    THRILLING TALES - Pulp for D20 - What do you want to see?

    El Santo, Mil Mascaras, Blue Demon y otro luchadors! I know its bizarre but they count as pulp (see?). Here's a bio of Mil Mascaras (his origin movie) that sounds a bit like Doc Savage's. PSST! Over here. Seriously, do these movie posters not remind you of other 'classic' pulps like Flash...

    Scientists recreate 1918 Flu Virus

    Nah. They have to drink each other's bath water. Sheesh. We're already running low on the vaccinations tho not as bad as last year. Its not like its difficult to prevent - cleanliness, handwashing, Vitamin C, etc. Maybe its proof of the Gaia Theory as the planet is trying to fight off an...

    Head over heels for a girl.

    It's only natural that Buttercup would know something about wuv, twue wuv. :) Wandering in late, don't fret about it Ferret. Que sera, sera. 'Sides, when it comes to romance, its as if the universe conspires against you - the harder you look, the more time you waste on important stuff like...

    "Baby got Back" or "Fat-Bottomed Girls?"

    Sheesh. Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, I guess there's no escaping reality. But I like to dream, yes? Yes, right between the sound machine. Seriously tho, there's no reason for any wars, huh? Good gawd ya'll! What is it good for? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Now...

    Unpolite and happy about it! UPDATED 11/04/05

    Mr Sandman's special attack Narcoleptic Fit. The muffins ensured Frank would fail his save. One of my DMs would've use the spray bottle for the battlemat to wake him up (also used to keep away the cat). A rolled up newspaper on the nose would work too.

    [MnM] The Incredible Years - The Final Countdown (C. Blaize and JDRakeh, input?)

    There's also another monkeywrench you could try. The attempt to resurrect Omega instead or also summons (say it like that guy from Venture Brothers) THE UNSPEAKABLE HORROR FROM BEYOND SPACE AND TIME! It might just be from some leftover gizmo of Syndrome that got reactivated like something to do...

    [MnM] The Incredible Years - The Final Countdown (C. Blaize and JDRakeh, input?)

    Hopefully I'm not too late for the thread. Act 1 - Sapphire might get a bit of a split role since she'll lead out of combat and maybe even in combat when Act 5 rolls around. Act 2 - Tiger's shining moment leading into his confrontation with Doc Otaku and mutates into the psuedo Kaiju Kombat...

    You can patent Storylines!?

    Reminds me of the (ludicrous IMO) lawsuit involving the James Bond movie franchise. I believe it involved either Thunderball or Never Say Never Again.

    Halloween: Love it or hate it?

    A fence sitter. Pro: Lot of fond memories over the years (probably have more as I age). Con: I got a rock. The Great Pumpkin didn't show either.

    Next D20 Modern Campaign Setting!?!

    Since I put in a vote for "Other", here's the explanation (weird as it may be). Show the lesser used genres some lovin'! What's wrong with some Chan-tastic / wuxia / luchador one shots? Heck, combine that with one of the others and you can re-create most of El Santo's movies where he challenged...

    Beyond High Fantasy

    There's also Thundarr the Barbarian as Fantasy / Post Apocalyptic. Going to other systems, After the Bomb from Palladium fits the PA part with some of the Fantasy (mutant animals) and RIFTS is naturally something of a buffet of genres tho heavily towards dystopian sci fi (the Coalition)...

    Where did -10 come from?

    Nah, they fought in slo motion. Or it was just an attempt at replicating Final Fantasy (NES) combats. *starts humming the combat music* "Cool! I BRAK'd a GrOgre!"

    Warforged by any other name

    And while its not necessary, beating them in a certain order makes the later defeats easier (Crashman vs Woodman, Flashman vs Quickman, etc) especially since the victor gets to absorb a portion of the defeated's power ("There can be only ONE!"). Each tribe of these 'Forged' has its own distinct...

    Nic Cage a Superman fan?

    Well Penn Jillette (of Penn and Teller) named his poor girl "Moxie Crimefighter Jillette". His reasoning? "We chose her middle name because when she's pulled over for speeding she can say, `But officer, we're on the same side,'" Jillette explained. "`My middle name is CrimeFighter.'" (from...

    [Oct] What are you playing?

    KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!! Sorry. Couldn't resist. BTW, is there a ROM for Chrono Trigger? I'd also need an SNES emulator tho.

    Alternate Currency Systems

    How about the citizens hand over their wares to the gov'ts who in turn issue some sort of currency? Think koku, which was the amount of rice needed to feed 1 person for 1 year (about 48 gallons). Then currency becomes an easier measurement of what it can buy not what its worth / made of so maybe...

    Alternate Currency Systems

    Just adding in a tidbit, the Inuit tribes once used fishhooks as a currency (maybe a myth like suicidal lemmings). Also when the Europeans started trading with the natives in the New World, there wasn't any common ground when it came to currency so it ended up as beaver pelt...

    [Oct] What are you playing?

    Just got the expansion to Dawn of War so that'll probably occupy my time for awhile. Eventually I'll get around to getting the Warcraft 3 expansion to waste some more time. :lol:

    The Incarnum Magic System is Neat but Remarkably Derivative

    Ah! So a Prismatic Sphere is an onion? And like ogres, onions.... (Stink?) Yes. No. (Make you cry?) No. (Left out in the sun, they get all brown and start sprouting little white hairs?) No, they both have many layers. But what about parfaits? Everybody likes parfaits. You ever ask someone out...

    Worst "science" movie

    I didn't like that season of Dallas either with Married... With Children copying it (HATED the character of Seven) while Family Guy had that awesome fist fight between Peter and the giant chicken (round 2 was better tho).
