    Movie Quotes

    Perhaps the quote was technically answered by Tarrasque Wrangler, but just for those who don't know: [/b] Is from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And here is another quote, slightly edited to make it at least a little difficult to recognize. [/b]

    The Midget's Deity-A-Week Thread!

    Nice thread. I especially like the Plot Hooks section at the end of each description. A question, though. Based on the description of Damh, I would think he would be CN with CE tendencies, or simply CN. Certainly not CG. Is that alignment simply the standard alignment given for him in the...

    Why is it so hard to change a world?

    Don't cry for me, next door neighbor. Dinkledog, I agree with that. Darksun was a great campaign setting, and I see a great deal of similarities between it and Midnight. As for the reasons for my posting, yes, it is in objection to a philosophy I have seen in a few DMs. None of the DMs I...

    The Wachowskis Next Project???

    Personally, I thought Matrix: Reloaded was a great action flick.

    Kysthiwendor Lyyidelarnikoist Versus Lotus (Ariel Judging)

    I understand, and I know you were not deliberately violating the spirit of the rules. I simply thought that my options for a response to the move were limited because of the fact it was a success, technically speaking. For example, if I had posted earlier in my Willow attack that the falling...

    Kysthiwendor Lyyidelarnikoist Versus Lotus (Ariel Judging)

    Kysthiwendor smiles slightly, still holding her side, and bows to the judge. "Thank you, Mistress Ariel. I shall further my skills through the way of the Sash, as the demonstrative prowess of that style fits me best." Turning to her opponent, who looks slightly drenched from the fall into the...

    The Wachowskis Next Project???

    Vin Diesel wouldn't even come close to the portrayal of Conan Arnold is capable of. Face it, no one else really fits the role, and a Conan movie without Arnold is doomed to fail.

    Why is it so hard to change a world?

    Trainz: LOL Nightfall: Ah. I thought you were using Ravenloft of an example of a campaign world which successfully used this setup. It was a great world, but the lack of change led to stagnation and boredom for the PCs. By the way, as for inspiring others to heroism, that is fine. I...

    The Wachowskis Next Project???

    I agree, Arnold embodies the essence of Conan, and I would not want to see anyone else playing the part. I think Arnold should focus on his movie career for a few more years before taking up politics.

    Why is it so hard to change a world?

    Ravenloft was fun to DM, but generally long term campaigns were hard to keep going because players got frustrated at being unable to really do anything about the evil permeating the land, from what I saw. Exercises in futility are, as a rule, not engaging and enjoyable.

    I figured I would start a spinoff of the Movie Quotes thread. Just remember to post an answer to your quote if no one else has within twenty four hours. To kick it off I offer this quote: [/b]

    Why is it so hard to change a world?

    I do not think any player really expects to change canon for any world, unless they are playing in a campaign with the writers DMing. The campaign you are playing in is the only one that really matters, after all. Getting back to Midnight and the Night Kings, as examples, I really dislike...

    Why is it so hard to change a world?

    I am very unfamilar with Scarred Lands. Most of what I know comes from reading topics on the boards. Titans are evil, the Gods destroyed or imprisoned them all, and now most of the evil races are attempting to free them, correct? I would assume that the baseline of the world is preventing the...

    Why is it so hard to change a world?

    Sure, I can understand that. But I would like to know, as a player, that I have at least a chance to affect and change the world. Having DMs say "The Night Kings can never be defeated by you, period" really throws a wet blanket on how enjoyable the campaign can be. As for the Scarred Lands...

    Why is it so hard to change a world?

    Is that not the point, though? Characters who, despite overwhelming odds and evil, stand against it anyway, knowing full well they will almost certainly die doing so, seem far more noble and inspiring to me than characters who follow the path of the just when it is convient. Still, this is...

    Pogre's New Story Hour with Mini pics - (12/7 The Final Update)

    Is it Gerhardt or Gerhard, by the way? You have spelled it Gerhardt, but hwoolsey spells it Gerhard. Just want to make sure I get the right name for posterity. ;)

    Why is it so hard to change a world?

    I thought that one of the greatest promises of the Midnight campaign was that the PCs could truly become Heroes who changed the destiny of the world around them. I do not view Midnight as the second Ravenloft, but apparently others do.
