My current game has the world's history at its core. Before this game, we did a quick, 13-session game that played through a major upheaval 200 years ago. Now, in the current campaign, they're dealing with the results of that upheaval. Piece by piece, they're learning what really happened...

This thread has gone on too long without someone trying to stat-out the characters. Did someone already do a thread like that, and I missed it? Or are we simply being direlect in our duty to be obsessively geeky? If it hasn't been done in recent memory, how about we stat out the crew as...

No. Although I have to agree with the above posters: If the whole thing had been shot in the 1st person, I would definately go see it. Spider

I bet they sit around their spaceships, playing checkers and drinking Shasta orange sodas. Spider

Orson Scott Card has reviewed Serenity: http://www.hatrack.com/osc/reviews/everything/2005-09-30-extra.shtml Spider EDIT: Wow...I bet Joss is grinning ear-to-ear at that review. OSC compares him to Shakespeare. Several times. :D

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Nearest to me is Atlanta, about a 4 hour drive. But it sounds like the list is expanding...so there's hope it will spread quickly. Spider

They talk about Mirrormask, collaboration, etc. http://avclub.com/content/node/41034/1/1 Spider

I don't think the Reavers are inherently "evil". They've just had their agression turned up to 11. I'm sure they can still feel empathy, when they're not eating people. Given the 10% figure (that's what I heard, too), there should have been 3 million Reavers at one time. Given the number of...

Thinking more on the film, I kinda have to wonder how much it was influenced by the abusive relationship Firefly had with Fox. For one thing, the tagline for the film is "Can't stop the signal". The basic plot is that a bunch of intrepid heroes are fighting against the establishment to...

OK, it's not as perfect as I'd like...I'll have to wait for the DVD release to show a real comparison. But these are the shots I'm talking about: Spider

I think he's talking about Zoe, Serenity, the Crew, the show, and River. I didn't much like the scene where Simon busts River out. As someone else pointed out, Simon has d4 hitpoints. He shouldn't be kicking ass. It seemed really out of character to me, although I understand why they did it...

I have to questions how well this system works with professions that by their nature require both service and production--like a locksmith. Surely someone who can build a complex lock could also fix it, right? I'm sorely tempted to roll the craft skills into profession, and determine which...

Will do. Actually, I spotted this on /. . Spider

Thanks! Look, I'm famous! :) Yeah, the interview is a great read. I've long held that if I ever won the lottery, I'd lock Neil Gaiman, Joss Whedon, Tim Burton, and possibly Terry Gilliam in a room with a couple reams of paper and a bunch of pens. Then me, Johnny Depp, and Danny Elfman would...

Don't know if someone else has already scooped this, but it's a great read (and close to one of my dreams come true). http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1109313-1,00.html Spider

Something like this? http://www.srs1software.com/ Might have better luck in the Software and Computers forum... Spider

Let's see, my Halloween plans... 10/22: DJing our annual Goth/Industrial Halloween Gala 10/28: DJing a New Wave/EBM pre-Halloween party 10/29: Helping to host (and possibly DJ) a Masquerade Ball at a downtown nightclub 10/30: Recovering, putting final touches on costume 10/31: Hanging out...

Well, I certainly wouldn't possess a weak little baby. I'd possess someone rich/beautiful/strong/powerful. But then again, I'm not a demon-lord of corruption. ;) The idea was that this demon represented the worst kind of corruption there is, and he had to possess a totally innocent vessel...
