    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

    Lessee. If you want Jedi stuff, check out the Dark Side Sourcebook (pre Revised tho), Power of the Jedi and some of the Hero's Guide (3 PrC's I think). If you want races out the wazoo then Ultimate Alien Anthology. As for some inspiration, try picking up the Dark Horse trades of Knights of the...

    What about the wizard played by Mako in the 2 Conan movies?

    Help me create a weapon of mass destruction

    The Buckminsterfullerene is considered C60 (should be a subscript). I'm guessing including CsCl would be similar to naming a caged molecule but I can't remember offhand. I think its something like C60[CsCl]. There's also bigger buckyballs like C70, C76, C78, C80 and C84 on the lowend.

    [OT] How much of history do we really know?

    I've read that the diary popped up around the mid 50s during the Davey Crocket craze. Seems kinda coincidental like the Piltdown man.

    So how close was Underworld to White Wolf's setting?

    White Wolf can't put too much claim on Abomination since Marvel Comics has had it way longer. But that'd be a frivoulous lawsuit considering the two Abominations have little in common, unlike the Hulk connection (Incredible Hulk vs. Hulk Hogan) listed elsewhere, if it's true.

    DragonBall Z Live-Action Movie

    This would be the second live action movie set in the Dragonball universe. The first seems more worthy of MST3k-ing. I've seen it at Suncoast but I'm waiting til it hits a bargin bin, were I to get it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122050/ Hopefully FOX's DBZ movie ends up better tho I'd rather...

    3 years after 3.0 - race/class combinations.

    I think I had the oddest combination the campaigns so far: halfling monk. The other DMs don't seem to be so keen on non PHB races. *sulks*

    Worst sequel in movie history.

    The remake was the result of a court case over who owned the Bond franchise. MGM still owns it but the writer/producer of Thunderball was granted sequel rights to Thunderball. Thus Never Say Never Again. You'd have to dig to find the original ruling but I found an E! news article from 1998...

    White Wolf sues Sony over the movie "Underworld"

    I can't believe I didn't think of this before. Evercrack, er, Everquest is a product of Sony Online Entertainment while the Everquest RPG is produced by Sword & Sorcery Studios. Admittedly EQ RPG isn't near the cashcow that the WoD is but doesn't that seem kinda strange?

    White Wolf sues Sony over the movie "Underworld"

    I decided to do some 'research' and rewatch the first Blade movie. :D They changed Blade's origin from the comic some but not noticeably AFAIK. In the comic, Deacon Frost was an old man for example. A member of 'vampire board of directors' refers to the vampire nation. Since each board...

    Best sequel in movie history.

    Best Sequel? I'll chime in with those who've said Evil Dead 2 or Army of Darkness. The Last Crusade - Raiders of the Lost Ark was a tough act to follow. Silence of the Lambs since earlier was Manhunter, later remade as Red Dragon. Desperado (El Mariachi was first) so I'm hoping Once Upon a...

    Worst sequel in movie history.

    Ok, maybe I'm backpedaling a bit but Black Mask 2 did have some semi decent fight scenes. However, they went WAY overboard with the rubber monster costumes and CGI. As for Iron Monkey 2, keep fast forwarding til you get to a fight scene and when its over, repeat for the next one. :D IIRC, the...

    Worst sequel in movie history.

    I can think of a few that haven't been mentioned. The originals are probably close to cult movies. Black Mask 2: City of Masks - A sequel to the Jet Li movie but this one has a newcomer (Andy On) as the lead character but also had Traci Lords and at least 2 professional wrestlers: Tyler Mane...

    Simon Belmont comes to D&D...

    Was the vamp hunter a spellcaster? I remember someone could cast (I think) lighting, cold and fire spells and was armed with a quarterstaff. Or was he (she?) the fourth character? Symphony was great! Good mood music too.

    Blood and Fists: Style Suggestions

    Gun Fu? I wouldn't mind other ideas like the Hanmei, perhaps touching a bit into Wuxia or Chanbara style campaigns?

    White Wolf sues Sony over the movie "Underworld"

    Possibly Blade from Marvel Comics. They did it in the movies, which may have been influenced by V:tM. Vampire clans with certain characteristics were also used in the Soul Reaver series as the 'offspring' of Kain specialized in certain powers like one clan was no longer harmed by water and...

    White Wolf sues Sony over the movie "Underworld"

    Wandering offtopic now The Hulkster reminded me of another. WWE also had a 'blood drinking' vampire themed wrestler named Gangrel, which was licensed from White Wolf. Since the World Wildlife Fund now has the rights to WWF, I think any wrestling game that had WWF now has to change or get sued...

    White Wolf sues Sony over the movie "Underworld"

    Previous possibly frivolous lawsuits, which most probably know about were: Viacom suing White Wolf because of the similarity between the Aeon RPG and Aeon Flux cartoon thus the namechange to Trinity. Todd MacFarland suing Palladium Books because of the similarity between the Nightspawn RPG and...

    Neat Historical Artifacts for a game

    I'm sure some of these have been mentioned by now but here's my additions: An actual Martian landing pod that Orson Welles warned about during his radio program. Complete with nifty Martian weaponary like a heat ray and black powder. H. G. Wells' time machine with a morlock skeleton nearby...
