Just as long as they don't have him performing lewd acts on a bulette or anything.
News:
Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

This is like the seventh or eighth time since 1986 that they have tried for a Watchmen film. It aint official until you see it on the screen.
My vote: William H. Macy as Rorschach.

EXACTLY!!!! How many of us adults who are in the hobby started out playing with six 12-year-old kids sitting around somebody's kitchen table scarfing pizza and making Monty Python references while slaying orcs and stealing gold coins.
And it's been months since I've dwelt in a basement.... SO THERE!!
HAH!

Role-Playing Games / D&D The Movie 2
« on: July 23, 2004, 09:10:19 PM »
it is official that there is a new D&D film coming out, and that the leads will probably be Vin "Grunt" Diesel and Paris "Please, somebody slap me" Hilton. It will have little to do with the first film and will center on a warrior and wizard's quest to keep an evil mage from awakening a dragon.
Please, haven't we been hurt enough?
Instead of this nonsense we have passing for D&D on the big screen, why can't we just have a good film that reflects what is so much fun about D&D in the first place? A band of explorers delving into a darkened tomb or musty catacombs rife with sinister traps to overcome, strange monsters to fight, and magical treasure to filch. All the while engaged in snappy banter punctuated by sly digs and bad puns.
THAT is what makes so many people keep coming back to the game.
For starters, why not cast actors that have already admitted to an enjoyment of gaming. VIn Diesel IS one, true, but what about Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Seth Green, and the incredibly hot Jolene Blaylock? All of them would be welcome in a gaming movie, and would likely be able to add the appropriate tone.

I saw Catwoman and it was truly awesome! Great characters, in-depth storyline, true-to-life motivations, and realistic relationships!!
Hell, I'm just kidding. The movie was so bad that even Jennifer Lopez is laughing at it. I only went to see the trailer for the new Batman film. Halle Berry needs to go back to what she does best, namely flashing her breasts in a tawdry attempt to bolster her flagging career.

One of the biggest regrets of my gaming life is that I passed on Talisman. I had a chance to get an unopened and complete boxed set with a ton of expansions for forty bucks and I turned it down. I hear that Talisman is a real experience. To this day I kick myself.

SUCCESS!! I recently was able to acquire every item put out for Warhammer Quest in a single package at an auction. We are going to have a WQ marathon, possibly with four Chaos Warriors (the most diverse of the characters). If we don't go the four warriors route, we will prolly consist of:
Chaos Warrior
Witch Hunter
Elf Ranger
War Priest of Sigmar
Quite an eclectic mix.
We will be running through the three published scenarios, then do maybe five or six of the scenarios included in the main rulesbook. That should take us at least a good 12 hours.
Go Warhammer!

Actually, Curly Joe is the stooge nobody remembers (not to be confused with plain "Curly"). Shemp is always remembered as the ugliest of the stooges.

Damn, Gemm..... Just.... damn.
Anyway:
I would make it my place to learn all I could from our Gnomish band and would take pains to speak their language and adopt their customs in the hopes that they would accept me into their ranks and embrace me as one of them. Because, as we all know:
Being ever so humble, there's no race like Gnome.

Nic, you have reached a level of verbosity and pontification that even I can only dream of. I humbly take off my hat to the gentleman who's fingertips must be very tender indeed right now.
