He's playing on carebear difficulty.

Luckily, they have explained how +1 weapons and armor work, and also note that even these "plain" magic items should be rare.

I consulted with several psychohistorians, and they all say the same thing. Chaos leads to chaos.

"Define 'interesting.'"

Harassment = unwanted behavior, guys. I don't want to be told about arrows in the knee for the 100th time. Stop harassing me.

Shorter version: never write anything about swords, ever.

So basically no weapons at all. I see these kinds of articles a lot. How about actually giving some examples of what you think are good ideas as weapons along side of what you think should go. Very one sided here.

Just remember guys, if a weapon in a story has any significance or an element to make it different from others, you are doing it wrong. Wouldn't want to have too much fun in our fantasies....

As much as I can't stand the film:

They haven't met - She saved his life, by keeping them from being fed to lions. when she was watching him perform with penny.

The only winning move is not to play.

I'm going to echo a comment I made yesterday on the article about "anachronistic" future technologies, like video payphones.

I'm Josh! Recently laid off, but also recently signed by a small publishing house for a novel, so there's that. It's a hardboiled, Buddhist-tinged cyberpunk murder mystery, Buddhas Dream of Enlightened Sheep. (The title was a joke from my writing group. I like the noir tropes and was playing them up... So lots of rain…

I don't find this change sudden, maybe more for the movies but not for books about dracula. Vampires in general have been far more sympathetic for decades. And I don't think the phenomenon of turning the villain into the hero is a new tactic for Hollywood/entertainment industry. It definetly let's viewers feel…

I'm certainly not saying it is a historical film by any means. But could it be that it is borrowing from history moreso than from Bram Stokers book- which WAS written through the filter of the political landscape of his time- as a way to differentiate itself from the traditional western take on Dracula?

Right! So ripping it up for what it DID get right seems kind of silly. My joke detector is wonky today, was this article supposed to be sarcasm? (serious question, I'm not being an ass)

isn't it pretty strange how Alucard from 'Hellsing' somehow remains one the most faithful adaptations of Dracula? I'm even starting to believe it's more faithful to the historical Vlad than any of these movies that supposedly portray him
