Re: *snicker* I know I'm a latecomer to this thread, but I find some of the points raised very interesting... [/B] I don't really understand this line of reasoning, but then, I also don't necessarily hold with a lot of the justifications being offered either. Why not just say, "Because I...

I'm not sure whether to be disturbed or relieved that that's all you got out of watching Urotsukidoji. -- Pazu

My hate of d02 know no limit. ...silently. -- Pazu

And yet, the title of the thread is "Poor kitty", not "Poor creatures" or something more inclusive. Maybe that has something to do with his reaction? Absolutely; the potential mother deserves pity. However, for me, that pity definitely takes second place to concern about the well-being of...

I met Joe Straczynski at San Diego Comicon 1995. My brains promptly turned to mush and I babbled something incoherent. My wife, bless her, was much more articulate. I've spoken briefly with Neil Gaiman a couple of times, but not so as he'd remember me. Nicholas Cage was at the same comic...

Absolutely agree, although I approached Diana Wynne Jones (and Susan Cooper, for that matter) as "Books I should have read as a kid and am going to read now that I'm over 30"! :) (I preferred non-fiction as a kid.) -- Pazu

Isn't it odd, though, that (at least in D20 Modern) you can use Perform untrained? I mean, okay, I could maybe accept someone pulling off extemporaneous standup comedy, but untrained performance on musical instruments? -- Pazu

Best place for info is www.nausicaa.net. Or you could sign on to the Studio Ghibli mailing list (I think the info is at the nausicaa.net site). I think the Diana Wynne Jones website (www.dianawynnejones.com, I think) also has some information. Haoru no Ugoku Shiro has been in the pipeline for...

A few additional recommendations Like anyone asked, I know. :) So I'm limiting these to those I haven't noticed anyone mentioning, or should be re-emphasized: Garth Nix: Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen (the latter just released). Sort of YA but very interesting. Philip Pullman: The Golden...

I had heard that the release, originally slated for January, has been pushed back to March. Having seen it (the dub's not bad, but I do prefer the original voices), I can't recall what it was that justified an "R" rating. Oh well, I suppose I just need to see it again. Ah, the sacrifice. :)...

Re: Harping on the Ranger Only if you assume that all of those skills have to be kept at maximum ranks. Amusingly enough, the same argument holds true in the case of rogues who want to emulate the 1e thief model. Pick Pocket, Open Lock, Search, Disable Device, Move Silently, Hide, Listen...

Oh, and by the way: Pazu is the name of the hero in the classic Studio Ghibli film Laputa: Castle in the Sky*. Headstrong and not too bright, but steadfast, good-hearted, and devoted to his lady love. I can identify with that. :) -- Pazu * I really, really wish Disney would hurry up and...

I'm guessing that you didn't have the convenient subtitle "Princess of Florin" for the folks at Nutkinland? :) Not that Buttercup from The Powerpuff Girls isn't a great source, either. Admittedly, I love both the Powerpuffs (TV show and movie) and The Princess Bride (book and movie). -- Pazu

Oddly enough, during Boromir's final fight scene, I could swear that I saw the horn dangling in two halves from his belt. -- Pazu

And, as far as favorite anime go, my personal list. :) 1. Anything by Studio Ghibli (as you might have guessed from the handle). Up to and including the animated video for On Your Mark by Chage & Aska. 2. I'll jump on the bandwagon for Cowboy Bebop. The music is amazing, and the way it's...

If this is the same DVD collection that I have, be aware that this is a non-licensed release. Official DVD releases of the Studio Ghibli films haven't been completed even in Japan (Region 2) to date, and, IIRC, the only legal region 1 DVDs of Ghibli films currently are Princess Mononoke and...

Those of us on the Left Coast... ...don't seem quite as sociable as those in the Midwest or East Coast, huh? Actually, I game with Lizard fairly frequently. Arcady used to game with us, as well. But I knew them before I discovered EN World. :) I'm not sure if anyone else in our group(s) is...

Thanks for all the responses! Addressing some of the good points made below: bret: Yeah, you're right about that level requirement. I suppose that makes it just that much less likely she'll ever make it that far. :) Poltergeist: My initial feelings were similar to yours. Since this...

The Watch Detective in Masters of the Wild has this ability, but I don't remember at what level he gets it. -- Pazu

Well, actually, a Rogue/Sorceror who's aiming for Arcane Trickster (we'll see if she makes it that far)... This is a brand-new character who's right now a level 0/0 rogue/sorceror (rogue primary), consequently with pretty much all of her allotted skill points in roguish-type skills. Although...
