In which an evil Jedi with doilies over her eyes blows an engineer out an airlock, driving Vanir to consider the most fun way to kill his teammates. (Current contender: playing Dominion, but all the treasure cards are poisoned.)
I Was A Teenage Movie Magic-User
The comments on my article on DM Fiat took an interesting turn last week when people started talking about how much more “cinematic” 4e is than previous editions. This is a claim I’d heard applied several times to 4e, but I’ve never really understood why. The combat is faster! All the classes have cool powers now, not just the casters! I can’t confirm or deny these things, but I am calling Shenanigans on them making anything more action-movie awesome on their own. As a matter of fact, I am extending these same Shenanigans to claims that any game system can do this.
