I had never heard of it before right now, looks like they are trying to capitalize on the "Twilight" craze. Just makes me miss Buffy all the more. Though it is an existing book series, I'd say that the Twilight success is the very reason this thing is coming to TV. I'll stick with True Bl...

I can't chapter-and-verse it, unfortunately, but I'm pretty sure Mangrum is talking about the idea that Ebonbane's reality wrinkle is gradually expanding and drawing the surrounding domains into itself as its influence gradually degrades the reality of the lands around its prison. EDIT: Found it! G...

I've seen the show, and feel it's just a weak rip off of X-Files. As for the writing, it's just... ridiculous . I for one hope that it gets cancelled this coming season... Nothing is really original anymore. I'd hesitate to only compare Fringe to something like X-Files, though. With the whole "...

Let's just say that I'm going to catch up on the show and watch all the episodes now. I've seen a total of 4 or 5 episodes of Fringe, but one of them was the finale because I wanted to see Leonard Nimoy's role. The show was pretty good. Somewhat predictable in places (I figured out the Peter thing w...

Yeah, I've been a silent reader since this game started. I look forward to reading this every single day. I love the story, most of the NPC's (or hate them, as the case may be...Cavendish, I'm looking at you), and I really love the PC's. All that said, I really feel the need to comment. This chapter...

So...the sequel is basically treated the first story as "true events" where Stoker either was a witness to the events or was at least informed of them? If that's the case, I'm not sure how that would work. If it absolutely had to have that sort of storyline, I would have preferred that the...

So they make everyone take them down and stop selling them because of piracy. Do they realize that because of this, anyone who was willing to pay for the product will now have no other option but illegal downloading? Good thinking on their part.

I never trust such posts on April 1. I wait until a couple of days after before I take them seriously. Honestly, this kind of thing would have been better if it had gotten started about a month ago, or even longer. Have two sites that are willing to go along with it. Have an actual vote here.

With the voting split, "Leave it to the DM" or "present both options" would probably be the way to go. I just voted my preference, and others probably did the same. So while I prefer demiplane and that's how I voted, I'm not opposed to the idea of presenting options that allow a ...

No, frankly, its not you. The page-flipping mechanic in MSD's board is pretty confusing. I never wouldn't have figured it out myself, except by cheer, blind luck... even though web interfaces happens to be my current field of study. :?: The part where it says "Go To Page 2" is confusing??...

As much as I'm NOT a fan of Spelljammer, Annaes actually interests me. Go figure. I'd like to see more of that one. The Black Dragon is really an entirely different type of DL. Admittedly, if it's not done right, it could go from interesting to...not so good. Of course, I recently watched Event Hori...

Again, votes yet no comments. I voted for keeping it the same. Really, it doesn't work as well in my eyes if it's not the demiplane. Really, making it an actual world sort of limits things (from a Planescape guy who understands why realms and planes can, and sometimes should, be infinite*). Even if ...

While I see votes, I see no responses. So here goes. As much as I hate it, I voted for 4e on this one. Why would I do this even though I'm generally against 4e? Well, we already have 3e Ravenloft. It's hard to get your hands on it right now, but the stuff is out there. And like what was said, the mu...

I laughed.

Depends on the theme of this Ravenloft, I guess. If it deals more with mortal evil, then something like Bluetspur shouldn't exist. If it's more about the Dark Powers either testing or observing evil of all forms, then my vote (as reflected in the poll) is, in fact, Bluetspur. Mind, I've never actual...
