D&D Wild West style!

[Klaus]

Okay, I haven't read the whole thread... just the first half of the first page... but here's a random thought, and sorry if it hasn't already been metioned:

Old Kurasawa films.. you know, the Samurai films? They had a Wild West overtone to 'em. Samurai would face off, and the camera would zoom in on their eyes. Then, they'd draw their blades, and only one would be standing at the end.

Just my two cents.

Os course, it's no coincidence that Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai" was later turned into "The Magnificent Seven".

Oh I have an interesting thought, using the planes as the frontier setting, could be done in a very cool way. The question is which would be a +0 LA race that be would indigenous to the planes besides the psionic races for native americans

Or Yojimbo into "A Fistful of Dollars."

Then again, Kurosawa's "Ran" was based on Shakespeare's "King Lear", which is a nice way of showing how human dramatic themes run across cultures.

Speaking of which, was Ran the movie with the three-man-sword in the big battle? Or how's the name of that movie?

Well, there is that new race from Complete Psionic (I don't recall its name). I believe they are +0LA.

What would be a good religious or spiritual item from a D&D monster to be used in the same manner as an eagle feather for native americans? Like making head-dresses, and using them as fetishes.

Velociraptor talon.

Roc feather? Griffon feather? Hippogriff feather? Giant Eagle feather? Couatl feather? Avoral feather?

 

[tecnowraith]

Sorry I meant to add besides using a feather. If it's possible.
