The fun part of Mr. Ratkovich is, that as a huge fan of the whole orc underground story he should be in a position to understand the perspective of an opressed minority very well. Just replace orcs or infecteds with real life groups based on skin colour, religious belief etc. etc. FWIW, Ratkovich d...

say what you want about dumpshock, but i still like that it says Topps gave them the OK to use the SR stuff, so CGL has to actually ask for permission from Topps should they decide to fuck with dumpshock. granted, it's not much, but i still like it like that ^^ Haha! Awesome. As for Africa: Here th...

Look who's back in this thread. A quick follow-up on the Review: CGL still has no editing and proofing happen, and they produce without any kind of quality control. I can only conclude they do this on purpose. American quality work, as it is. Produce as bad as you can get away with, or until the pot...

I didn't say a word about the "Westpalian Navy". On purpose... as this is not about Westphalia...and I didn't want to open that can of worms... Fair enough. But didn't they also have a huge naval arcology? For their, I dunno, sisters of battle? Or space marines? Because you can totally bu...

"Much better" as in "the most shit things removed and somewhat worthwhile stuff added in (and the milspec catalogue)". That IS much better, but is it good enough? I'm on the fence there. Also, what the hell, Sir Doom. What does Germany have all these one-hull class ships for, and...

I don't know anyone who lets people use spells from War! Pegasus won't let anyone use Slow. Because in the ranslated book it is gone . I only glanced the book, so I can't say how the other epic retard spells were changed or dropped, though. (1) Recharge: (War, 178): It sounds kinda neat and is easy...

google translate is helpful there. german -> english works a lot better than the other way. And the flying horse people seem to want to publish PDF files, too, in the near future. of course it would be better, if the german stuff got translated to english . . Certainly, if only to show Hardy off.

Hermit, I still want to work on that France fix up. If you're going to go with Nobility in France (which really.. why would you do that to France) they could at least go all Napoleonic. That might be worth something. But really, I hate every idea they've floated in the French stuff. Well, I'd like ...

Ah, it's Denver. Well, at least no place I am hugely invested in, only a place where I'm kinda sad to see it ruined, but then again, that's already been done in large parts by the Ghostwalker storyline.

Yeah, I really wondered about that, too. I first thought it was this wacko French law that forbids mentioning ethnics in government surveys somehow, but then I came across the entire district of Paris run by voodoo hoodoo people. WTF indeed. And then the Lakota tribals that have come to France .... ...

He is a city watchman. He killed one of Robert's baby-mommas and Tyrion had him thrown into the ocean to cover up Cersei's bullshit. Extremely minor character, and the only people he has defeated in combat on camera were unarmed female civilians. One of them was an infant. Ah, THAT guy! Okay, I kno...

That is no joke. The only tangible reason why Jason still has this job is because he's a Mormon, the US economy sucks and imbeciles have a hard time finding a job in the first place. As Bills said with Coleman before, he's not gonna let a underpants brother hang out to dry.

Jaime Lannister? 5 Fighting, +3B swords. That seems fairly reasonable. Barristan Selmy? 5 Fighting, +2B swords...slightly worse than Jaime. Okay... Well, yes. Selmy is the guy Jaime wanted to be when he grew up. He's a master swordsman himself, so makes sense. Brienne of Tarth (who fought Jaime to ...

They mustn't, for all I know. They SHOULD, however. Because mormon moron Jason and his strange underpants overlords are clearly incapable.

there's nothing there you can't get from the internet or just re-reading the books a lot, and some of it is complete bullshit. What in that book - what piece of background info - would be complete shit? Of course, since GRRM decided to follow suit when DNF revived, it may all be seriously dated any...

I'm still hoping they go for a slightly more believable Saxony. Less prancing [EDITED] pseudo nobles, and more nazis. And an Eastern Europe book. I want, damnit, an update on Poland, Austria and Czech Rep, I want descriptions of other countries there. Of course, never gonna happen because Jason is a...
