The old arcade game Cyberball. That would be very cool. Football. With robots. And an exploding ball. Yep. Cool.

Gruff- I dont know how old you are, or if its been mentioned in the thread. I know you alluded to having "jock" friends from high school, etc. That to me seems a bit telling. "Gamers" can be jocks too, or former jocks. Gamers in fact, especially as they get older, could be almost anyone...

The Conquering Sword of Conan. Alas its the last of the yearly Conan reprints. Whatever shall I do now :(

OK mores coming. But the Holiday season is eating much of my time, and I need to retrieve my game notes from my DM.

Well, while Superman I and II arent the best supers movies made, I still kinda like II. I is very slow, but it suffers from being an origin story. The whole series is very Silvery Agey, which can turn off todays audience. 3 and 4? Ewwww. But how can you not like Terence Stamp? Bow before...

I may not have been clear. Video game conversions arent necessarily doomed. It just seesm the people who adapt them either dont get the source material, or the source material is so thin that its just hard to make into a movie. As an aside it struck me funny that Doom was made into a movie...

11. A Slight Detour The plan was a litle weak, but we had all agreed on it. We explained to Honora. She looked tired but promised to stay locked in the room with her brother. I hadnt properly thanked her for her help back at Gyger's. Id have to remember to correct that. Ideally, I would have...

Youre very lucky then. Id love to be able to come to his stuff fresh again. Larry Mcmurtry is teh cool. IMHO. A guy that can write The Last Picture Show, Lonsome Dove, Terms of Endearment, and the screenplay for Brokeback Mountain has some skills.

I second drothgery. None. While games are growing more cinematic and sophisticated, their interactive format, dont seem to translate into stron movies, which have a more focused singular vision for storytelling. Many games especially rpgs have given us rich plots (like Knights of the old...

Yeh! A western thread! Anything by John Ford. Even his later weaker stuff is pretty good. But with John Wayne its probably some of the greatest stuff on film. And for people who may not like the Duke his John Ford stuff is worth seeing. My favorites: Stagecoach- almost the Ur-Western "The...

LOL. Yes I was being sarcastic. Wait-I mean, sarcasm? I dont know what you mean.....

10a. Better Living Through Planning I stood staring at the letter as Anvil placed it back on the table. "This does establish that Guttman and Hennet knew each other." he mused. "And that Voren was associated with Guttman. I wonder how well Hennet knew Voren?" And Koba, I thought. Someone knew...

I dont know what you mean 12 or 13 has absolutely no meaning in Eberron :)

The letter was written in Draconic. It was dated from about four months ago. Anvil took it and read aloud, slowly : Hennet, I hope this letter shall be well recieved. I ask only that you put aside any acrimony that may have resulted from past quarrels. If I may be so bold, your old teacher...

Anvil and Dorbo began an excited and detailed inspection of the figurine, as Bynara looked on distastefully. "Aren't dragons rumored to be noble looking or something? That thing looks grotesque." "Is it ceramic?, no clay.... what is the best way to determine age? A few slight cracks, some...

Thanks. I think the writing thing is a bit beyond me, but it is fun to try to piece together a game into a story narrative. The noir ish aspect is alot of fun to play in which is kind of the appeal of Eberron and its "magic as science vibe"- you can be a little more anachronistic than you can...

LOL. How very true.

With that, the room's door opened. Brother, sister, and shifter entered, slightly damp. Hennet held a large parcel, squarish, wrapped in yellowed copies of the Chronicle, tied with twine. Bynara's eyes met mine. "I see youre up." Hennet placed the parcel down heavily on the table. Dorob's...

I awoke the next morning to the sound of rain. Looking at the timepiece on the wall I could see it was nearly midday. I was hungover. Last night or (earlier that day, depending on your view) the four of us had stayed up late drinking several bottles of the excellent Anduairian wine Honora had...

10. Intermission Stop me if youve heard this one before. A guy meets a girl. Girl has lost brother. Guy and friends look for brother. Along the way they encounter a hobgoblin dandy , a dwarven pimp, flesheating fishmen, and a greasy bookseller. They find the brother who, incidentaly, is crazy...
