Combat Info:Once again, Istara succeeds in recharging the shields. They're up to 20 now. In an attempt to keep things moving/hopefully keep you guys alive...will assume Viria and Deurr continue to fire. Viria attacking T1 gets an 8. No good. Deurr against T3 gets a 26. That's a crit, and does...

Its not the last. When I thought I'd have more time as of the last update I uh...haven't. I'm currently trying to figure out a way to work this into my current schedule, but its gotten pretty insane lately. I'm still working on that aforementioned separate writing project, but in addition to...

I can't really add anything that already hasn't been said. Between Iron Man and Dark Knight, superhero movies really are moving into a wonderful direction. Oh...and I figure its worth asking: Anyone here know how to make a pencil disappear?

Love the music. Love the look. Love that they managed to make a naked blue guy work. Need this movie now.

Combat Info:First off, Istara finishes her action and that brings the Vortex's shields back to 25. Going down posting order to make things easier...so that brings up Viria's attack next. Attack is an 11...no good. Based on past actions, will assume Deurr also fires at T1. His attack is a 12...

Combat Info:Okay...shields will recharge next round when Istara finishes the action. Assuming Viria attacks T1...she gets a 12. No good. Deurr's attack against T1 is a 13. Also a miss. That brings up the YT. Sya is going to Fly Defensively. Being a trained pilot, that means +5 Dodge to the...

And there we go for Garret. I'm definitely taking mental notes on a lot of this. I do like how the starship combat works, but I'll admit this wasn't the best of ways to go about it with this group. Too little things for everyone to do. Will have to rectify that in some way if/when starship...

Garret: Things were not going so well for the YT-2000. Three of the six TIEs pursuing the others in the Lambda shuttle had, at first, not seemed like a problem at all. You were already in the upper gunner's position by that point, but that didn't last long. One of the TIE's got a lucky shot...

Gah. For some reason I didn't catch this until now. Give me a bit and I'll add a quick little post for Garret as a more detailed update on the situation over in the YT. Glad you're back, now hopefully you won't get shot down! :)

Combat InfoFirst off, you guys are still fine. No hits at all and the shields are in good shape. Its the YT back behind you that took a major hit. In the interest of moving things along, won't just slow down for changes in possible actions/etc. With that in mind, will assume Deurr also takes...

Combat Info:All the TIEs are still out in Long range for the weapons, so a -10 to the attacks still. With that in mind, Deurr's gets a 5 due to that penalty so no Force Point use there. Will go ahead with Viria's attack, since they're technically still in range. Even with the penalty, she gets...

The original is one of my favourite movies of all time. Somehow, I'm still neutral on this. If done right, it could be great...if...

Combat InfoOkay. Since the first few TIEs are in range, Deurr's going to attack, I believe. Will just assume he's shooting at 2, dead 'center' behind the shuttle. His attack is a 1 with the range modifier and a bad roll...even a Force Point won't put that over the top to hit the TIE. I'm...

Heh, gotta love escape pods. Also, apologies on the delay. I've been traveling some again and should be able to dig my books out now.

I LOVED 300. Both the comic and the movie. But Frank Miller has a way of either writing things that are wonderful or just...well, awful. I've not found much middle ground with his work, and the idea to make a sequel to 300, in comic OR movie form, just seems...off. Sure, it might work, I'm not...

I think part of the 'problem' with Watchmen is that its ideas aren't really new anymore. While its definitely a classic and probably one of my favourite comics of all time, it could be easy to miss many of the major themes as being revolutionary because they're become mainstream, in a sense. I...

True...and, admittedly, he was always a bit. Uh. Unique. But between what he's turned The Spirit into and this...well, methinks something has kind of switched off, no matter the cause.

Well, if anyone needed proof that Frank Miller has lost it in the past few years...

Combat Info:Going with the All Out Movement...the YT is doing the same to catch up, which ends the round. 6 rounds left to safe distance/plotted coordinates. Due to All Out Movement being 4x the normal speed, I'm willing to say it shaves off 1 round from the necessary distance to exit the...

Having seen it, I'm happy. I despise the comic. There's just so much bad about it. But the movie takes the few good things(action, violence, etc) and got rid of the bad things(the plot...) and ran with a very good action movie. I'd say this is the first action movie since The Matrix to really...
