Frazetta is inspiring me!

[Warrior Poet]

Yes, it is, as a two-disc setup even. Frazetta - Painting with Fire is the name of it, I believe.

Ah, cool. Thanks! I'll look for it. It would be cool to hear your review if you get a chance to see it soon. (Would that go in this thread or in the Movies Forum??)

Just hard work and clean living, friend.

I knew there was a catch! Well said, sir!

Thanks, all,

Warrior Poet

Ah well, all good things must come to an end I guess.

Don't worry, Mystery Man. Don't take it so hard. Dungeon is hard to crack in, and I simply don't have the patience for them right now. There is very few things I can do in your world at this time, other than Hellgate Keep. *

But this not the end, just a new beginning. At the present time, I don't want to create any d20 product that "sucks." There are really few products out there that actually doesn't suck. And I like to create one of them. To do that, I need practice. And I'd rather not create a product that sucks-sparrow-eggs-and-howls-at-the-moon for the Realms. I want my Realms writing to be better than my regular writing is now.

To accomplish this, I have to achieve consistency with the rules. Once I create a few consistent products that do not "suck," I can turn back to the realms. Wizards would be proud of my work and will accept any subs I send them.

Dude, do you wake up every morning and acknowledge to the universe just how lucky you are? Because if you don't, you should. Great games, great players (some of them are wild airline stewardesses, fer cryin' out loud!), residence in a truly beautiful section of geography, outstanding writing ability, and a wife who appreciates Frazetta . . . .

Man. Warrior Poet, you should go move near Barsoomcore. At least you can enjoy the beautiful section of geography.

I was inconsolable the first 10 minutes or so, but I'm better now.

I'm happy that you got over it, quickly.

It can be purdy round these parts. Right now it's dark and cloudy and damp, but there's nice days. And stewardesses.

The Frank Frazetta Museum is small but beautiful. It's in the Poconos, a couple hours north of Philadelphia. While you're up there, you can hike the Bushkill Falls -- beautiful part of the country, particularly in the fall.

When I visited, back in October, Frank's wife was playing the role of museum docent. Anyway, I believe she served as the model for those "Frazetta girls" back in her younger days.

I caught the Frazetta: Painting with Fire documentary on IFC a few months back -- it's what reminded me to check out the museum -- and I saw that it is now out on DVD. Yeah, that went on the wish list!

Speaking of Frazetta,

I think you may get a kick out of these:

[Martian Longsword, as per the pic in the 1st post of this thread.

Snow Giant Helm

Another sword from a Frazetta painting.

An infamous Frazetta axe...

And matching helm....

By the way, Jody Samson, the guy who's making the Martian Longsword, is the guy responsible for these cinematic icons of weaponry.

I just sent that first link to my wife with the subject "Your Husband Deserves A GREAT Christmas Gift".



Thanks for posting those!

Jeff, you keep that couch ready, you hear? Even longer haul from Vancouver, but if my wife hears about this, I may be compelled to bring her out that way.

Its a futon, but I'll do that. Seriously though, you guys really need to check out the musuem. Its a very awe inspiring experience.
