Ah ha, but Mr. Depp is 40, and quite a few pirate captains were in their early twenties! Though all that sun - based on Captain Sparrow's bronzed appearance - would likely have had some aging effect that a film actor reliant on self-tanners can avoid. :) I really enjoyed the film, as did my...

That didn't have the feel of a "free action" to me. The basic gymnastic technique is pretty removed from an effective combat version, I would imagine.

Sounds very promising - this is my favorite (sub-)genre, and it certainly needs some more strong entries for those home-viewing swashbuckler-fests. :)

Very tough. I'll go with Vance's "Demon Princes" novels . . .

I was an extra in a film ("Foreign Affairs" - made for cable I think) while I was doing a graduate degree in Oxford. Through some odd concatenation of events, I spent part of a day acting as tour guide for one of the stars: Eric Stolz. Spending a lot of time in LA, I've bumped into quite a few...

The Man with No Name . . .

Iucounu the Laughing Magician.

Enkidu.

Boston is definitely a good area for gaming. I DM one group and play in another (with no overlap with Piratecat's group): my group had two regular female players (out of five) and the one I play in has three (out of seven). Indeed, the actual ratio of male to female players is 50/50, since...

Something "Indian" Smoke Shop - to get us one step closer. The rather curious but extensive collection of gaming materials there, in combination with Harrison's Comics, makes Salem a veritable Mecca of New England Gaming. Don't forget to visit the "Witch House" (a historic house owned by the...

Harrison's Comics in Salem . . . no parking lot though. I like this one a lot more than Pandemonium.

I asked my wife, who plays in the Saturday game that I DM, the same question and was interested, if not as surprised as you, that her answer was also an emphatic and immediate "No." My wife is very strong-willed as well, Yale-educated and quite successful both professionally and creatively...

Well-played. *applauds*

Interesting! The "fully detailed player character merchant rules" just leapt out at me. Having spent a good bit of my life in "business" - I must say that the publication being discussed in this thread, for all its potential flaws, at the very least promises more interesting diversion than...

Byzantium is usually held to have been founded in the 6th or 7th century BC. You are thinking of its *renaming* as Constantinople perhaps . . .

:( Seeing Vance's writing described as "sub-par" made me strangely sad.

Wow, Carrot Top! Imagine that kind of creative energy at the table -- and, to think, an EN-boarder to boot!

Sunday Game (Small Spoiler) SPOILER Great job, Lazybones. Your adventure ably demonstrates the potential of the game engine: I (being on this occasion known as "Pardero") and my adventuring companions had a great time! Excitement, adventure, grumpy dwarves, and loads of...

Thanks, Piratecat! I have been lurking about, and reading about the various Boston get-togethers with interest. I really need to download the Progressquest thing when I am home. Sounds fun!
