You rock, Reveal. Great Sketches! :D Norm MacDonald as Burt Reynolds was actually intended to be the recurring character in the SNL Celebrity Jeopardy skits. However, when Norm got fired, Sean Connery became the recurring character. Not that I'm complaining, because Connery is hilarious in...

Why, the tireless innovators of Q Branch, of course! No secret agent is complete without an exploding pen.

Because nobody has posted it yet. :) Okay, you folks know the drill. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being the worst, 10 being the best) rate the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Also, this is the spoiler-free thread, so if you must post spoilers, use the spoiler tags please.

LMAO! :lol: Great smiley, Reveal. :D

Some of my observations on things that work well in fiction but don't work well in RPGs... Party Leaders: In most fantasy books, the party of adventurers usually has a leader. In every single D&D campaign I've played in, whenever somebody tries to establish themself as party leader, the other...

Although I haven't seen it yet, a lot of my friends like the anime series Berserk. I've even seen it described as Conan the Barbarian meets Record of Lodoss War. :)

It will take more than that to convince me. I've known a fair share of english majors who were insufferable gits who thought that every time a sword was mentioned in a novel it was a "phallic symbol" and every time a good guy died it was a "Christ figure." And, of course, many of them have...

Considering that Patrick Swayze's character died at the end of Red Dawn, not to mention that World War III ended without the fall of civilization, I highly doubt it.

Yes, I'm sure all those english majors knew Tolkien's intentions better than he did. Allegory and personal interpretation are two seperate things. In particular, I find the claim that Gandalf is allegory of Christ to have more holes than an old fence. So unless some kind of note or journal...

I don't know how I'd rank the 10 best fantasy creatures ever, but I do know that Gelatinous Cube would be #1. Gelatinous Cubes rock! :D

Ah, thanks for clearing that up for me! :)

I just find it amusing that despite J.R.R. Tolkien repeatedly stating that LotR was not allegorical or topical in any way, people still insist on claiming that it's a Christian allegory, or an allegory on World War II, or that the One Ring represents nuclear weapons, et cetera. One more...

I love these lists. They remind me of the Bill Brasky sketches from SNL. :lol: A few weeks ago, I also made a thread that had Random Facts about Chuck Norris and Vin Diesel. They all come from the same site, so if you liked the Mr. T ones you'll also like the others. :)

Orgrimmar from Warcraft, because orcs are cool. :) Being a human, however, I doubt I'd get a friendly reception.

You do know that Hershey Kisses are available all year around, don't you? ;)

Sounds like that would basically be a brothel or massage parlor. :p

As annoying as the high men can be with their perfectness, they aren't nearly as bad as the elves are. LotR elves are so irritatingly perfect in every way that their urine could probably be bottled and sold as a cure-all elixer.

Actually, if you wanted a race of "High Men" in your games, why not just go with Aasimar? They're just humans who have a touch of celestial blood running through their veins, giving them greater wisdom, charisma, and a couple of other abilities not held by regular humans.

Despite your claim in your original post, it really does sound to me like you're having a case of RPG burnout. It happens to everyone, whether it be burnout from work, school, hobbies, et cetera. I say that you should put the RPG books away for a while and try some other forms of entertainment...

I remember that one, particularly the armor-plated, flesh-eating cockroaches that took over Salt Lake City. :D Here is another (two, actually) post-apocalyptic movie that hasn't been mentioned yet. In fact, it's an anime title... Vampire Hunter D (1985): Thousands of years in the future...
