    Pirates of the Caribbean

    Or another adventure set in the 20's: The Last Train to Clarksville. A Pleasant Valley Sunday? Probably not. However I'm a believer but I'm not your stepping stone. Sorry, couldn't resist. :heh: Then again that'd be scarier as a CoC / d20 Modern / d20 D*M adventure: the Monkees (or Nsync!) as...

    Joker confrimed for Batman Begins sequel.

    Mebbe the Blue Meanie'll play him.

    Dire Tigers are real...

    Lions? Tigers? What about bears? Oh my. Liger is also a superhero (anime and live action) and a Japanese wrestler (Jushin Liger, based off the anime). Send a anthro'd liger after some PCs that don't like furries.

    Should Campaign Settings include a metaplot?

    Been there, done that. Sorta. I present Exhibit A: General Grievous. The guy fights like a freakin' 4 armed monkey in the Clone Wars microseries and sort of in RotS. But he's only been in maybe 2 novels (so far) and a miniseries comic (I think). Metaplots? Eh. As has been noted, they tend to...

    Looking for trade/graphic novel recommendations

    Just to be different: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the original Eastman and Laird version) which was rather dark in tone compared to the kid friendly "Cowabunga!" Era soon after. The first movie was fairly close to original run tho Leo was beatup not Raph and the Shredder was (supposedly)...

    Which is better?

    Ah! Back when NBC had lots of scifi ish shows and truly was "must see tv" like ALF (even watched the cartoon), Manimal, Misfits of Science and even The Master (Lee Van Cleef as a NINJA!). However you left out such great series as VR Troopers (made from 3 different series), Masked Rider, Big...

    What media villains would translate well to D&D?

    How about ol' "Nosferatu" hisself, Scorpius? Quite manipulative and seems to have an ace up his sleeve at all times. Like a cockroach, just when you think he's squashed, he'll pop up someplace else. (Doh! Figures I'd wait too long before hitting submit) To a lesser extent, Commander Bailar Crais...

    What media villains would translate well to D&D?

    Oh I like this answer. Yeeessss. Must have a rubber ducky for those bathtime soaks (several times in the series). He's got slight delusions too as he often talks with his t-rex (and later dragon) head. Dinobot originally started off as a Predacon but joined the Maximals simply because "my...

    The Superman Returns spoiler thread.

    The kid looked at Clark's face then had an asthma attack. Who'd believe that anyone could hide a secret identity behind a pair of glasses? Maybe it'd work for some boneheaded adult but that kid was pretty sharp ("You're bald.") ;)

    The Superman Returns spoiler thread.

    Oh, the hard work we must do. ;) IIRC, shortly after Superman appears publicly, the kid interrupts a distracted (and eavesdropping) Clark since "dad's office is so boring". Lois comes over and introduces the munchkin (and her husband too), who then has an asthma attack but his aspirator is...

    The Superman Returns spoiler thread.

    Well I liked the Easter eggs (the ones I spotted anyways). Superman's return was very similar to how he was introduced to the public in the animated series while his hospital scene reminded me of his death (and empty tomb). Those pics the camera phone kid took - classic Superman covers...

    New Star Wars RPG!

    I find your lack of faith... disturbing. WotC isn't some wretched hive of scum and villany. If you strike a Star Wars RPG down, it will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

    JL:U and Teen Titans - No more episodes?

    AFAIK, the Bruce Timm stuff are in rerun heaven on Boomerang. I think they play Batman and Superman in 1 hour then Justice League in another hour. Teen Titans is still on CN at the moment, part of their Meguzi show (weekday afternoons @ 2 pm central I think) and also on Saturdays. I imagine its...

    Lucy Lawless as Goldmoon in animated DL

    Barsoom-y! You have some 'splainin' to do! Not really. I just had an overwhelming urge to say that. Lucy's already flown in animation before in a Treehouse of Horror episiode where Bart n Lisa gain superpowers (Bart gets strength while Lisa is stretchy) and face the Comic Book Guy, who's...

    Billie Piper to quit Dr Who

    Recommend a Romantic Movie

    I dunno. Princess Bride? Tho even death can't keep them apart. I believe Bride With White Hair had a similar 'star crossed lovers' bit. Quick synopsis (IIRC): main characters are from rival clans and both want to leave behind their lives to be with each other. Naturally too good to be true as...

    God of War, dungeons, and my game

    For the vampires, have plants wither away or blackened areas where they pass. Where their hands touch, a rotted / corroded handprint. Possibly some holy items that've been crushed, defaced or what have you as at least 1 of the vampires is far too strong for them to work. Maybe even something as...
