    [Saga] Star Wars: Rebels with Style OOC

    I believe the Rebel flight suits ended up being stated as simply 'flight suits' according to the RCR, at least based on how the illustrations were labeled. Course, that's from memory so it COULD have been padded, but I seem to remember it just being the basic model. But actually talking the...

    [Saga] Star Wars: Rebels with Style OOC

    Not necessarily true, though. Look at the Rebel Marines we see in the opening scene of A New Hope. No armour on any of them beyond a simple vest and their helmets and those don't really count. On Hoth the Rebel Troopers aren't in armour, but simply cold weather gear, and on Endor the Strike Team...

    [Saga] Star Wars: Rebels with Style OOC

    I think you're right that this is a big thing in it. Both the previous d20 versions didn't encourage armour use at all, and the old WEG d6 system was pretty much the same in that it was there, but not hugely advantageous. Not that its a huge advantage in Saga from what I see, just that it is...

    [Saga] Star Wars: Rebels with Style OOC

    It probably is...though, of course it'll take time to get it on and all that fun stuff. On a related thought, I must say this is the first Star Wars game I've ever run that the players are actively going after armour. I've run a ton of games, too...played in a ton, too. Not necessarily a bad...

    Just remember, if you ever join the Empire, its not about effectiveness...its about overwhelming numbers! :p

    Star Wars: Rebels with Style

    Interior Group: Combat Info:As this is a Surprise Round, everyone only gets ONE action. With that in mind, Kay is only able to toss the grenade. The attack does hit all three of them. The two Stormtroopers are knocked unconscious but the Officer is still up. Assuming Lia alters her target to...

    Iron Man 2, Thor announced for 2010

    There's a rumour that's regaining some steam that it'll be Matthew McConaughey as Cap. And...physically, I can see that. If he could just lose that horrible accept and find a way to put on an actual aura of presence then he could probably work. ...but its still a rumour, of course.

    Iron Man 2, Thor announced for 2010

    If it means anything, that kind of stuff is hinted at. Its just that the Ultimate origin doesn't get so heavy into Norse mythology. Instead it takes a more serious look at Thor as a man who might just be crazy or MIGHT be the protector of the planet sent from Asgard. There's an interesting...

    Battlestar Galactica-Final Season (4) 5/2/08--The Road Less Traveled

    This. Its not about Cylons LITERALLY being Human. They aren't. That's obvious to everyone. Its the question of what constitutes BEING human. Is it just physical being? If it is, then there's definitely a disconnect...but if its more, if its something more up in the air and philosophical, then...

    And on another droid note... How do you feel about relaying information from the droid like that? Not just "he says" but NPC it a bit and take some liberty with his peronality? I have no desire to make the droids NPCs under my control, but it feels like a good way to get things across from them...

    Star Wars: Rebels with Style

    Interior Group: DeurrWas a bit unclear, I think. I was actually referring to the door on the OTHER end of the hallway being destroyed rather than the damage to the Comm Center door...however, a quick little roll here on looking at the Comm Center door and it does look like there was some kind...

    Iron Man 2, Thor announced for 2010

    Its generally the same in the sense that he's Thor, God of Thunder. But from the start there's real question as to whether he's actually a god or not. There's as much evidence to say he's just a crazy guy claiming to be a god as there is to him possibly telling the truth. Eventually he does...

    Iron Man 2, Thor announced for 2010

    I expect its likely to go more the Ultimate route more than the classic, which probably works best for Thor more than almost any other hero due to the origin. Still, its so early in the game with this one that about the only thing we know for sure at this point is Matthew Vaughn is directing. A...

    I half-expected that post-credits scene to be pretty simple: "I TOLD you we needed to debrief you, ^&*!@(%&%!"

    Star Wars: Rebels with Style

    Interior Group: Though the corridors remain hauntingly empty save for the few corpses near the lift tubes, there are still many signs of a fight. The smell of ozone is impossible to miss in the air, evidence of very recent blaster fire to go along with all the black scorch marks across the...

    Iron Man

    What's amazing to me is how much of the suit was actually a practical suit rather than pure CGI. Obviously there was a great deal of CGI, but having a real suit there to ground it, in a way, just added so much that I didn't think about the effects at all, just like you mentioned.

    GTAIV: Most Over-Hyped Game Ever? Maybe.

    Its amazing, though, how Morrowind managed to fit so much STUFF in the 'empty' space. Not to say I don't like Oblivion, but it does feel so much more empty and a bit boring compared to that...and yet its smaller at the same time.

    Hah, yeah. Gotta love it when Wolverine is written well.
