[d20M] League of Extraordinary Gentlemen -- UPDATED 12/4! NOTHING STRESSFUL GOING ON!

[Lela]

EDIT: In the meantime please pretend to be pleased with at least seeing page 1...

Wulf

Pretend, yes, I can do that.

On Griffen, that food idea is so cool. I mean the clothing is expected not to vanish but food. . . That solves a lot of munchkin problems.

One question though. What happens if he swallows, say, a penny?

 

[Horacio]

Thanks, Wulf!!!!!!!

 

[Spatula]

Very cool stuff with the characters, although the inclusion of James West seems like a strange choice. It's a real shame that the background information is only there for Jekyll. But you've got me interested in digging out the original series and rereading it...

 

[Conaill]

Woohoo, we're seeing some movement on this trhread!

Thanks for posting those character sheets, Wulf. If you'd like me to scan in Capt. Nemo's sheet, I should still have it lying around.

PS: I believe Nemo succeeded in almost *all* of his secondary objectives. He didn't get to meet West's associate, but he got all of Tesla's notes, decoded them, met Tesla in person, not too mention walking off with some pre-atlantean manuscript and a big chunk of alien technology. I'd say Captain Nemo is a pretty happy man right now (as far as Captain Nemo ever gets happy, of course...)

The food disolving bit is directly from the book The Invisible Man. One thing that makes me love the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is the great attention to detail and reference to the original works. Griffen was a right bit of a bastard in the book and he had to be careful about not eating before going out as the Invisible Man. I also liked in the book how he kept being sick from running around naked in winter.

The same is true for all of the other characters as far as I remember. Reading 20,000 leagues for the first time right now and I'm very pleased with the book and the way Nemo is presented.

I'm also pleased that Wulf seems to have incorporated all of that goodness in his game. (Can't wait for the movie).

Sure, that or just retype the info from page 2. Whatever is easiest-- and assuming folks are interested.

The background info was really just for folks unfamiliar with the characters as they are presented in the series, and the secondary objectives didn't play a huge role, either.

Conaill also gets big props for wearing a turban through most of the first half of the adventure. And it was HOT up in that attic, too!

That would defintely be me! I'm not familiar with over half of those characters.

.... I ain't readin no old-timey books!

The series he means is a comic book series, and it's quite good, and I've never read comic books before. So not quite "old-timey". I bought the first compilation book for 10 or 15 bucks, and it was great, you should try it.

 

[Metus]

Oh yeah, I know. It's just I wasn't familiar with those characters before the comic book series, so I saw no reason for me to read it. I just thought I wouldn't be able to have the background to really get into it.

 

[Lela]

Hmmmm, that still leaves the swallowing of the penny though. . .
