    That's what I've read too. Here's a good link for upcoming movie news. http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/

    I never thought....

    Vader's "Now I am the Master" speech to Obi-Wan in ANH has always sounded petulant to me. Think about it. He pokes at Obi-Wan's robes and stomps off. Vader or Anakin, 20 years later he's still an arrogant git who needs a good swift kick in the tush.

    (SL) Ghelspad Atlas Hardcover

    You guys are so lucky. Our SL campaign wrapped up last month. We'll be playing Star Wars d20 for the summer and might pick up our old characters in the fall. An entire summer with no SL fix. And I just know all these new SL products are really cool. Are there more city supplements coming...

    [OT] NHL Stanley Cup Finals

    My boss is a huge soccer fan and a former player himself. He's been getting up and watching the games at 5 am. I've been trying to get into it, but it's hard to learn a game from scratch. I understand now what it must have been like for Americans in Texas, Tennessee et al when they landed...

    Asking myself "Why?" about gaming lately...

    Thanks, Nightfall. Doc, whatever you decide you *need* to do, talk to the DM first. Talk to the other players. Let them know you're feeling burned out. Taking a week or two off might be the best thing for the group as a whole. Henry has a good idea there. My group's occasionally taken a...

    Asking myself "Why?" about gaming lately...

    Tom, I think you need a break from your current group maybe even from D&D entirely. It sounds like there's too much real life friction between everybody. Take a break before it starts to affect relationships away from the table. Trust me. I was in Holy Bovine's campaign that broke up five...

    Am I completely off base?

    Since you're working on your own stuff and there's two other players who want a change, you could try dm'ing a second campaign and run it once a month. Otherwise, point out to the group that you and the other two are always getting outvoted. Since the three of you probably represent about half...

    Just got Harry Potter on tape and...

    I don't think he cast any spells either. However, Ron's family are all wizards and his older brothers have taught him spells. Hermione is a Muggle like Harry, but her parents are ok with it and let her buy and study her books before heading off to Hogwarts. Harry knows no magic before coming...

    FOTR DVD extras...

    I wanted them to package the theatre and the director's cut together, but I wasn't holding my breath. I wasn't surprised to hear they're releasing the two versions separately. I just don't want to see them releasing a special edition next year, a platinum edition the following year and the...

    I never thought....

    I agree. In TPM he seemed like an annoying distraction from the main characters. The heroes used him as a guide and otherwise ignored him. Jar Jar is a happy go lucky guy who's not very clever but he wants to help. In AotC, none of his old friends spare him any time. They leave him out of...

    [Spoilers?] Great stuff in trailers that aren't in movies

    Count me in that minority too. I want a general idea of the story. I want to be introduced to the characters. I don't want them giving away the big plot twists. I don't want to know the ending. Remember What Lies Beneath or the Negotiator? Both of them gave away a major plot twist in the...

    [OT] NHL Stanley Cup Finals

    OMG. Two goals in 13 seconds! I thought the second goal was just a replay for a moment there. Wow. That's why Detroit will win this series. The Wings have the talent and the experience to bust a game open like that.

    AERUNEDAR: The Curse of Hathos

    Glad to hear you guys are continuing. This has always been a truly unique and underappreciated story hour. What's an Auspician? I've never heard of that class before.

    Star Wars - Wrath of the Rebellion

    Are there Star Wars minis out there? We just started a SW campaign and we were scrambling for something sci-fi looking to use on the battlemat. If not, does anybody have any suggestions?

    Defenders of Daybreak, The Early Years.

    I hope you can continue posting stories about the Defenders earlier exploits. It's fascinating to see the world-shaking, army massacring, do it all and rescue stray kittens too heroes matched up against people they'd squash like a bug nowadays. Thanks, Bandeeto.

    "Out of the Frying Pan" - Book II: Catching the Spark (Part Two) - {complete}

    Nemm, you mentioned that Kazrack didn't *ever* share the results with the rest of the party. How many sessions ahead is your group? Are you going to tell us what he learned?

    [OT] NHL Stanley Cup Finals

    I think it'll be the Wings in 6. The 'Canes aren't going to play doormat for Detroit, but they just don't have enough talent to beat the Wings.

    Are u a reader or writer or both?

    So far, I only read the SHs. I follow eight or nine of them on a regular basis (the joys of being underemployed). When I started lurking last summer, our campaign was nearly two years old which is a little much to recap. We played our second session of a new Star Wars campaign on Sunday. If...
