It's been around a while...doesn't make it any less weird. Remove Kung Fu Panda from the picture and its still an April Fool's joke gone awry.
I do think this is the result of a feedback loop. Blizzard puts out an April Fools joke and eventual cameo appearance of a martial artist, anthropomorphic. Someone else latches onto this idea and Kung Fu Panda is born.
The question that lingers in my mind: If it wasn't for King Fu Panda, would a Panderia expansion in WoW ever been realized?
If anyone plays Warhammer, the Ogre Kingdoms army came out a very short while after Shrek was a big hit. Coincidence? I don't know, but it's funny none-the-less. Plus they were green. Cheers!  |

I read the books with a combination of Tron Legacy soundtrack, Texhnolyze soundtrack, Casshern soundtrack, The Fountain soundtrack and Hybrid's Break My Soul (instrumental). I can no longer seperate them in my mind.
Amen! I've got so many soundtracks that I cannot list them all. Though try anything from any Christopher Nolan films (Inception and The Prestige are my favourites) and the remake of Battlestar Gallactica soundtrack. Cheers! |

As a result, I was thinking that it's probably good practice that if nothing else, anyone who's spent an AD should get 1 back at the start of the following scene.
I've been doing something like this for little while now. Everyone gets an action die at the end of a scene which I though was particularly fun, but they are not allowed to go over their starting number for the session with this die. Cheers! |

The default bookmarks have Book Three "expanded" and no other.
Sorry, what? There's a typo in the following bookmark: Book One > Chapter 3 > Building a Hero > Step 5 > Ser Your Resiliences (it should be "Set"?) Cheers! As I mentioned earlier, bookmarks will have to be rebuilt entirely as a result of the revisions, so this will be addressed as a matter of course. Thanks! Sorry, I must have missed that somewhere along the lines. Ignore me... Cheers! |

Just a simple one from me: p395, first bullet, second sentence. "Perhaps bandit have settled in caves along the cliff faces here..." Missing the 's' a the end of bandit(s). In book 2 the background double page alchemical symbol is darker on some pages than others. Cheers! |

It needs more rules for social things, really. 3.5 had Diplomacy and stuff, but there was never real support for social encounters (which I been told that 4E has basically no rules for). Don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE fan of totally roleplaying social encounters, but in a lot of groups there will be players (not to mention the GM) with a socialite character who can talk rings around anyone and the player themself simply can't - for those times you need rules to back it up.
Examples: In the last game I ran one player had borderline personality cult levels of talking skill and simply wasn't up for roleplaying all the stuff his character could do - he just couldn't think about what a hyper intelligent pacifist with a magnet personality would actually say. So I just asked him what tactics he'd use and how he'd come at them, and just let him roll against the appropriate skill. Same game I had a player who I had to make roll because they could roleplay through any encounters and their character had IQ 6 (for non-gurps players that's basically the same as Intelligence 6 and Charisma 6, or worse).
Leading on from this, I hope that Bards and Illusionists become more RP and non-combat classes again... Or I could play Fantasy Craft!  Cheers! |
