    They Killed Cap!

    And speak in the third person. I can see it now: "FINALLY, the Cap has come BACK to the Avengers! Who in the blue hell are you?" "I'm..." "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS! And the rest of those pajama wearing jabronis WERE right. You do suck." Hrm. C'mon Steve Rogers! Come back from...

    They Killed Cap!

    No, the next Captain America is going to be Stephen Colbert. He was given Cap's shield on the Mar 12th show by Joe Quesada because Colbert is the only one who's got the "Red, white and blue" -intestinal fortitude- to carry it. And Captain America willed it to him in the event of his death...

    They Killed Cap!

    I got it! Cap is laying low and when the Dems and Reps declare their candidates for the '08 election, Steve Rogers jumps in as the third party and wins like Lex Luthor did in DC. One of his first acts of office: pardon all those involved in Civil War aka ctrl-alt-del everything. Yeah, and...

    They Killed Cap!

    Like Superman at the hands of the nigh unstoppable Doomsday. Naturally its a publicity stunt but in the Marvel comics, Tony Stark and his side might use the death to break the spirits of those who resist the registration. "See what happens? My best friend died!" or some other equally absurd...

    Andy Collins: "Most Magic Items in D&D Are Awful"

    I have my players invest their money into a variety of stock options and mutual funds. It's either that or the usual 'hero' stuff: alcohol, women or just hoard the shineys. I'd want to summon an earth elemental composed entirely of coins to follow me around. But the Monk tends to go OCD and sort...

    Playing rugby with miniatures, any ideas?

    You can download the Living Bloodbowl Rulebook for free, along with other OOP Games Workshop games like Mordheim or Necromunda. http://www.specialist-games.com/bloodbowl/default.asp or more specifically: http://www.specialist-games.com/bloodbowl/rulebook.asp But what the others said. Maybe...

    What are your thoughts on ANIME's influence on D&D?

    "A Japanese style of motion-picture animation, characterized by highly stylized, colorful art, futuristic settings, and sexuality and violence." :] And ruthless efficiency. And a fanatical devotion to the Pope! Maybe not. But that's just a circular argument. I'm watching Drunken Master II...

    What are your thoughts on ANIME's influence on D&D?

    Anime is as much of an influence on D&D as sword and sorcery, Lewis Carroll, Michael Moorcock, science fiction, the Bible and other religious texts, all the cheesy kung fu flicks that used to play on Saturdays, etc. were on the original version. If anything, its merely in a loop just as the GIs...

    looks like Chimps Have weapon proficency Spear

    Yeah. About that... could you come in on Saturday? While you're at it, you might as well come in on Sunday too. Oh, and did you get the memo on the TPS reports?

    Who's got the right stuff for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 1990s?

    Cheesy yes but what if the $6 Million Man Steve Austin had another accident and they rebuilt him (including plastic surgery) to switch him out with the another Steve Austin, recent recepient of a broken neck from a botched piledriver? At least that's how the official WWF / WWE records go. Maybe...

    I need help coming up with Titans

    Hrm. Don't remember them. Are they from Tennessee?

    D20 Modern in 2007?

    Farm the supplements to 3rd parties? Or Hasbro manages to get exclusives from Marvel (toys, games and related merchandise), part of which gets funnelled into a supplements for d20 Modern / d20 Spectaculars. Ok, I... I got nothing. :(

    Who's got the right stuff for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 1990s?

    It occurred to me that a good set of villains would be the martians from the War of the Worlds tv series but that would be a bit obvious / overdone. The aliens led by Dr. Lizzardo from Buckeroo Banzai or the Visitors from V. At some point, there'd have to be ninjas since nothing says 80's like...

    D20 Modern in 2007?

    Well with d20 Wild West, they could convert old Boot Hill stuff. Ditto with Roaring Twenties and Gangbusters. Precedent has been set with Star Frontiers (and the Alternity stuff) in d20 Future. Doubtful it would happen without renegotiation but there's a lot of Marvel Superhero stuff (99.99% of...

    D20 Modern in 2007?

    Doubt I'm alone but I'd like to see d20 Spectaculars in print. True, supers has already been done several times with varying success but it'd tell WotC that d20 Modern isn't on life support. That's the hope anyways. Ooo. Better would be a good supers game that isn't P2P like a Guild Wars...

    Who's got the right stuff for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 1990s?

    Ok if you want literary types from the 80's, I suggest Remo Williams and Chiun, of the glorious house of Sinanju (the Destroyer series). However it started earlier like the 60's or 70's.

    Who's got the right stuff for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 1990s?

    The Wizard guy. He was a genius at inventions and made mostly high tech toys but also gizmos for the gov't. How about Axel Foley instead of Ferris Bueller? Not that Ferris is a bad choice either. There's also one of the ninjas (Lee Van Cleef) from the tv show The Master and wasn't Fox's...

    What's gonna happen with Miko?

    She wakes up and we find out that everything's been a dream (like that season of Dallas) or she locks horns with Xykon but just as the final blow is to be struck, she is flung into the distant future where Xykon's word is LAW! Now the foolish ex-samurai seeks to return to the past and undo the...

    Order of the Stick #407!

    After that, I could only think of the chants from the original ECW era. I'd repeat them but they're full of expletives / colorful metaphors.
