Kill those Krauts!!! 
News:
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

I can't argue with the "uncultured barbarian" comment Entropy, but then again I hardly know you. 
jk.
I do agree with Slant on the whole Voyager movie thought, though. I am really not looking forward to that at all.

I will agree with you, Spriggan, on the grounds that it is the most "complex/serious GCI" in I have seen. But I have to hold my ground when I say that I truly enjoyed the performance and see it as exceptionally noteworthy.

I had heard both rumors re: the Rock and HHH. I just gave up trying to determine who to believe, and figured I would just find out when the press release became official.

Well, Spriggan, sometimes that is the only way that I could get through to you guys. 
jk But, I will admit, that was some of the best games we ever had. Everyone battling it out in one grand melee!! However, I will most likely NEVER do that again. What a task!!

I truly enjoyed the enhancements to the game. I, too, spent a lot of my college time battling it out on the original version, and the new one is a great step up.

Not to question your wisdom Entropy, but I am not following the reforging of the sword thing. As near as I can tell Narsil isn't reforged yet, but I have only seen TTT once, and I might have missed it. In the special edition, Aragorn appears to only use the same blade he had at the beginning of the movie. In the discussion regarding the reforging of the sword of kings, the only outcome I really got was that Aragorn didn't want to carry and use the sword. Can you please offer some more clarification.

Wrath of Khan is probably the best movie because it delt with something directly related to the series. It had a history that went above and beyond any of the other original series movies.

Currently I have a very small group that I am storytelling for, so it hasn't been a problem for me for several years, but I know that when our group consisted of 12 to 16 members that was happening a lot and several people got pretty annoyed. I was just curious how some of you more experienced, and "mature," players deelt with it.

Sounds like another fun session. I am curious how well the game functions with the different groups splitting off on their own adventures. It works for the books, but as far as playability of the game is it smooth, or do you find that a lot of people are left waiting for their opportunity to play?

I had also heard of Berry's spinoff. As far as the movie goes, I thought that it was one of the best late edition Bond moives as well. I do have to agree with Entropy's disappearing car comment, though. That was just a little too far out there for me.
