[412]That's a terrible ethic!

And there's your classic science vs. etherial tenet argument.

Who was it who predicted the blinker stone would come out? Whoever it was, kudos.

Also, I like how now Rey and Kat are acting out exactly what Jones described; the differences betwixt etherial tenet and science. Wonder how that dynamic will play out in the end.

So, essentially, the blinker stone is a Green Lantern Power Ring. In blackest night indeed.

All this shenanigans, I forgot about who gave Annie the stone. I guess Mort's posting is only to that specific locality of the Court (study rooms).

Any Science sufficiently advanced would be indistinguishable from Magic. I guess sometimes sticking too close to that tenet can be a dangerous thing, trying to infer the science behind magic.

good ol magic vs science. Well Kat could always try making her own blinker stone.

maybe because I have been playing 4e D&D, but the way they are operating as a group reminds me of am adventuring group...
in fact, with a little modifications to the rules to fit it, I think the court would be a great setting for a campaign or at least an adventure.

And the game master is Coyote.

There's a preview available. It showcases some of the new rules and classes and stuff, and has a sample adventure.

I have checked out the preview, and I will say I much prefer the wealth of material already available for 3.5 and not having to relearn some fundamentals, over the advantages that 4e does bring.

I'll probably migrate sometime later, once it gets a solid grounding of alternative material. But frankly, over 500 sourcebooks and other supplements is much more material than Core 4e is going to contain.

[quote author=Second comment]... who feels like they may have simplified the most interesting parts clear out of the game, filled the gaps liberally with WoW, and ended up with a game that, admittedly, has a much lower barrier to entry but is also not particularly interesting?[/quote]The Monopoly comparison is quite fitting, as the quality of both games(Monopoly without house rules and 3.5) is pretty much the same and degrades when added half a version or house rules.

I'd suggest we make another thread for this, but I don't think that would fly, and I have bad karma with starting new threads. I don't know that it's appropriate to spam the story thread either, though...

No it wont.
