As an old-school V:tM player, I vote that the plural of "Nosferatu" is "Nosferatu". Ex: "There are a half-dozen nosferatu about to stomp your sorry butt into next week."
Meh. LucasArts hasn't been making much in the way of decent gaming output in a while; most of the best SW games of late have been by BioWare. While I would love to see a resurrection of Grim Fandango or Maniac Mansion, it wasn't as though LucasArts was doing anything with those franchises before the Disney acquisition. Maybe know Disney can contract out those properties to companies that are actually interested in making quality games. I don't see this as a loss (although I do hope that the displaced LucasArts staff members find new jobs quickly).
I'm iffy on the naga (pointing out a concern before it is raised does not invalidate that concern); I'll need to check out the stats for that particular character before making up my mind whether or not a Young Naga is a worthwhile addition to my collection. I'm intrigued by the Shimerae, although that multitude of snakey protrusions only reinforces my concerns about packaging. It's a nice looking mini, but man do those things look like they could snap right off. I'm excited about Endymion; he's a good looking pirate, but I think that he could also make a good stand-in for an Andoran in uniform.
I assume that it's because the comic book Amazons were, unlike the creators of the myths referenced, smart enough to realize that having breasts does not prevent a person from shooting a bow or throwing a spear. I wonder: If ancient Greek society had been dominated by women, would they have come up with an equally laughable story about a society of warrior men that castrated themselves so that they could ride horses?
If people are going to request that we wait a "respectful period of time" after a tragedy before discussing gun control, I'm going to request that gun owners stop stacking tragedies so close together.
Saw it Friday night at the El Capitan in Hollywood. Absolutely fantastic. If you're wondering if you should see it, I'm telling you that you should see it. I intentionally went to the last showing of the night, in order to get a movie theater full of excited adults rather than kid/parent combos. That was a good move on my part, I think.
Paladins are not champions of good and law. They are lawful champions of good. Paladins do not get Smite Chaos, they cannot Detect Chaos at will, and they are allowed to freely associate with chaotic characters. They tend to support law because they are lawful characters, but they are not law's champions the way that they are good's.
I'd say that killing an intelligent being in order to eat his or her flesh is evil, but eating the flesh of a fallen foe who died at your hands for purposes unrelated to eating them is not necessarily evil. It's worth noting that Lizardfolk are mentioned as being cannibalistic in the Bestiary, and their alignment is given as Neutral. |
