Are you tragically hip? Do people constantly ask you why you are so cool? Are you balding? Do you sit for hours contemplating the Kyle Rayner/Hal Jordan Green Lantern Debate? Do you know how to calculate damage from an undead spell of a level 9 cleric? Baby, have we got a blog for you. Geek Speak is where the world of Geekdom comes alive. ...
(Wizards of the Coast) The new set of Star Wars Miniatures , Knights of the Old Republic , hit today and Ben, Chris and I have already plucked down for booster packs with mixed results.

He's a Force 5 character, so should you succeed the first time you get two chances to bring him back. Too sick. And too tempting.
