I'm guessing the "R" stands for Regina, the girl on the boat who sounds remarkably like Naomi, and who I think actually is her sister. I think Miles lied about the whole "Tell my sister I love her" being a code because he didn't want to reveal that the reason he knew Naomi was dead was because...

Have you been to Disneyland lately? They have some decent Indy fedoras in Frontier Land. I can't recall offhand how much they are, but I think they're in the $20-$30 range. Last time I went, anyway (about 2 years ago).

I agree- I think it sounds pretty cool. I've never actually played Champions, mind (I played its redheaded stepchild Villains and Vigilante, and, later, Marvel Superheroes RPG), but from what little I've read thus far about the Champions Online game it sounds like it might be a worthy...

Obviously anyone can join the WGA, provided they meet the proper criteria. The issue is that reality show writers and animation writers are not covered for those particular jobs by the guild. So, sure, if they have a job writing for scripted television, they'd benefit from anything that any...

That's exactly the case. I'm not sure where (or even if) you might have gotten the impression that it was any different. It is their visibility (the US being such an entertainment minded nation, in many ways) that makes this an issue. The UAW is the single largest union in the nation, with so...

Absolutely. The average WGA writer does not make 200k. At best, the "average" writer earns about what your average middle income worker does- I'd guess somewhere in the 30k to 60k range. Certainly livable, but the lion's share of the WGA membership are not in stable, month to month jobs, and can...

Cryptic working on Champions Online. Guess they didn't want all that work they put into the cancelled Marvel MMO to go to waste. Good for them. Should be interesting to see how it compares with CoX.

Sorry if I sounded snarky ('dig' was probably too strong a phrase to use). It sounded like you had a specific "known" world in mind, though. Which is cool. Frankly, that's the model I think would work best anyway, especially something that allows a small group of multiple players. A...

I think he's making a dig at the Forgotten Realms.

One thing that strikes me is that it seems a bit out of place with the purported Points-Of-Light notion. In a real world context, heavy armor is rare and exceedingly expensive- the noblemen could afford it and wear it, the rank and file couldn't. I wouldn't think a POL setting- where...

In re: the Casimir effect and time-travel, I think that pretty much all of the island's mysteries will ultimately boil down to its strange (geophysical?) electromagnetic phenomena. The Casimir effect is connected to electromagnetism; the people's enhanced healing might be an electromagnetic...

Well, to be fair, the writers on animation and reality shows would actually like to be covered by the WGA. At least that's the way I understand it from reading and seeing complaints by people in those fields. As I understand things, they are not currently covered by any guild, and thus have very...

I admit wondering the same thing, but I do find it kind of funny how people are constantly trying to connect any Asian characters on the show to Marvin Candle. First it was speculation that Jin might be his son, now it is Miles. LOL.

A bit disappointing that so few WGA members actually voted (3,775 out of 10,500. Not even as many as voted for the strike- 5,500.) I'm curious as to how/why that happened- if they just didn't care or what. I know there was some talk about the possibility of the WGA ending the strike before...

It's definitely in need of something at the moment. I love the game, but I haven't even been active in quite some time, because it's just too much of the same thing all the time. Get a mish, go beat up villains/heroes, finish, repeat. There are some really great elements, but, yeah. The last...

How would that work as an MMO, though? If you've got thousands of people playing basically the same characters, don't you lose something in the immersion factor that people play MMOs for? Or are you talking more along the lines of something "instanced", where you (and the people you team up...

If I'm not mistaken, Alan Moore has said that though he didn't want Watchmen to be made into a movie (he didn't conceive or write it that way), he actually read David Hayter's script and thought if it was to be done, that was the way to do it. (Quick Google). Yes, in fact the exact quote from...

"I hear nothing on the other side," Vanden informs his companions. He reaches out and opens the door. Presuming, of course, that it's not locked and/or barred.

Apparently, 20th Century Fox does. Wonder if that will hold up this movie. It's still in production, so my guess is simply that Fox sprung this lawsuit knowing how much of an investment was already made to back out of it, so they would just pay them off and keep going.

A foot taller? Last I checked, halflings were between 3 and 4 feet tall as well. The weight factor is a definite consideration (one that I think got nerfed quite a bit in 3E for some odd reason, though I'd have to check earlier editions to verify; I'm pretty sure they were heavier in 2E at...
