I'm starting to get "superhero" fatigue at the theaters, but this is definitely one of the better ones. As to be expected, it's an origin story and only makes me impatient to see the sequel.

I've always thought that a cleric should refuse to heal others unless they converted and devoted themselves the cleric's god.

And I disagree with the belief that it's the DM's responsibility to keep the potion inventory full so that the party won't harass the cleric.

<t>I was disappointed with the casting for the Baroness (Sienna Miller) and I'm not enthusiastic about the choice of director (Stephen Sommers) - no offense to either of them, there are others better suited for the project.<br/> <br/> However, I'll admit that those pictures got me excited and hopefu...

<t>Also, I don't agree with the notion that 4e is too complex to attract new gamers.<br/> <br/> From what I've seen, at it's core, it is very simple. All the options, which may seem like a mess to slow the game down, are self-contained rulings for specific situations. The book-keeping might scare so...

Alwyn,

Nice system. I may have to test it out.

To clarify - did you count the cost for 0-level spells as 0 SP or 1 SP?

I really like the Pathfinder format. I ran the first module for two separate groups and it worked really well.

Though, Harry Joy is right, it does cater to current trends. Which is sensible.

<t>Bash Man,<br/> <br/> You can't fault any company for wanting to make money. As North Americans, we're trained to be good consumers, collectors and completists.<br/> <br/> I agree that the 4e marketing, so far, has been questionable and debatably alienating. However, I do feel that the design behi...
