Evil Lurks

Tue, 26 Mar 2002 13:30:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lhandren - I'm a zombie-holic. I love the old Night of the Living Dead films, Evil Dead, Zombie, you name it. Why? Because for some reason, the idiotic premise of the dead walking around munching on people scares the crap out of me. I know it is silly, I know...

Overhaul Your Arcane Spellcaster!

Tue, 26 Mar 2002 12:39:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lhandren - [Review originally posted on my website, Black Falcon Aerie]

I am well aware of how bad the previous class books have been received by many players, and so I looked carefully at this book after buying it. I kept in mind some of the things...

Mind Over Matter

Tue, 26 Mar 2002 12:33:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lhandren - [Review originally posted on my website, Black Falcon Aerie]

I remember when I first found psionics. I had been playing the old Dungeons & Dragons game for years (you know, the old one, with Basic Set, Expert Set, etc.). Finally, I made the...

Welcome to Kirkwood

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lhandren - [Review originally posted on my website, Black Falcon Aerie]

A while back, I was contacted by Thunderhead Games and asked if I would like to get a preview copy of their upcoming Interludes: Brief Expeditions to Bluffside adventure. I don't...

Hail and Well Met

Tue, 26 Mar 2002 12:16:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lhandren - [Review originally posted on my website, Black Falcon Aerie]

Before delving into my review of this beast of a book (meaning H-U-G-E), I'd like to take a moment to heartily thank everyone at WotC who was involved with bringing back the dark...

A Big Adventure, Limited Scope

Tue, 26 Mar 2002 12:00:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lhandren - [Review originally posted on my website, Black Falcon Aerie]

With much excitement, I carefully opened my package. Staring up at me was the latest in the Diablo II and Dungeons & Dragons crossover. Eagerly I began devouring the knowledge...

Diablo by any other name... just isn't the same

Tue, 26 Mar 2002 11:53:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lhandren - [Review originally posted on my website, Black Falcon Aerie]

There is something about conversions. They all sound like a good idea, but they usually fall short of the original. Unfortunately, that is the case with Diablo II: Diablerie. Don't...

Devilish Delights

Tue, 26 Mar 2002 11:44:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lhandren - [Review originally posted on my website, Black Falcon Aerie]

When I received my copy of Demons & Devils, I quickly devoured the information inside. The cover artwork is very well done, a bit risqué, but I was impressed. The module does...

More effective clerics and paladins

Tue, 26 Mar 2002 11:37:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lhandren - [Review originally posted on my website, Black Falcon Aerie]

I had mixed emotions about this book. Almost all parties have clerics in them, but I've never been big on the class myself. Although I like paladins, I'm really not a fan of them...

Oh for the good ole days

Tue, 26 Mar 2002 11:30:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lhandren - Fifteen years ago, Hardee's was my favorite fast-food chain. I always wanted the Big Deluxe burger, and nothing in the world could compare to it. They had the best french fries in the industry! I used to beg my parents to let me eat there at least...

A Game so Simple...

Tue, 26 Mar 2002 09:31:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lhandren - The new version of Dungeons & Dragons is so easy to learn, I think I could teach it to a monkey. Gone are all of the confusing charts and ridiculous things like THAC0. Using the new "d20" system, the 3rd Edition finally delivers what Dungeons & Dragons...

Deja Vu, the feeling you've played this game before

Tue, 26 Mar 2002 01:54:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lhandren - I really enjoy playing this game, I'm a big Star Wars fan. In fact, I'm able to wile away hours at this game blowing up Rebellion scum and driving the wookies before my AT-AT walkers! But then, I can also spend hours playing Age of Empires II, which is...

Last Chance for a Classic

Tue, 26 Mar 2002 01:23:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lhandren - A year ago I decided to buy a sports car, and after a few months of research and looking, I decided on an F-body (which includes Chevy Camaros and Pontiac Firebirds). I bought a white 1999 Z-28 Camaro and I've loved it ever since. It is sleek, stylish...

Madness is the gift...

Mon, 25 Mar 2002 23:13:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lhandren - This is one of the Napster success stories. I stumbled upon "Voices" and listened to it several times, I knew that this band was going to be awesome! I went out and bought the CD and haven't regretted it. The CD starts off with an onslaught of catchy,...

Biased?

Mon, 25 Mar 2002 22:50:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lhandren - [This book is an RPG game product for the d20 system, compatible with Dungeons & Dragons.]

I was eager to see this book hit the shelves, as I was one of the lucky ones to have some creatures I had written and submitted to Sword & Sorcery...

Not the best movie, but it wasn't intended to be

Mon, 25 Mar 2002 19:25:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lhandren - "The One" is targeted at one main audience, martial arts action fans. Just because Jet Li was in "Lethal Weapon 4", people seem to forget where his genre lies. The movie isn't supposed to be a masterpiece, it is a story of an alternate set of universes...
