    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Some moved to red, a few went rampage, a few are staying in TMO, and many formed Forsaken.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    You can see Death, Eternity, Entropy, and Infinity in the carvings around the 6 ingots during the Collector's flashback. I assume they'll eventually be seen or felt beyond that.

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    What, you didn't like Waru?

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    The problem is that Superman, and most other non-kill heroes, have a huge storytelling handicap built into the character. Obviously, we want to stay true to a character as much as possible, but Superman's restrictions completely tie the writer's hands. Making him kill Zod forces him to actually...

    It's just a few people rabble rousing. Nothing will come of it.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    There's certainly a high chance that shady things are still happening to get around the .DLL. However, any work around is VERY well hidden and not entirely useful. Every raid target has to be face tracked by a person at the keyboard so that the batphone can be fired off instantly. That really...

    Dungeons & Dragons - New & Old

    I never said anything was "missing" or "cut." I simply said that I wish we had seen more. I'd have enjoyed books on Constructs & Fey like the Draconomicon or Libris Mortis. I would have liked the BoED and BoVD (as sloppy as those two were) on law and chaos. I wanted a monster builder guidebook...

    Dungeons & Dragons - New & Old

    4th had a lot of great ideas, and it's a shame the tone of the game turned so many people off so quickly. One of my favorite things about 4th was the designer's willingness to break away from 3.X's slavish devotion to modular stat blocks. 3.X had such a focus on hit dice and stat progressions...

    Dungeons & Dragons - New & Old

    3.5 was an amazing edition. It had a lot of flaws, but find one that didn't. It's taken years for many groups to patch over the holes, and a lot of campaigns are held together with houserule duct tape, but it's still stood up pretty well. Pathfinder's existence is a testament to how well the d20...

    That scene is actually fairly reasonable.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    The important thing is that no matter how good the writing is for Batman, he's still paired with Superman. It's almost guaranteed they're going to resort to super preparedness, and it's going to be forced and cringe-worthy. Batman is fine on his own as everyone has already said. When you put him...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    The problem, as it's already been pointed out, isn't that he's simply "unrealistic"; it's that he's completely out of step with the rules of reality as established in the comic universe. Batman will be put into impossible situations, but he'll still win. This is because the writes will establish...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I don't know how much plat is in your bank currently; PM me if you need some. Right now I've got Eyashusa parked in Lavastorm with FR/MR gear on for next Tuesday's Naggy spawn. I use him pretty much every Naggy and Vox spawn, so the account is pretty safe.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    No GMs implicated. Just your standard shit flinging, and someone decided to start posting pictures and facebooks. It got spammed enough that Sirken said stop it and started ban hammering people.
