    Converting prehistoric animals

    Well, Albertosaurus was practically identical to Gorgosaurus, so I'd say the stats are interchangeable. If you wanted to make them different, maybe just give it a different feat selection (say, Improved Natural Attack instead of Improved Critical, like the Tyrannosaurus). As for Tarbosaurus...

    What fantasy stories are should be done next on the big screen?

    The Hobbit, natch. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing struggle to obtain the film rights, along with Weta Digital being preoccupied with all their other projects (Halo, Evangelion, the inevitable Prince Caspain), I'm not holding my breath.

    G4TV Does It Again

    Eh, they jumped the shark long ago. *shrug* I had no reason to watch G4 after they canned Portal, anyway. :mad: "You have my axe! You have my axe! You have my axe!!!" -- Stumpy

    Converting monsters from the second edition Monstrous Compendiums

    Control temperature appears as a spell in Frostburn, but I don't think that helps much. Doesn't the shatjan in the CC have an ability like that? EDIT: Here it is. Lower Temperature (Su): As a free action, once per round, the shatjan can lower the temperature by 10 degrees in a 10-foot radius...

    The movie indrusy is racist aginst dwarves. (rant/ humor)

    Ghim was awesome... but he got offed too. At least he died a hero and saved Leylia, even if Karla got away. :( Slanter, from Wishsong of Shannara, yeah. I liked him. For the most part though, I think gnomes have been shafted even more in Brooks's books. There were only three or four of them...

    The movie indrusy is racist aginst dwarves. (rant/ humor)

    You know, I guess you could say that dwarves always get the short end of the stick. *runs for cover* :p :lol:

    The movie indrusy is racist aginst dwarves. (rant/ humor)

    Reading Terry Brooks's Shannara series when I was younger, I couldn't help but notice that almost all of his dwarf characters get killed off by the end of the story. I can only think of a couple of exceptions. There are two things you can always count on with a Terry Brooks novel: 1) there will...

    Good Fantasy anime

    Rune Soldier Louie was actually created by the same fellow who created Record of Lodoss War (in fact they're set on the same world, albeit on different continents, and neither series openly says it straight out), Ryo Mizuno, who definately knows his way around D&D-style fantasy. I haven't seen...

    New Adult Swim -- What do you think?

    I dunno. I'm no stranger to 80s/early-90s anime... my first exposure to the medium was Project A-Ko and Record of Lodoss War, and I loved both. My favorite animated show right now is Mobile Police Patlabor. Eva just doesn't grab me. I'll keep watching because I've heard it gets better (I've only...

    New Superman Returns Pics!

    Or could it be Bizarro with plastic surgery and a wardrobe change?

    New Adult Swim -- What do you think?

    I watch Adult Swim just about every night. Not because I'm really into it, but because there's just not anything else on that entertains me. I don't care for most of their "homegrown" cartoons (Mouse, Squid, ATHF, Hair). ATHF disturbs me, and I just don't have any interest at all in the other...

    Superman I & II: not all that

    Huh. I always thought Midway City was in Michigan for some reason.

    Converting Epic Level Beings

    There was actually a book full of them ("Blood Spawn" I think) that TSR published online, like the Red Steel setting. In the printed books, though, yeah... there couldn't have been more than two dozen non-unique monsters, tops. The majority were unique awnsheighlien.

    what is your favorite Final Fantasy game and why ?

    FF9 was my favorite, because it's the only one I've played.

    Converting Epic Level Beings

    I think Lekiniskiy would be interesting for a few reasons, not least because it would be the first Birthright monster in the CC that I can think of.

    Forbes rank the 15 riches FICTIONAL Character!

    Indeed. I'm pretty sure that three cubic acres of gold bullion, plus his various holdings, is way more than $8.2 mil.

    Videogames that you'd like to see made into movies.

    A good animated movie based on Super Mario Bros. might be fun. Zelda and Metroid are no-brainers. And I would die for a good movie based on the original Final Fantasy. Oh, and a Lord of the Rings: Return of the King movie. That game rocked. :D

    Superman I & II: not all that

    What disappointed me most about Luthor's representation in the film was that he was played for laughs, with his screwball henchpeople and bad quips. The "criminal mastermind" thing got across just fine, and Gene Hackman gave a fine performance, but I took exception at Lex being portrayed in such...

    Superman I & II: not all that

    To me it seemed like nothing less than mental rape. A foreshadowing of Identity Crisis if you ask me.
