I loved the Watchmen. There is always something lost in a translation from books (graphic or otherwise) to film, but for what it was I thought the film was very good.

I'm reading Eclipse Phase and trying to wrap my head around the setting as a whole. So far, I like what I'm seeing.

Oddly, as a guy who has played tons of fantasy RPGs and very little in the way of science-fiction RPGs, I find that I'm drawn more the the sci-fi settings. Maybe that boils down to the fact that there seems to be a formula for fantasy settings where the sci-fi settings seem to be more willing to...

I bought my copy (and I have a deadtree copy on the way). So far it looks like it has a ton of potential. Still crawling my way through all the background, society, technology, etc. notes, which I'm very glad they included.

I'm sorry, did you say something? I was distracted by a sudden desire for milk.

The best RPG rule books are those tied to a strong setting. Shadowrun, Eclipse Phase, Alpha Omega are all very fun to read. Dungeons and Dragons not so much.

First, I recommend you stay away from the REALLY popular movie tracks as players will recognize the music and I think that reduces the effect...you want it to feel like the music is the character's music (so no Conan or Lord of the Rings, unfortunately). Pretty much any adventure movie you can...

4e...that's all I'm running and playing these days...and there is a lot of it going on. I've got my eye on an opportunity to run or play Shadowrun 4e or Eclipse Phase for a change of pace.

D&D was the game that started it for me. I was 'introduced' by crying to my dad that my older brother wouldn't let me play. After my dad laid down the law (I don't want to have to listen to your little brother cry, so let him play), my brother and his friends sighed...and promptly handed me a...

I'm working on my Book 2 PPT for one of my games and I've been rolling around in my head how I want to go about it. What I think I'm going to do is have some text as if a historian is looking back at the exploits of the characters (through the lens of history, so the account won't be exact and...

The hardest thing about the music is synchronizing it with the text (if you pay close attention, you may notice that particularlly dramatic words match up pretty close with movements in the music...at least that was the goal that kept me modifying things until I was satisfied). Yeah, if I can...

You're quite welcome! :)

Well the response from my players has been outstanding. My niece caught a glimpse of the PowerPoint (I had eMailed it to my brother as he is one of my players) and thought she was watching a movie at first. She was so impressed she came by just to watch us play a session. I think it is a good...

The music came from Elizabeth: The Golden Age (not really a good movie, but it had some good music). As for art...sheesh...I have thousands of saved art and sound files from all over the place. I'm something of a freak for bringing my game to life. I use PowerPoint, background music, sound...

Heh, thanks for the love! :o

I miss 1E Gygaxianisms. I miss 1E modules. I miss 1E/2E magic items. I miss 2E fluff. I miss boxed sets. I don't miss the OGL all that much.

I approve of your Gamescience dice, bp2, and I envy your ship tiles.

That's just great, weem! Thanks!

There are a ton of neat toys for terrain, but it is all a pain to store (and keep organized). I'm more of a Tact-Tiles and Counters (I make my own) kind of guy myself, but I will make some terrain counters from time-to-time (altars and such) to spice things up.

That's a great idea! Yoink!
