In the upper right, is a blonde lady with a green hat. Look at her eyes. I think her ears are closer together than her eyes are.

RPG art is frequently a little weird, but Dragonlance continually has the weirdest non-human looks even among D&D art.

It doesn't look like a tower: just a giant sculpture. And unlesss I'm colorblind the "fingers" are black, not red.

Also, needs more lens flare.

Is that story about the French teenager killing a priest who used to molest him legit? A quick search only seems to bring up Daily Mail or further right sources. Well, Catholic newspapers are running with it and criticizing the church for its handling of the case, so I'd assume that it's legit. htt...

Happy new year. May it either improve things significantly, or at least put us out of our collective misery quickly.

I think Pokemon Ace is a bad class, in the same sense that Adventurer (who specializes in going into dungeons, murdering the occupants, and taking their stuff!) would be a bad class for D&D. A more elegant solution might be a specialist, like a bug catcher or fisher. They get bonuses to one spe...

In the books, I'm pretty sure ordinary people ran from the bottom of the tower to the top in Palanthas, so it's not 200m tall. And you can't see it from every point in the city, which you could if it was 200m tall. Also, weren't the towers that were blown up originally in uninhabited places, but pe...

Comparing to other forums with similar structure, 20x the number of views as posts isn't unreasonable. It's possible that RPGnet posters need to have an opinion on everything and post on every thread they read? Plus, you probably get a slight increase from people viewing a thread, then logging in an...

This is the thing that I just can't believe - WHY haven't "they" ripped off more of the samurai/western movies for SW? They're Disney, and it's Star Wars. They don't have to put in even the slightest effort to make piles of money. "They" are all about taking something interestin...

This is why I like Koumei. I laugh, and them I'm depressed.

Reverse Death functions as raise dead but has a shorter window of time in which a person can be brought back to life, does not purify their body of poison or disease, is 9th-level, and the target must make a Will save upon revival or else die again. Shape of the Beasts enables the caster to transfo...

Yeah, but people are mostly shitty people. It's probably a slightly higher incidence rate, but I'm not sure what you expected.

One chapter in, and they're trying to out-do AD&D for amount of fantasy racism. In a book about wizards.

This is going to be good.

Nope. Yelp still offers the service of removing incorrect reviews for business partners, which only coincidentally looks identical to removing low scores for pay.

Spoilered for poor attitude about xmas:

Also, nice work, Prak.

Can someone explain why people seem to like either the latest Star War or the one before it, and hate the other?

The alignment-based planes in Planescape were insane for Planescape, and veered way into Poe's Law territory.

I remember you got a movement penalty based on how far you were from the "correct" alignment of that plane, which must have been great fun for mixed-alignment parties.

I'm not all that invested in movies to be able to recognize the artistic quality in a way I can coherently articulate to others. That being said I found Eragon far more irritating than TFA. Not that I thought TFA was 'good' or anything. It was pretty lame to me but more in a banal corporate way ins...

Yeah, I specifically used that portion because the rest was pretty homophobic and/or generally shitty. Damn, and I thought my landlord saying they were filing to evict me on Xmas so they could charge me yet another fee because I called them out on losing my rent check and not telling me for 2 weeks...

I think UFC is a sport. Anyway, racist got his ass beat.

Yeah, I don't know how to un-fuck a console game. It should be harder to get it screwed up because you can't install mods or make any changes yourself, but also you can't fix it for the same reasons.

Don't worry, that'll pass.

Although you might get "too apathetic to bother calling it completely fucking retarded."

It can be 2 things. As the saying goes, there's plenty of blame to go around.

I've been playing Graveyard Keeper, and I think I found out why people like Harvest Moon-type games (see also Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley). First, it feels like your knowledge of what to do is giving you a shortcut. You have like 75 techs in 5-ish trees, but your brilliant ass figured out whi...
