The most important things to keep in mind if you are interested in doing a story hour are IME. 1) Write it for your self and your players. The hard cold fact is that like in any other area of fame and fortune, the odds are that what ever you do, no matter how good it is, will never attract any...

I think you might have windows xp 2008 antivirus, which is what's called Malware rather than a virus (not really sure what the technical difference is but I think it's that one's an application of sorts and the other is more minimal, kind of like the difference between bacteria and viruses)...

So when did he get this armor? http://www.mahq.net/mecha/codegeass/geass-r2/gareth.jpg

Anime : Another recommendation for Full Metal Alchemist. Very good series. The movie "Conquer of Shamballa" is merely okay though. Project A-ko : One of the funniest pieces of anime ever made and it just gets better the more anime you know. Only watch the original movie. The follow on OVAs...

Except that the only character wearing a Nazi outfit is Neil Patrick Harris and he's in only a handful of scenes. The MI uniforms aren't even vaguely Wehrmacht or SS.

I am unconvinced that most of the movie is intended as satire, nor that the incompetence of the military is part of the satire. The "Do you want to Know more?" bits, yes definitely. Probably most of the scenes with Neil Patrick Harris. But that's about it for the satire. BTW SR, the mods frown...

Hollywood generally fails any sort of military realism period and almost never bothers to do even basic homework when it comes to either the hardware or tactics. The recent Death Race remake describes the vulcan's on the lead's car as 20mm, when they are probably no bigger than 7.62...

While this is true, I just simply don't see it in most of the movie. All complaints aside, large chunks of the movie are taken pretty straight from the book. If there's some satire or parody in those parts it has completely escaped me. I don't see the satirical aspects of things like the...

I don't think Mallus's argument is that the movie is a satire because of the incompetence of the military in the film. Nor does a satire have to be believable. The point of a satire is to make fun of the stupidities and excess of something, typically by taking the characteristic elements of what...

No. While STtM had satirical elements most of the movie was really played pretty straight. Verhoeven is many things as a director, but subtle is not one of them and there's nothing satirical about most of the film. Airplane was an outright parody, but actually even in that film most of the plot...

The three mars books are certainly among the most "blah" of Moorcock, novels, but it's not like he ever pretended they were anything other pastiches of the John Carter of Mars books. The Elric books might not strike you as innovative 30-35 years after they were written, but they were at the...

Ah the old question of Player vs Character knowledge. Sounds like you're one of the DMs who wants to make the world as mysterious and unknown as possible. Not necessarily a bad thing, but that's not always compatible with players who have been around for a while (and thus basically know all the...

Elethiomel I believe has it correct. Basically even if you are a specialized conjurer, you're better off doing other things until you hit a minimum of 3rd and don't forget Mage Armor is a conjuration spell. So you can take than as your specialization bonus spell. SM I at first level is a waste...

I think you mean "Shilsen". In his campaign all he has to do is show up....

There's several terrific ranger spells for archers which is a good reason to take at least one level in it so you can at least use a wand or scroll of the spells. Perhaps the most indispensable is the Ranger spell "Arrow Mind" (it lets you take normal AoOs ie. typically 5' threatened area, as...

Manyshot does not even vaguely work this way. There is no iterative attacks involved. You get X number of arrows as detailed in the feat description and that is your attack. It DOES NOT WORK with pretty much ANYTHING that gives you extra attacks. At least if there is anything that works with it...

"What's your name... Lethbridge-Stewart. If that is in fact your name." hehehehehheh...

This nasty piece of work was covered in detail in The Register recently. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/08/22/anatomy_of_a_hack/ They are quite clever about how they go about tricking you if you aren't very careful. For this reason, if you get something like this popping up. Close the...

Well Metropolis was set in the future but is definitely Art Deco. They recently found the footage from it that had been missing for the past 70 years or so. So it should be showing up in a DVD/Blu-Ray release in the not too distant future. The Flash (live action) TV show had cars that were...
