Quite an interesting thread, with many overlapping favorites. My favs are: -Tearjerker= An Affair to Remember (Cary Grant/Deborah Kerr version) -Samurai = Seven Samurai (classic!) -Fantasy = The Princess Bride and LotR trilogy (not so serious and serious together) -Comedy = Jay and Silent Bob...

I chose James Bond. Favorite incarnations for me are Sean Connery, followed closely by Pierce Brosnan.

Nice thread :) I'm AelyaShade, also known as Alma in that dreaded thing called the real world. I'm 33, live in Illinois, married with 2 daughters, and work in the Physical Therapy field outside of gaming time. I started gaming on the PC about 15 years ago (hubby's fault...he was stuck on a...

Please sign me up for the "Lost Temple of Ixtapolapocetl" in the AM. Also, can I be signed up for 4 slots for the "Dungeon! 3-D" game in the PM? My whole family would like to play that one (to include 2 younger players). Thanks and can't wait to play! :)

From the choices given by the OP, I'd choose something along the lines of a hybrid Inuyasha/Rurouni Kenshin style of anime. Outside the box, I'd vote for a Pixar attempt. Barring that, may I also suggest something similar to Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Time to pop in the old D&D...

-From FotR: " It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing." (Boromir) -From TTT: "He was twitching because he's got my axe buried in his nervous system!" (Gimli) -From RotK: "I am no man." (Eowyn)

I thought it was a decent storyline, having the inventor of the transporter on board to touch upon the history of the transporter. I was hoping he would have had a debate with the chief of security, though (half expected this), since, IIRC from the first episode, the chief of security had an...

Along the previous poster's lines, I'd suggest Josh Stone's version of the White Stripes "Fell in Love With a Girl". Appropriately enough, it's titled "Fell in Love with a Boy". You could also try anything from Lacuna Coil. "I Will Survive" is always a crowd pleaser as well. :)

So you're all sitting in a tavern and ... ...when all of a sudden, a hazy, grey mist envelops the table your party is sitting at, along with the two adjacent tables with their customers as well. ...the lights from the makeshift stage catch your attention, as the tavern wenches begin a saucy...

Great selection of proposed games, y'all. Can't wait for sign-ups! Will be there with family and possibly a couple friends in tow.

In the campaign I am currently in, I play a sorceror and another player plays a wizard. Unless we are addressing each other specifically by name in game (keep those roleplay points coming!), we find ourselves mocking each other in game to further convey both the differences in class and for...

Yay! Definitely going with the whole family. Let the countdown begin. :)

More thanks! Great replies! It definitely sounds as though our DM has been using the wrong calculations for encounters for our group, which would explain why we have only had 2 encounters thus far that have made our group sweat. (Not to mention our DM's admittedly bad rolling on his side of...

Thank you all! My evil DM has been informed of your many helpful hints to make my group's adventures more challenging. Many, many thanks! One more question, if it's not too much trouble. Should he take into consideration the group's 3 familiars when deciding upon a specific CR or EL? (The...

For the DM's out there... What challenge rating of monsters would you throw at a group of 5 adventurers, all at level 5 (3 with familiars)? So far, our DM has been using the challenge rating out of the DM guide and has found that whatever monsters/enemies he throws our way is not challenging...

With a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids), we spent a total of $600, not including badges, which were pre-paid. We stayed at a Holiday Inn which was about a 10 minute drive from the convention center. For 5 days, it cost us $325. (Got there on Wednesday and didn't leave till Sunday.) We drove there...

Many thanks to those who made this event possible. My family and I had a great time! (Poor hubby did all the driving today on 1 hour of sleep and by the time we left at 4pm, he only had a few more hours of sleep before work this evening. However, he said the lack of sleep was worth it, since he...

Still planning on going but the time isn't as certain. Thus, I hope I can squeeze into a game if possible. Really looking forward to the event! (On a side note, hubby and kiddies won't be able to join in on any game because of my daughters' acting class.) Depending on what time we can get there...

Still planning on going, mainly to meet up with those who attend as well. Unfortunately, I won't be able to participate in any games, as I have to get my daughters to extra-curricular class at around 1pm.

Re: Reidzilla, Halma, et al My daughters are 11 and 12. Their exposure to pen and paper rpg's have been Meddling Kids and a homebrew game my husband has set up to introduce them to the joys of D&D. My 12 year old has a penchant for playing druids while my 11 year old prefers warrior-types...
