No, no I would not.

Okay, what was the date on the newspaper? I missed it, so I dunno what year that was supposed to be.

My favorite Stotlz film remains The Fly II.

Um, where are we on there?

EDIT: Nevermind, i found us on MMO Isle. I was looking around Troll Bay at first.

Yeah, normally I avoid Sci-Fi movies, but I'm too much a fanboy of Felicia to miss this.

Felicia has posted a preview video!

"I'm on a horse."

"Moo."

"A cow."

That keeps cracking me up.

Felicia Day's Sci-Fi Channel movie, Red: Werewolf Hunter" has it's air date. October 30th! Set your DVRs! Ms. Day blogged that she hopes it beats out Sharktopus. Let's make it happen!

(yes I know it's "SyFy" but I hate that.)

Interestingly, Felicia is also doing voice work in two video games coming out this month, too. "Rock of the Dead" and "Fallout: New Vegas!"

I approve of Emma Stone as MJ. But then, I approve of Emma Stone in anything.

Needs more Sara bikini montages.... *wipes drool off shirt*

Nathan Fillion as the voice of Brown Widow! This episode is awesome just for that!

3D is just the way theaters are trying to combat people downloading movies at home. But films like the HP franchise don't need it. Potter brings crowds in already.

Lois in S&M gear = best episode ever.

Seriously? You're starting a thread for an episode 3 days before it airs? Is this really necessary?

You know, I knew Kurtz was a big guy, but he's... bigger than I thought. At first I thought this was a clip from The Biggest Loser.

Nice to see the Rock getting back into action films and away from Disney crap.

So, at the recent PAX, the Acquisitions Inc crew got together for a live session in front of an audience of D&D geeks. The guys from Penny Arcade and PvP embarked on an epicly crazy adventure to bring their dead team member, Aeofel ("Al") the Eladrin (played by Wil Wheaton) back to life. It is freaking hilarious.

Will the succeed? Will the DM lose his mind? Will Wil stop screaming in terror every time someone says "acid pit?" Tune in and see!

I hereby name this planet Reach.

Let's go settle it! I'm sure nothing bad will happen. >.>

Eggs and ketchup. Yum.

I'm not sure what time zone their local listings page is using. It claims 3 AM in my area (MST), but it actually airs at midnight here.

In any case, thank goodness for tivo.

Don't know how many folks know this, but Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, is back on TV after.. what? 20 years? She's hosting her show again. Appears to be syndicated. It airs at midnight on Saturdays on a local broadcast channel where I live. So far she's done Night of the Living Dead and something called the Terror (which is truly terrible).

It's nice to see her on the air again. She can still fill out that dress, too. Not bad for a woman of almost 60. O_O

You can check her website for local listings. Great viewing with Halloween coming up. http://www.elvira.com/

So, I dunno if this was discussed when the book was released, but Dark Sun is now a campaign setting for 4th edition D&D.

Overall, I like the update. They've been very dedicated to sticking to established canon (the parts the fans like, anyway). The timeline has been reversed to just after the fall of Kalak, which makes for an excellent campaign starting point.

Muls and Thri-Kreen get their 4E updates, and they work pretty well. Muls make for excellent fighters and barbarians, and Thri-Kreen are first rate rangers, monks and druids. Half-Giants are simply renamed Goliaths from the PHB2, but that's cool. It's an excellent fit.

No new classes, but existing classes get some new stuff to help them fit into Athas. Fighters can take a new class feature to be gladiators, Warlocks can take a "sorcerer-king pact" to be templars, and shamans can take elemental spirits for their companions to be elemental priests. There's no divine power source in Dark Sun, so the cleric, paladin, avenger, invoker and runepriest classes are absent.

Defiling magic is handled simply. If you have at least one arcane daily attack power, you get the "Arcane Defiling" at-will power, which as a free action lets you cause some necrotic damage to those around you to reroll an attack or damage roll for an arcane daily attack power.

"Wild talents" are also handled simply. A character of in class can, with DM permission, select one at-will psionic power from a page full of selections.

Dark Sun also introduces the mechanic of Character Themes, which provide a selection of powers to help your PC better fit into the flavor of the setting. Each theme grants a power for free, and then lists several more than can be taken in place of standard class powers as you progress in level. Examples include Dune Trader, Gladiator, Noble Adept, Templar and Veiled Alliance. I like this idea, and wish there were themes for Eberron.

Then of course there's the requisite new feats, epic destines (Dragon King!), and equipment. The non-metal issue is simple. All weapons and armor have the same stats as their metal counterparts, but with an optional rule for breakage. All the old favorites are back, like carrikals and tortoise blades. Mounts like crodlus, kanks and more are there, too.

Then we get a long exploration of Athas, including several of the city-states (tyr gets the most coverage), and other inportant sites like the Forest Ridge and the Sea of Silt.

Finally there's a section on running Dark Sun campaigns, including a very brief 1st-level adventure.

I don't have the Creature Catalog yet, but that's my next purchase. I'm very pleased with the Campaign Setting book. The nostalgia is great, as DS has always been an awesome setting.
