    Spiderman 2 Spoiler Thread

    It's pretty much been covered but here's my contributions. 1) Just like with Aunt May later on, I was under the impression that the doc knew (or at least strongly suspected) Peter was Spider Man. That 'I, er, a friend of mine...' speech is a rather old (and lame) explanation. The 'patient...

    Silly Character Names

    That brings to mind the Simpsons episode with Stampy the elephant. Homer's chasing after Bart (on the elephant) and hits a statue of a deer. Homer: DOH! Marge: A deer. Lisa: A female deer. Sorry. Back to the thread. I admit I've had some odd names but I don't think they were that bad but I...

    J Lo = Wonder Woman?!

    There was another Wonder Woman, pre Linda Carter in fact. Hardly worth mentioning as Kathy Lee Crosby didn't look much like the character and the outfit was way different. At least Ricardo Montalban was her villain. But few people would remember John Rhys-Davies as the original Kingpin and yes...

    Rate Spider-Man 2 [No Spoilers]

    To quote Petere Griffin: Holy crap! C'mon Spidey 3! Before going to the movie, I was singing the old 'Spider Man' song and after the movie I may ask a doc about having some mechanical tentacles surgically attached, especially if I get to do all that spiffy stuff with 'em. :cool:

    Open Oriental Content

    You could swipe some ideas from the Battle Realms RTS. It's almost like Rokugan Lite with only 4 clans (Dragon, Serpent, Lotus and Wolf) but it also uses gunpowder. IIRC, a semi recent Dragon had 2 unit types turned into PrC's like was done with Warcraft 3.

    d20 Transformers...

    I think the tapes were even smaller, about the size of a human or an equivalent creature (usually since Ratbat was a rather large flying mouse) and Wheelie looked about the same size as Daniel (Spike's son). In the original series, after dealing with Hound in the riverbed, Rumble just shoves...

    Subtle Brilliance...

    Okelie dokelie and check-a-roonie. I had considered using Blood n Fists just forgot to mention it. Doh. So the recipe is Grim Tales with OA / Rokugan for setting (mostly), EoM for magic (this might be a wrinkle), OA / Blood and Fists to get some chopsocky-ness and a touch of steamtech for...

    Subtle Brilliance...

    I was going to ask about that but you beat me to the punch. Thanks. Haven't gotten the book yet but hopefully it'll happen soon. I've an odd idea for a campaign, namely using GT to run OA (with some Rokugan mixed in) but with EoM's magic and some steamtech and get a vague chanbara / wuxia /anime...

    A Spell Burn Mod

    What about making the stat loss random? As in for some spell might sap the strength this casting but the next casting might put a drain mentally (Int loss).

    Eberron = Tekumel?

    :\ They give honorary doctorates to former game show hosts?

    Define some genres

    I PITY DA FOOL! How about mixing the A-Team with the Jackie Chan Stunt Team? "Sentenced to a federal penitentiary for a stunt they didn't commit..." Basically the same but instead of being a commando squad, they're formerly members of one of the best (if not THE best) stuntmen / martial...

    Which DnD culture is the most likely to do this?

    Halflings. What better way to hide evil than in plain sight? "I shall call him... Mini Me."

    Ooo! Mix it with Mexican wrestling tho CoC already did that in Blood Brothers 2(?) with the El Tigre adventure. 'My gawd! My gawd! El Tigre just powerbombed Cthulhu through the Spanish announce table! It looks like Little Missy's going for her top rope finisher, the Sweet 16!' 'PUPPIES!' 'Oh...

    Define some genres

    How about a rebirth of masked Mexican wrestling movies? El Santo! Mil Mascaras! Rey Misterio! El Tigre y La Piramede de Destruccion! Make 'em into a new Scooby Doo Detective Agency or monster hunters or international superspies.

    Spider-Man 2 trailer, can there be spoilers?

    Did he have the Star Trek-y 'evil goatee'? :] Nevermind the teaser trailers. I still think its Doc Ock since that's obviously Peter Parker dressed up as Doc Ock pulling the mask off to prove that Spidey and Peter are 2 separate people. It might be convoluted enough to work. My prediction...

    What is the name for his type of movie?

    If you can find 'em, look for ones with Wong Fei Hong. Jet Li made 3 or 4 movies as the character and Jackie Chan also played the part (Drunken Master 2 aka Legend of the Drunken Master). Jet Li was in the first 3 Once Upon a Time in China movies and Deadly China Hero aka Last Hero in China...

    Please sell me on Grim Tales

    Well it shouldn't be too much of a problem since I'm sort of a Kurosawa addict and after cartoons was Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theatre (usually ninja movies) followed by the obligatory 'guys in giant rubber monster suits duking it out for world domination' movie. But Usagi Yojimbo is another...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo - Scourge of Old Worlds?

    Lessee. Must be on one of those 'low carb, high protein' fad diets and no more sedimentary (far worse than sedentary) lifestyle. Male pattern baldness, a side effect of the above diet or a really good wax job. The Surgeon General's been warning about it for decades but it was probably ol'...

    Please sell me on Grim Tales

    While it's not difficult to transmogrify Western fantasy into Eastern (DMG gave suggestions, etc) but can Grim Tales do Kurosawa-ish D&D? Going a step further, can it do Asian fantasy better than OA?
