    The Sci-Fi Channel

    Well if they keep with 'tradition' there'll be 24 hours (or reasonably close) of classic Twilight Zone on New Year's Day but it may have been USA Network. There was also the 'Sci Fi Santa' movie marathon leading up to Christmas Day.

    Generic Classes and Core Classes?

    Hmm. Tying in with a thread from elsewhere, what about using those 3 classes to mimic the wuxia genre instead of trying to shoehorn the standard classes in? Or would it be worth the effort?

    [d20 Modern] Another weird campaign idea...

    Al Leong, the guy I've dubbed 'the generic Asian bad guy'. He was one of the Wing Kong gang members in Big Trouble in Little China, one of the first terrorists that John McLain killed in Die Hard (C4 lobbed down the elevator shaft that took out the bottom floor), Genghis Khan in Bill and Ted's...

    Alternate future campaign. Need ideas (long)

    There's also The Wolf's Hour by Robert R. McCammon that had a British spy / werewolf working against the Nazis and one of the main bad guys was a hugemongous henchman "Boots". Yeah it sounds cheesy but its a really good book.

    [d20 Modern] "Gun Fu"...now that woulda been a great Polyhedron minigame

    Well there were the duos in The Killer and Hard Boiled tho IIRC, one of 'em died in each. There was also the backup that El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) got in Desperado tho they weren't as impressive as the gang in The Big Hit ("Non dairy creamer?" "Sure."). Stiffler (Sean William Scott) was...

    [d20 Modern] Another weird campaign idea...

    Hmm. How about ninjas and masked Mexican wrestlers (luchadors!)? El Santo has fought just about everything else but ninjas.

    Kaiju Game...

    KAIJU KOMBAT! *starts the Mortal Kombat theme* *ahem* Well there's Monster Island (Firefly Games) and Giant Monster Rampage (Mystic Eye Games) but there was the Kaiju template from a semi recent issue of Dragon (had ninjas in it I believe).

    What's the real reason Farscape was cancelled?

    Well Brisco County Jr went through something similar. For the longest time they seemed to be the next 'flagship' of Fox (after Married... With Children, The X-Files and The Simpsons) and was heavily advertised. But after the season ended, it went to rerun heaven and IIRC TV Guide had it as the...

    Favorite TV Theme Songs?

    Lessee. The original Justice League before they went guitar-y with Unlimited. Batman: the Animated Series Superman: the Animated Series The Flash (live action one) Another vote for Cowboy Bebop (TANK! is the title IIRC) The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. Wild Wild West Both animated versions...

    Farscape - Saturday Morning Sleestacks.

    Well there was that alternate world / dimension where Rygel was Dargo, Aeryn was Chiana, Dargo was Jool (I think), etc. when John had his chat with Einstein on the "ice floe" in Season 4 I believe.

    Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars

    That body harvester guy was flash frozen at the end of "Suns and Lovers" (when Aeryn came back from the dead). Guess he got thawed out. As for Chiana's eyes, I think she said they were from a commerce planet, apparently cybernetic or whatever passes as such in the Uncharted Territories (she...

    Farscape - Saturday Morning Sleestacks.

    Yeah, I could almost see how they edited out everything but 5 or so minutes of what would've been a full episode like Jothee's return or re-encountering Jool, etc. I wish they made it a full season so maybe find out what Furlough did with her knowledge of wormhole tech and I wanted to see more...

    What makes a "bug" cool?

    Another source worth looking at would be the Tyranid Codex for Warhammer 40k. You could probably get an older print relatively cheap. They're quite similar to Starcraft's zerg.

    Archaic and just plain weird insults for roleplaying fun. :)

    How about a few from Chiun, the last master of the Glorious House of Sinanju (specifically Remo Williams: the Adventure Begins): You move like a baboon with two club feet. In Korea, door handles do not break. Women should be at home making babies.

    Tell Us Your Best RPG Joke

    Don't feel bad. Be happy for me (yet sad for my gaming group) as this is giving me verbal components for Tasha's Hideous Laughter as my halfling edges towards the Arcane Trickster. Even scarier will be his command word for Otto's Irresistable Dance: "macarena".

    Half-Dragons. Do you used them? (And WotC's half-breed fetish)

    Nah, now its a bioengineered dragon with breath weapons coming out of the wrists but then it's not really a breath weapon any more is it?

    Anime for Beginners

    Lessee. I'll have to add another for Cowboy Bebop (love the music especially), Record of Lodoss Wars and Ghost in the Shell. Tenchi Muyo is another fave especially little Washuuuuuuu! *ahem* Got in late on Wolf's Rain but still liked it, especially since its by the same guy(s) that did Bebop...

    Why can't clerics cast "Identify" and "Analyse Dweomer"?

    In the modified words of "Bones" McCoy from the original Star Trek: "Dammit Jim! I'm a cleric not a miracleworker!" If the cleric truly needed Identify (or any arcane spell for that matter), a simple casting of Miracle will do the job. Kind of a waste tho.

    GenCon mentioned on NFL Total Access.

    Of course it did. It's also so painful that most only get a few million dollars a year and its still not enough. Oh boo hoo. Cry me a river, build a bridge and get the frell over it. :p Since everyone else is spouting their favorite foosball teams, I'll chip in for Miskatonic U, home of the...
