There are samples of James Marsters' readings on Mr Butcher's website. http://www.jim-butcher.com/books/dresden/1/ http://www.jim-butcher.com/books/dresden/2/ I find it really weird to hear his voice when he's not doing an English accent. :D

If you are looking for an additional/new player, I'd be interested. I am trying to get into a PbP game on rpg.net, but the person running it seems to be trying to start about 6 games at once and I don't think it looks too promising. (edit: just to include as much information as possible if I...

Bwahaha, just wait till you find out what happens to marron in book 2. :D I have the UK/Canadian paperbacks... if you end up wanting the whole series you might get them cheaper from amazon.ca. Tower of the King's Daughter, Feast of the King's Shadow, and Hand of the King's Evil.

My favorites: 1) Lupin III - it's just plain fun 2) Cowboy Bebop 3) Trigun 4) Spirited Away I also liked Akira, Dominion Tank Police(?), Ninja Scroll, Macross Plus, Naruto, and probably some others I've forgotten... but the ones above I like a lot more.

I think a speed of 25' for medium armour is not a bad idea. The only issue is how does it scale up or down for small/large characters? Random thought: it'd be neat to change the speed limit by armour to something that determined movement speed based on the Strength of the character and the...

Well, nothing on TV, that's for sure. I just dropped my cable TV packaage entirely because I'm moving in a month, and don't anticipate watching anything on TV. If I somehow find myself feeling rich I might buy the 2nd season of Farscape on DVD, but I think I'd rather take that with me as...

Some good titles have been suggested... my addition to the list would be Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter

Take the laugh point. :D

The test subject from the Guardians was pretty clearly one of the Guardians with cellular decay. Archer made a point of this to the Xindi Council.

I thought the episode overall was just average - not as good as some of the recent ones. And the ending? Next season? I like Nazis, but this is just stupid. To me, this is probably Enterprise jumping over the shark tank. Maybe a second time. They had an opportunity to get back on track and...

A History of the Ancient Near East... volume 2! :) Reading about the Neo-Assyrians now, which is pretty interesting. Nasty bunch. ... I need a good novel. I've been reading some Greek mythology (Robert Graves' Greek Myths, skipping his wacky interpretations) but no novels recently. I really...

I don't know if the myths actually say whether the beauty contest happened immediately or if some time passed. But yeah, mythical time doesn't always make sense. :) I think there's a version of the myth in which the Greeks try to sail from Aulis but can't, and end up waiting 10 years there...

I also say go for it. :) If you're creating a setting INSPIRED by history then you don't have to use historical names and what have you, and I think the ambience is great. I can't remember exactly when, but the Romans did develop cavalry units to patrol the deserts... or maybe that was in the...

There were originally a number of other poems in the "epic cycle" which described events leading up to the war, the war itself, and after. Most of these are lost, but fragments do exist, and there are works collecting them if you're REALLY serious. e.g...

Yeah, parody/satire is a special case. You guys might get a chuckle out of this appearance in Order of the Stick (Actually the whole damn comic is very funny.) http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=30 Read the two following comics as well. #32 is the real kicker. :)

Very true. I hope that everyone voting for it has the beautiful restored Special Edition DVD of the movie... truly the way that old movies deserve to be treated. Here's my try at a list, partly helped by films that others have mentioned who I agree with. (Arsenic and Old Lace! YES! "No, no...

Fortunately you are very wrong. :) To me, The Deed of Paksennarion is the Primer of Paladin-ness. Go ask how many of the people in the Fantasy/SF forum have read it.

My personal preference for a swashbuckling game would be to inject politics and duelling... If the evil church gets their hands on the whistle, what next? What are their ultimate plans for it/them - use magic from the Fey realm to take over the kingdom? And are they really going to leave...

My $0.02 - the GM is being unnecessarily obstructive. Animals which aren't combat trained will run away in combat. That's it. If a combat-trained animal is not being controlled, it will still not run away. If there's a ranger in the party or an animal trainer available, it will not take THAT...

Um... what? Much as I like the idea, I don't think so. Marsters is a bit of a fan favourite for casting as "Erik" Dresden in an adaptation of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files novels for TV. (In the novels, the protagonist is Harry Dresden. Oh well.) Marsters did the reading for some (all?) of...
