4th Edition Ettercap?!

I was in the FLGS yesterday and they had a poster for the new D&D minis set. Has anyone else noticed the flesh-tone four armed Ettercap? Also, Pig Farmer rules!

While it is certainly sad to see an old friend go, I think this provides a solid opportunity to build up a new game world and start making new classics that will be fondly remembered and looked back on 30 years from now.

I really want to know what text goes with that clockwork heart. Clockwork bionics at last!

Things WoTC employees have said that I find highly insulting and infuriating

Forget 4th Edition! For that matter, forget 3.x! I'm gonna make my own game, with blackjack, and hookers! In fact, forget the game!

The Core Mechanic

I haven't seen anything from WotC for myself that states that "Save or Die" spells are going away. Instead, Saving Throws are going away, so that a Save or Die spell becomes a Hit or Miss spell for the DM? So, what, if the DM rolls high the character dies? One things for sure, players are going to get a whole lot more nervous when the DM starts rolling behind the screen...

Potions of Jump for the Gummi Bears, but for humans they become Potions of Bull Strength.

Need the name of a old Sci-Fi movie from the 80's

Here's one that has been driving me nuts, and it's super vague to boot. All I can remember is that theres a creature killing people. One of the people has a disease, and so they make spears with his blood in needles on the ends to kill the creature. The spears don't work so well, so the hero shoves the diseased guy into the creature. Having written that out, jeeze thats vague. Anyway, I haven't thought about these movies in years, and you guys have pulled out some real classics. I remember the Eliminators was like my favorite movie when I was a kid. I saw it at Blockbuster some years ago and forced my friends to watch it with me. Ouch, that movie did not age well at all...
