I'll second The Others. Very atmospheric and creepy. Sleepy Hollow is also excellent, but I'm generally a Tim Burton fan. Blair Witch is very much a love or hate movie. No soundtrack, it's not written according to the normal rules all Hollywood movies have to be written by. This can be a...

A tiny bit of remorse, yes. Given everything he did, it's not much. A classic theme is what would some people do if they felt they could get away with anything without any consequences. In Covenant's case, it's a free hand to be a mean spirited bastard. Hannibal Lector is more of a hero.;)

If it drops faster than Matrix: Reloaded I'll be impressed. That movie set records for dropping after a strong opening. I don't think Hulk has to worry about making a profit.

The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. Easily. Dark, depressing and with very little to redeem it. Even worse than the first series. Which is a shame, the world is very cool. Take TC out of the books and put in someone interesting a reader could empathize with a little and it could be a...

Despite the bandit’s tactical edge, the battle was short, sharp and not to their advantage. Raven’s deadly arrows dropped two of the archers on the top of the house. The burly thug with the flying guillotine was taken care of by a Fireblossom dominate person. Then one of his attacks snatched...

“We didn’t find much of anything! A slight magical aura, but long faded. No secret supplies or documents. And they attacked us right after they got back to the camp, they must have been spying on us somehow.” The out of breath spy said. Malachai drew himself up to his full three feet, six...

The vision could work as well as the reality, based on the blurb it's hard to say which is appearing in the movie. In my own experience with the average movie goer, if it's the real body o' Boromir in his Boat, very few will bother to wonder how he stayed inside the boat.

If they were going to make a movie, the time was now. Viktor was being healed by one of the clerics in his faction. Fireblossom was ready. Vlad was ready. Toshiro was kind of ready, while half wishing he was helping the Yabanjin against the Inu. If they attacked Viktor they could probably...

How do you parody something that already takes itself so seriously it's almost a parody.:)

And now, a little more commentary on the characters actually mentioned or appearing in the books. The second issue had an old picture of a previous 'league'. Gulliver we all know from his travels, written up by Johnathan Swift. Blakeny I had little luck with until I found the Alan Moore...

Game balance is one good reason. Another? Let's say that my maximum speed chewing gum is 4 chews per second. 24 chews per round. Shouldn't I be able to chew gum faster standing still than when running? Yet..testing this just this moment. I found my rate of gum chewing is uneffected by...

That morning Mongo, Taz and Nezu went to visit the Yabanjin and see how the plan was going. The sight that greeted them wasn’t pretty. Over the door of the barracks was nailed a hawk. Others birds were nailed to the top of the window frames and their blood smeared over the wood to form...

It's not come up yet, but I'd probably let bundles of arrows be stored in the javelin splot. It's close enough. Then when it's time to reload the arrow alot, get an arrow bundle, the switch it's slot. Probably take a full round action.

Nowe if they would only bring back Michael Ironside as well...

The group’s alias, since it’s been a little while. Toshiro is Mongo. Kaz is Taz. Mindra is Ming. Mir is Kyruko. Verick is Vlad. Volar is Fireblossom. Yukiyo is Raven. Kyruko heard back from Thrush not long after. The bird had chased the rider as long as it could but the rider was far too fast...

There have been at least two crossovers with The Shadow and Doc Savage. One in which a disguised Shadow was nearly given Doc Savage's 'humane' docilization surgery. AKA a lobotomy. There would be plenty of pulp heros you could draw upon. The Spider: Master of Men among many others. I do...

Thankfully no.;)

Noticed, just didn't pay it any attention.:) And Roy only has one heavyweight title, though as long as he continues to very carefully picks his opponents, that could change over the next couple of years.

Excellent stuff. I'm aiming more for sticking with then Victorian era so I doubt I'd use much from the Mystery Men period of the 1930's and on. But that doesn't mean it could not be adapted. If an Aging Dupin from Poe's works in the 1830s and 1840's could appear, then certainly some...

Thanks for the interest, but I can only run one game at a time.;) [B] Hero System 5th Edition. Aside from the recent break to do Rokugan d20 my group has used Hero System for years. For this type of game, I can't think of a better system for my group. [B] It would be a while from now. My...
