LEON, known here in the US as THE PROFESSIONAL. The hitman in question was played by Jean Reno.

My general term for "arcane magic-user" is "sorcerer." I know it's a D&D class, but the way I figure it, the "sorcerer" thing can be a label for anyone who uses arcane magic, such as wizards, bards, warlocks, and sorcerers.

Constitution in the sense of something other than a body of laws for running a government or nation.

Any of Nicole Horne's intercom speeches from the final level of Max Payne, but especially: Nicole Horne: What do you mean, "he's unstoppable?" You are superior to him in every way that counts. You are better trained, better equipped, and you outnumber him at least twenty to one. DO YOUR JOB...

"Gods-cursed, one-trick sorcerous dabblers!" This was the response of Lendaucis, the party wizard of my Wushu-powered D&D game on the RPG.net boards, to Saernan, my two-wand sorcerous investigator whose specialty is divination (it's worth noting that Wushu lets you get away with crazier...

I wholeheartedly agree with this, especially the statement that opens the second paragraph. Being a hero means recognizing that something needs to be done in order to stop whatever evil is happening -- and then going out and DOING IT, using whatever approach best suits you and the situation at hand.

By "three piece rod," do you mean a three-sectional staff?

My metal tastes run the gamut from classic (Black Sabbath, Ozzy, old-school Metallica, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden), 80s hair (Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison), 90s grunge (new Metallica, Nirvana, Offspring), and some of the turn-of-the-century stuff such as Disturbed, Rammstein (Du Hast and...

Yep. And corruption is EVERYWHERE in noir. The police. The media. The church. The politicians. The corporations. The labor unions. And definitely the mob. A smart person would get the hell out of your average noir city before it devours him whole, but there are always ties that bind someone to...

You said it, especially given the other meaning of "manhood!" :]

Ray Winninger in his Dungeoncraft articles once upon a time said that it's important not to force yourself to create more than you need at once, and to include a secret for each major element of the setting that you introduce. One of the elements that I really liked from the first setting that...

If you try to pin the medusa from behind so that she's face-down on the floor, chances are, she won't be able to use her gaze-attack on you if you hold her head down "like so," but those snakes she has for hair will be able to attack you if you do so. If you try to pin her from the front so...

Now I've got this picture of someone swearing an oath of vengeance and then putting on a red headband as a kind of symbolic gesture before going out and pursuing the oath.

Those bard songs are definitely cool, and the song of Harold the Herald, the "knight without a sword," is definitely going to see use somewhere in my games.

I have Ars Magica 4E, both the free download and the dead-tree edition (and I bought the dead-tree edition at least a few months to a year before downloading the electronic version).

Iron Heroes is definitely available from Barnes and Noble. I snagged up my copy from the Barnes and Noble in Onalaska just yesterday. They had only one copy remaining on the shelf when I arrived. I didn't see the other book I had come for (Spycraft 2.0), so Iron Heroes was my only RPG purchase...

Sam Neill from Event Horizon and several other movies which I cannot now remember. And Gary Oldman, one delightfully creepy SOB from The Professional, Dracula, and several other movies where he plays the bad dude.

And speaking of Feng Shui... There's a free PDF on the Atlas Games site that goes over the special D20 rules used in the Burning Shaolin adventure, including rules for Faceless Hordes and wildassed stunts.

Music that creates swords and other cool stuff?! Dammit, now you've got me wanting to see this movie!
