"    Worse yet, this was all done as he held the poor schpoo out over the side of the boat, above his shark animal companion, Cupcake.  "Does Cupcake look like a b****?!"   I don't think a single person at that table could breathe for the laughing that ensued.  This is just one example of Mike's contributions of Samuel L. Jackson-isms to the game however.  As he puts it "Everything's better with a sassy black man in it".As far as other influential movies, I'd have to say that the adventure that line came up in was more than a little inspired by both The Dark Crystal and The Count of Monte Cristo, as the PCs were in a dungeon where magic-users who were politically inconvenient had been tossed to the cruel mercies of the Harrid (avian, magic-devouring beasties from Arcana Evolved that have more than a passing resemblence to the Skeksis).  I suppose you could also say that the Zombie Pirates, Gargantuan Crocodile, and the Hellmoth/Gloomwing encounters were probably inspired by "Pirates of the Carribean", "Lake Placid" and "Mothra".Mostly however, I generally try to draw more from literature than movies, as that provides more surprises for the less well-read members of my gaming group.  However, with a jungle adventure coming up, I may end up using Jurassic Park and the Conan: The Barbarian as references.
