What an oversight. I'll second that mention, and beg for a second series which they won't do. (I'll also try to remember the 40+ bug species I catalogued in my head one day. That show was great for variety. And gibs. Let's not forget the pieces of bug raining down from the sky.)

Well, I liked the trilogy for what it was - action movies which you have to think about. (And people are still thinking about them, which impresses me. Realise that you didn't buy tickets for a two-hour-odd movie, you bought tickets for the next couple of years of discussion. You wouldn't have...

Despite the fact that some frown upon them, I like Yugi-oh and especially Digimon. Yugi has rules, you see, rules that enhance some kind of strategy - and strategy is something I can enjoy. And the voice acting is so macho. "You fool! You should never have challenged me - for I am geek!"...

And there was that Cleopatra 2525 show too, in which she didn't play Cleo.

To pay lip service to the thread topic: I've seen a few SF RPGs. Theme would be what I'd like to see: a firm handle on what you do. Fiction, gameplay examples, sample adventures or seeds - good things. They don't have to be hard and fast rules, but there should be a handle there. Consider Star...

Teleportation. Preferably the unlimited range kind where I can take a little stuff along with me (the 'group porter' super archetype that every mutant team seems to need). I would reinvigorate space exploration and become very rich. 'What's that? Your orbital booster costs a hundred million...

Oo, that's nice and circular like my law/chaos conjecture (too much order is stifling, too much chaos is entropic, too much of either is therefore evil and meets curving out around the back of reality, a balance is therefore good). It might almost be interesting to make kenosis and ego a more...

Well, it depends on exactly what level of animation you want. If you want just some still pictures moving about, I would first make sure I had high resolution source files (300dpi or so) for each image, then scale them and reposition them in a fresh image for each frame of the animation. This...

I did some rough sketching. It might look a bit weird (no shading, plus I'm drawing on someone else's drawing) but there's the approximate idea. I've also drawn some dragons in the early stages of my webcomic, if you're interested (link in sig)... they're a little more integral.

http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail58.html has some pointers... On a more helpful note, when it comes to dragons, I use large plates of armour, taking liberal inspiration from the Monster Manual. Such plates are huge along the back and on regions that don't flex much, but articulate and small on...

Historical fact: Sailors in the colonial British navy were not encouraged to learn how to swim. Apparently, after getting washed overboard in the middle of the Pacific ocean, it was more comfortable to drown straight away than to swim six thousand kilometres to the nearest cannibal island...

Live action showdown: The Grinch versus the Cat in the Hat. (Having seen the former but not the latter, I'm predicting black and white fur all over the place.) Clone Wars. Although I've only seen the first half (but able to obtain the others from http://www.pcpages.com/1010101/ - handy - so...

Paul Atreides versus Anakin Skywalker. Two angsty young men with great power...any takers for how this'd turn out? Motoko Kusanagi versus Trinity. This is what the crass amongst us would term 'cyberpunk babe battle', and I think flesh and blood aren't good enough to win here. And on the less...

First paradigm: vitality/luck. Half hp feels like you've run half a mile (or longer, for you fit types) - you're still capable of moving out of the way of blows, but you're certainly not dancing like you did before. Barbarians and dwarves get to endure some more serious wounds in the mix too...

I'm beginning to leak details of my Twilight world to the Net, and just today I put up the Qor Demon. You can see them at http://www.talkaboutcomics.com/viewtopic.php?t=14778 on my comic forum (it further links to a picture). If you're not that patient, here's a summary: Qor demons were...

Switzerland. I think it looks more sensible than most settings, but I'm just too cheap - so I give it approval for what I've seen, and disproval because it'd cost me money. Were I rich, I'd be higher up the accolade tree.

For nonhuman stimulation, you need look no further than the dragon. A dragon doesn't pile up gold and jewels so it can buy a better cave, it piles it up because that's what it likes more than anything else. This is something to point out after you've run your fingers lovingly through a captured...

... meanwhile, they've got half a million comics based on movies without comic ancestry. Of course, in the modern age, every third movie is based on a comic, so it's only a matter of time before these numbers swell...

Kinda like, if you know there's floors and a roof, there must be walls around here somewhere. Only more complicated than that.
