Some friends and I provided playtesting feedback on Tesla vs. Edison. This game, for lack of a better word, is terrible. The various "luminaries" you can recruit are almost identical, with only slight variations in their areas of expertise (finance vs engineering, etc). The propaganda cards...

Three-act structure really lends itself particularly well to convention games, where there's a limited time frame in which to play through a given story/dungeon/scenario. I find that pretty much every game that I run at a major convention--which I've been doing for at least 10 years, plus my...

Sentinels of the Multiverse may well be the best superhero-themed card game on the market today. Seeing the Greater Than Games crew expand from cards into tabletop combat, while simultaneously expanding the SotM universe, is really something spectacular. They'll have my pledge, to be sure.

I always viewed Poison Ivy as a reflection of both Batman's industrial roots and his repressed sexuality. Bruce Wayne is the head of a multi-billion dollar corporation, which surely has had environmental lapses and (at best) middling effect on the environment at large. Pamela Isley rejected...

Most of the above suggestions are fantastic ones, though I'd like to throw in an oft-neglected storyline that gets overlooked, simply because it's hard to find: "Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham" It's a re-envisioning of Batman through the Lovecraft mythos, written and illustrated by...

Surprised to see that there's no mention of "Transmorphers" yet. It may be the only movie I've ever seen that has nudity in the trailer...but none in the actual movie. In addition to being a poorly written, poorly acted, poorly directed pastiche of Cleopatra 2525, the movie falters...

Info on the Warlord: Warlords start out with armor proficiencies up through chainmail, with an option to drop a certain class ability to pick up proficiency in Scale. There are typically two builds of warlord--the "tactical" warlord (granting more bonuses to attack, extra attacks...

If you are playing 4e, I'd actually recommend a Warlord. They're a melee-based and medium/heavy armored class, with lots of polearm-specific powers and abilities. Their biggest schtick is providing substantial damage, along with combat buffs (and minorly, healing) for the party. There are...

This thread is not complete without mention of Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. Hard to believe that it wasn't mentioned already.

I'm going to be honest with you, OP. As a teacher, if I were to grade your essay, and you spend a significant amount of time essentially defeating your own major point, you probably wouldn't pass. This isn't to say that you should ignore the weaknesses in your argument, but rather that you...
