but his previous DM had his character raped by orcs... sooooo, he didn't play for long. Understandable, really.

Raped by orcs. how cliché.

Although, one of my character (well I should say party, since the whole group was involved) actually managed to screw up badly enough to get raped by an horny deity. Damn that was interesting. But at least my character got out of it alive.

I wish that DM would get over his funk and get back to playing D&D. Ever since he got married...... oh well.

Ok, I gotta ask. . . What online prog? Are they making another MMO or the "Insider?" The Insider looks pretty cool; I really like being able to customize and print out your character from it, but I'll withhold my opinion on the online bit until I see it in action.

The insider. As lordlundar said, it's basically an enhanced private chat. If you get the pay for version, you customize your character, play with other groups with a visual representation of the maps and your characters. I'd imagine it'll just be like a computer version of having a tabletop map, so perhaps MMO isn't quite the right word.

But it's going to help folks who don't have anyone around interested in playing to pick up groups, and it'll help me and the wife play with a couple of friends who live in different states hook up with a few sessions here and there.

One's never played D&D before, but even without reading the books has decided he wants to be a Dragonborn, cause he wants to look like a dragon. The other has played, but his previous DM had his character raped by orcs... sooooo, he didn't play for long. Understandable, really. This way, they'll both be able to play a game with my wife as DM, and she's really rather good at that whole thing.

I'm leaning towards Ranger with this iteration, maybe going Eladrin, but the race isn't decided yet. All I know is I'm not playing a Human again. (I am going to miss the Goliath I'm currently playing as, though )

any of the 40k players ready for the new edition? I've looked through the new book and liked what i see so far.

For shame, for shame. I'm still waiting for it to be release for the PC version. Bioware said they were going to release it at the same time as the PC version sale date. Naturally, it didn't happen. I want the extra stuff

Course as soon as I got home last night, I downloaded it and immersed myself in Mass Effect goodness I COULDN'T quote from. Ahhh...satisfaction achieved

[LostMyMind]

Ok, somehow I COMPLETELY MISSED that there's a new downloadable 90 minute mission for Mass Effect now available.

Curse EA, when I preordered the Full Spore Creature Creator I was informed that It'd be released on the 17th, and now, I came across an email syaing that it'd been pushed back...wait for it....5 days, may not seem a lot, but when I prepay for something, I except it to be available on the date that I was informed when i first preordered it.

UNACCEPTABLE!! *runs in circles flailing her hands*

[RayvenQ]

I can't wait till the 17th, preordered the full Creature Creator for spore, ought to keep me busy until it is released.

Well, Bioware IS working on an MMO. But they haven't revealed what yet.

I believe it's might be Dragon Age. Looks interesting. However, they been working on it for a while. So who really knows if they're going with that or not. I hope it's just a NWN style multi-players. There's way too many fantasy based world MMOs. They really need to do something completely different.

*wiggles in the gleeful hope it will be Mass Effect*

You know what I'd really really really love to see? A Mass Effect MMO.

Would be nice if bioware puts out a Pen & Paper rules. I would love to play a tabletop in mass effect world.

[LewisLegion]

Hopefully it won't suck. The market desperately lusts for a GOOD sci-fi mmo.

Amen to that. I signed up for beta too.

You know what I'd really really really love to see? A Mass Effect MMO. If it were even half as good as the RPG I'd marry it and have its babies. Srsly.

[Gravekeeper]

Sorry, I'm not going back and reading 45 pages to see if this has been discussed.

Anyone here going to play StarGate Worlds?

I'd completely forgotten about it. <applies for beta>

><

I just had the Biggest video game related laugh ever, anyone ever hear of a game called Limbo of the Lost? Yeah, don't get it, I am not kidding when I say it's pretty much ripped stuff directly out of half a dozen games or more, and what's more, they did it absoloutley blatantly, it couldn't be made anymore blatant unless they put in big sized font, on the front of the box
