil evil evil songs...)

While I do feel like they've been a little tight with the information sharing for this stage of things, I seem to recall that was also the case when i was waiting on Champions Online to be released, so this is more or less in line with my expectations. Now, if you want to see the world's most neglected video game website,…

This did quite a bit for me. Thank you very much!

To me, the changes to Faerun brought about by the spellplague - which seemed custom tailored to bring the setting in line with the 4e design teams "points of light" world building philosophy - did a lot to kill what I considered the primary appeal OF the setting. If I wanted to play a game of deseperate survival where I'm…

Volume maxed... ...still can't hear what they're saying.

...that was the implied joke, yes. I'm not sure if you caught it and are running with it or you mistook it for a serious suggestion :)

Nah, Truth, you're fine. D&D has already provided a very convenient loophole for sci-fi references.

*hands the Hulk a margarita* Here, this will help, trust me. Benefit of living in New Orleans, y'all, there's one of those around every corner :)

Poor Pikel Bouldershoulder. If only he'd been born one edition later, he could have lived his dream. Doo-dad, my friends. Doo-dad. On a less comedic note, does anyone else feel like the last volume in the Cleric Quintet was kind of...unnecessary? The primary driving focus of the plot had been resolved and it just felt like…

Never trust a Waterdhavian merchant claiming to sell authentic drow equipment.

Vindi, for some reason the latest playable character being released in League of Legends really reminds me of you: http://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/images/news/October_2012/2012_10_19_Inside_Design_Elise/Elise_concept.jpg

If my memory isn't too cloudy, I believe they've more or less been folded into the Sorcerer class as one of the potential builds/themes/play-styles/gimmicks. I seem to recall them being one of the Dex-based options. (All Sorcerers use Charisma primary, and either Strength or Dex as a secondary) Really don't feel like…

Was Faiths and Avatars' version the psuedo-monk Priest kit? I remember one that got divine spell progression and hand to hand, but outside of the hand to hand, had none of the flavor of the OA class. I considered that one such a poor excuse for a monk that I didn't even bother mentioning it in my tally :) My favorite monk…

Ever since its debut in the earlier editions, the Monk has gotten slightly less useful in every subsequent published version of D&D, I've found. They were an obscenely strong class in 1st edition Oriental Adventures, was notably absent from 2nd edition, was really only good for beelining past the enemy ranks to try and…

Oh, I'm not trying to advocate they make you a mod or anything. I'm totally fine with the results of the poll. In fact, I would have been fine with ANY results from the poll. My entire philosophy about this election was simply that I wanted it over and done with as quickly as possible, with as little intrusion on my sphere…

I'm not a lich. I'm nothing undead. I'm LAW FUL GOOD (honest!) I'm not a lich, *****. None of us are perfect. But none of us can be happy with adventurers attacking. Adventurers who think hacking and looting are ways to Be a hero, be a hero Adventurers, be a hero I'll go to Waterdeep, and do what they do! Doo doo doo doo…

If Truth had been on the ballot, I actually would have voted.

Grammar <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> time: WHO is going to be the new mod. "who" is used for the subject of a sentence, preceding the verb. "whom" is used for the object of a sentence, normally after the verb. In this case, our verb is "to be." If you rearranged the sentence a bit, and said "The new mod is going to…

Bah, no love for the classics around here :)

I've been on a nostalgia kick and replaying Baldur's Gate 2. Halfling Thief (Swasbuckler). Dual wielding longswords, which kind of looks silly on a character this size. Because why hide your rogue behind a front line warrior when they can BE a front line warrior :)

Church of Shar, eh? Tell you what. You focus on worshipping Shar. And I'll find far more enjoyable ways to worship Sharess. Rawr.

The overall point of the 4e D&D alignment changes was to make it less of a mechanical consideration and more of a story-related decision. Simplifying down to five alignments was not something I approved of, but the decision to remove alignment considerations from special abilities, class entry requirements, and items is…

Since NW is being based on 4e, I would expect them to use that edition's approach to spell defense. In 4th Edition D&D, saving throws are no longer reactive rolls when targeted by a spell. Instead, they are incorporated as additional defensive stats that must be targeted and overcome. So instead of rolling your +4 reflex…

There are three elven races in 4e D&D, the Elves, the Eladrin, and the Drow. Elves and Eladrin are essentially a split between the elves of previous editions: all the arcane an intellectual elf culture went to the Eladrin. Elves, on the other hand, incorporate more of the "nature elf' theme present in Wood Elves and Wild…
