    Lightsaber construction

    Ask him what his source is for that bit of info. I doubt it's correct, and wouldn't affect the films in any way. Notice that of all the Jedi with colours of the rainbow for their lightsabres in the EU, who participated in the Battle of Geonosis, they all had blue or green blades in AotC.

    The Return of the Original GL

    The Starheart was retconned into being a deceased Green Lantern, merged with his power battery. This GL was the pinnacle of the Corps, and the Guardians removed the yellow impurity from his battery. Unfortunately, the near-absolute power the GL now had drove him mad, and the Guardians had to...

    What's the longest running "inside joke" at your table?

    "It's not a Star Wars game until someone loses a hand." Two PC's in my current Star Wars/Stargate SG-1 game have lost a hand, and I'm one of them. "DON'T open the box!" Whenever the GM describes the presence of a box, or the involvement of a box, someone has to declare "DON'T open the box!" I...

    The Return of the Original GL

    They weren't "retcons." Retcons were what DC did to effectively destroy Hal Jordan as a character. Barry Allen became the Flash due to a lab accident (like 75% of all superheroes), and called himself the Flash because he read Flash comics as a kid. Hal Jordan and Alan Scott's origins are...

    Lightsaber construction

    The only remotely canon description of a lightsabre's construction is from the RotJ radioplay, if you can find a copy of either the play or the script. There are only four canon colorus of sabre blade: blue and green for Jedi, red for Sith, and purple for Mace Windu, because he's a mad mutha...

    We Have Killed a God!

    I know, but it sounds much cooler when you say you killed a god. The game is basically Star Wars with Stargate elements; we've taken backgrounds and PrC's from the Stargate book, and we've encountered a lot of hardware, but we haven't used the Action Point mechanic.

    We Have Killed a God!

    On Fridays, we play a hybrid Star Wars/Stargate SG-1 game. The party composes SG-17, and our last mission was to locate Marduk's crashed ship (we released him and failed to kill him the first time) and terminate him. Well, we got there, only to find Marduk and his survivors (including our...

    Star Wars DVD's will feature new alterations!

    When George decided that he had the technology to make Star Wars the way he had envisioned, and return some scenes that were left on the cutting room floor, the prints LucasFilm had to work with were so deteriorated that if they hadn't started at that time, they wouldn't have had the chance to...

    RIP ST:TNG Movies

    The entity that identified itself as God in STV could be considered a rogue Cytherian (the guys who made Barclay super-smart in the TNG ep "The Nth Degree"). I doubt it was a Q, as it did not display Q-Brand™ powers. Late Addition: I've been reading a very in-depth Star Trek timeline, and...

    Star Wars DVD's will feature new alterations!

    I wasn't too big on "Alert my Star Destroyer to prepare for my arrival" replacing "Bring my shuttle." Vader had just offered his son the chance to rule the galaxy, and he replied by jumping to his apparent death; he was quite ticked at that point in time, so a terse "Bring my shuttle" sounds...

    Does Anyone Speak Arabic?

    Thank you! I'm going to add that site to my list of references; I have a few characters of Arabic ethnicity, and I want to make them as authentic as I can.

    Does Anyone Speak Arabic?

    I need a name, of which the English translation is "Son of the Falcon." I know it will start with Ibn Al'_______, but every Arabic dictionary I've searched online only has the Arabic alphabet.

    Weapon Master

    Devastating Strike is best used on foes armed with ranged weapons, because they can't make AoO's.

    Best Names ever given to PC's Weapons

    We're playing a hybrid Star Wars/Stargate: SG-1 campaign, and we were recently captured while trying to board and capture a System Lord's ship. Our team leader was the only one with the werewithal to actually fight the torture and pull the knives from his body (with Will saves to not pass out...

    D20 Future: excuse me while I drool

    On the subject of a Victorian-era d20 game, Sword & Sorcery Studios recently picked up the license to do a Masque of the Red Death d20 System game. I don't recall what the estimated release date will be.

    White Wolf - Ending of World of Darkness

    When he says Hunters, he means the Imbued from Hunter: the Reckoning. There will still be plenty of small-h hunters roaming around WoD 2.0 to play with.

    It says "Elf Storage," not "Dead Elf Storage."

    Freelance Editors needed

    I wrote, pretty much single-handedly, two d20 game netbooks: one of which is no longer available due to legal problems, the other being the d20 Modern NetBook of Famous Characters. Since the d20 Modern NetBook has had submissions, I guess you could consider that editorial work.
