    Van Helsing

    I wondered... The guy who played Wolverine is in it, right? Do you think I would enjoy it? Keep in mind, I do like Dracula and movies of this sort. I had reservations about the movie because it seemed comic book-like on the poster. Is it worth a look?

    Robert E. Howard's Work

    Me doing Howard This reminded me of this poem i wrote... Let me dine upon sinew and marrow Let the red thirst for blood not be quenched. Stack the skulls of my foes Like trophies upon my barrow. My lust is a lust of rage Fever pitched, let me sink, gorge, fight Kill and tear to pieces The...

    Burroughs and Howard

    The Era I think this sort of writing is indicative of the American mindset at this time in history. Industrialism was beginning to really take hold of the country. Death of the frontier was evident and the death of the savage struggles loomed nearer. Naturally there was a look back...

    The Tower of the Elephant

    my interpretation My interpretation differs. I don't believe that Jung was saying something about extra-physical. I think he may have been implying the existence of what might better be called "genetic memory". These memories and ideas are so strong that they are passed on in a similar way...

    The Tower of the Elephant

    Jung Jung diverged from Freud quite profoundly, actually, though his initial ideas came from Freud. I would be interested to hear why you think some of his conclusions and ideas were inverted, as I don't see that in much of what he writes...

    The Tower of the Elephant

    Campbell and Freud I always thought Campbell to be more Jungian. Certainly Jung was fascinated by myth much more than Freud. I enjoy these studies too. I always remember from grade school, the story of Moses. He went through the same sort of trial in many ways. He was relatively innocent...

    Road of Kings!

    Congratulations! Congratulations, Vince! You've worked hard and deserve every bit of it. They say that persistence will win over talent, but fortunately for you, you are both talented and tenacious, and with that combination, there is no stopping a man. Mark

    Danger

    Funny you should ask... This is going to probably come across as a smartask comment, but have you ever considered just writing fiction? Yes. I have written many short stories and one novel. I am currently editing the novel in hopes of publishing it. Though, the road is long and I see no...

    Danger

    I only wrote... I only wrote what I did because it seemed that you were still attempting to defend certain aspects of the game. I did not know that so many people were unhappy with the way things were and that so many people wanted to do other things. I asked many times if people wanted to go...

    Danger

    As I said As I said. I AGREE that danger and conflict is necessary. This will go nowhere. I thought maybe we could discuss it without emotion and hurt feelings, but I guess we can not. I was just making an observation, Vince. There is no need for defensiveness. I agree with you on many...

    Danger

    I am not complaining... I was only posting a thoughtful message which you perceive as complaining. You insult me with your "just keep quitting and complaining, I'm sure you will get somewhere" comment. I did quit. And now I have started my own campaign. It is fun. I got somewhere! I left...

    Danger

    That was good... A thoughtful post, and true. This is why I thought I'd try my own hand at DMing for a while, and so far, I think everyone is having fun and trusts me. I am having a blast, a thing I never thought would happen as a DM. The way I am thinking about it, now, though, is that I...

    Danger

    I see... I agree that danger is a necessary element in story telling. However, creating constant threats in a man's home is not necessary. You seem to discount the character's own inner drive to do things. You say that without a sense of danger, character's have no motivation, but this is...
