Actually, 'wulf, I've been working on something like this for a little while now. A small coastal barony, basic settled areas, possible adventuring locales, a bit of history, gods, etc.; that sort of thing. I should have it ready to go in a week or so. I've had a little trouble converting...

Looking good so far! :) Can't wait to see how the rest turns out! Between this one and the excellent color job hafrogman did, looks like I'm gonna have a rough time deciding which one (maybe both :) ) to put in my Campaign notebook. :D Regards, Darrell King

Plus, the 'farting alien' episodes had Mickey accessing a bit of deus ex machina by cribbing access through the UNIT computers...using access codes/passwords provided by The Doctor. Since computers were little more than calculators when the Pertwee Doctor was hangin' out with UNIT, I'm assuming...

Granted. Though, I'd still say it's easier for that novice movie-goer to follow Superman Returns than ESB. More realistic than you'd think. :) In my (admittedly small, especially at the time) North Carolina town, there were only about a dozen of us who became SW freaks. The reception...

The effects are actually a bit better than they seem in the trailer (though I'm in agreement with the poster(s?) who didn't like the feathery wings. It isn't. The books (or at least the first one, I haven't read Eldest yet) are a bit better than the movie, though not by much. You might...

Except that Superman has a more widely-known 'basic history.' People who have never seen Star Wars...and there are lots, believe me...know, at essence, who Superman is (basic powers, 'truth, justice, and the American way,' etc.). The Superman 'S' shield (like the Coca-Cola logo, the McDonald's...

Agreed. Even beyond the varied cries of 'plagiarism,' it's just not well-put-together, plot-wise, or well-acted (excepting Irons). I'm not prepared to grant it that much leeway. I'm not going to call it a festering pile of manure or some such, but I can't say I enjoyed it, either. From...

Yes, actually. More so, I'd say, with SR than ESB. In SR, there are no 'little things' from the previous movie(s) to have to see. There are reiterations, 'easter eggs,' and line similarities for those who want to place them in context with the Reeve movies, but these do not add to or detract...

They don't. FotR has a beginning, RotK has and end, and TT has neither. They were released at separate times, but were filmed as, essentially, one continuous movie...one single story in multiple parts. That's why I consider them one movie. The same could be (almost) said of Superman &...

Actually, I consider The Lord of the Rings to be only one (bloody long) movie, as it was created from one already collective literary work, and all three flicks were filmed at the same time; unlike Star Wars, which (despite Lucas' often contradictory claims) would never have been a 'continued'...

Ditto. Since starting one group in the early '90s, Hallowe'en is my traditional 'dress as your character' night. Regards, Darrell King

As has already been pointed out, no, it wasn't really that surprising. Westerns (and war movies) had been doing the 'good guy scoundrel' bit for years, and far more people had seen those types of movies than had watched sci-fi movies when SW first emerged onto the scene. For what it's worth...

By all means. :) The more, the merrier! Yeah, pretty standard stuff (though I'll probably wind up changing a bit of it when I replace the map I've been working with for a while with this one), the area as a whole is called Dragonclaw Barony, the mountain range at center is the Dragonclaw...

THREAD HIJACK ALERT Well, no. Then again, I was 11, and didn't have a heckuva lot of experience with movies in general. In retrospect, it's pretty obvious from the moment he and Luke say 'good-bye' that he's gonna be showing up again. Did I expect that sequence of events? No. Did I...

You certainly did! :D That is a wonderful bit of work! Thank you!! :D :D Regards, Darrell King

Thanks for the link! I'll check GIMP out a bit closer...just as soon as I'm on a normal interface again (I'm using my brother's computer for the next few days/week, and he only has dial-up). Regards, Darrell King

Cool! :) It should be fairly easy for you to make out, terrain-wise; mostly grasslands, mountains, and forests, with a bit of desert/badlands-type terrain at the upper left of the map. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Thanks!! :) Regards, Darrell King

Unfortunately, the only 'color' software I have access to is MSPaint, which is why I'm not trying to color it myself. :)

I have an old black & white map (see attachment) I did several years ago, and I'm kind of interested in having it colored. The aim is to use it to replace the map of my 'transitional' campaign setting (the one where I try out all the 'new stuff' I'm considering using before allowing it in my...
