Hilarious. Wear your brown pants, because you just might s*+~ yourself laughing.

My wife and I are debating about whether to let our very mature 15-year-old daughter see it. Our 8 and 10 year old boys will be very disappointed that we will not let them see it. I don't think my 9 year old daughters will care, but they're certainly not seeing it either.

Here is your litmus test:

Do you know what pegging is? Y/N

If "Yes", enjoy your movie.

If "No" please do not subject yourself to this movie.

Home made enchilada with some sour cream on top!

I once turned vegetarian as well, but some heroes came and killed the Head Vegetarian and all the lesser vegetarians became human again...

Please share.

Roundabouts in my hometown, in northern Indiana.

- My hometown (which I moved away from a few months ago) is planning on putting in a roundabout on an intersection right next to a hospital. Because... you know... ambulance's need a challenge.

- Mother's boss told me a story about how a friend of his called him while driving. Said he was in a roundabout, and had been for the last 30 minutes to an hour. Then he said he didn't know how to get out of it. Mother's boss had to tell him how to get out of the roundabout. It took only one sentence.

Hey kids look! Big Ben. House of Parliament!

three more hours of trying to get out of roundabout

kids...big ben...parliament...

I like to mix up the phrase "sharpest knife in the drawer" and its variants

I suspect this is going to drive me to the "Apologize to Chris" thread, but here are some common ones in my neighborhood:

Joggers running in the street, especially after dark

Said joggers and other pedestrians crossing against red lights with traffic coming, especially in dark clothing at night

Bicyclists riding in parallel while traffic backs up behind them. Isn't bicycling dangerous enough without further infuriating drivers?

Bicyclists who don't wear helmets. In 40+ years and tens of thousands of miles of commuting by bicycle, my mother and I have broken "only" 3. That's 3 skull fractures our family didn't have to suffer through

no more than two abreast, my brothers.

And they complain they should be respected while on the road, yet they fly through stop signs and red lights with reckless abandon, cut through gas stations to avoid stopping, and are generally a complete nuisance.

First....wow, I can't believe this thread is still going.

Second...this all boils down to faith. There is, quite simply, no empirical evidence for the existence of God; you either have faith, or you don't. Personally, I don't, but I don't begrudge others their faith as long as they don't use it as an excuse to impinge on the freedom of others.

This always seems odd. Why is this an acceptable answer for religion but not for anything else? In no other area of life does someone not at least get a ribbing for coming up with whacky ideas.

UFO convention= nut job.

Religious convocation= solemn even beyond social reproach. and deserving of respect (silly hyperbole there, but from you, I'm not surprised)

REASON: Mainly because we have had religion for the majority of human existence, and have ascribed a certain level of respect, if not for the people who follow their religion, but at least to the convention that religion is not inherently a "bad" thing (as it has been portrayed on these boards).

UFO's, as a convention have only really been a "thing" since about the 50's.

Given time, I'm sure the concept of UFO's will become a question of "when will they arrive", not "whether they exist".

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! (say it again y'all!)

I don't care how anybody feels about the dentist/big game hunter. Posting threats on the door of his business AND home is sickening.

Event Horizon!

I've seen a lot of horror movies without batting an eye; this one freaked me out!

The implications that they don't spell out are part of the horror. The survivors seemingly embracing what has happened to them ... eeeewwww.

Those of us who play the game will swear that movie is a prequel to Warhammer 40k. It sure does seem that way!

So I suppose I'm one of the few that actually enjoyed the Green Lantern movie?

I also enjoyed the Green Lantern animated show which I think was by Bruce Timm.

Nope, I appreciated it for what it was. Light summer popcorn fare. Granted, I'm no big fan of DC comics, so I don't know one Green Lantern from the next.

I have enough exposure to DC material to identify major heroes and villains. But not the intricacies of their plots, motivations, etc.

Call it skill level 1 with a +2 Int bonus.

If you're going to see this movie, it might be in your best interest to see it at a discount theater, or on a night when your local cinema has a "1/2 price" night or something like that. Mine has $5.00 Tuesdays with free popcorn to members of the club.

REASONS: The show does a fairly good job of building suspense, and it tries to make you interested in the characters. There were a couple of points that I was seriously questioning what some of the characters were doing. There were also a couple of occasions where you seem to led to believe the main character is talking to a wall at night, but then they show the other side of the wall and it is bright golden daylight!

The motivations of the Bishop at the end come off as very suspect. Some of the things he does are not explained, and in character, he tells us that we have to just "trust him" <WARNING! WARNING!!>. At one point I couldn't decide if he was in league with the Bad Guy or not.

The biggest problem is the pacing. All throughout they are building tension and character. Very nice. Then the really strange stuff starts happening. Awesome! Then suddenly the budget for the movie ran out and they said "OK THAT'S IT!" and the movie was over. I wandered out of the theater looking at my watch wondering if the movie was really 1 hr 40 min. It felt very short.

Also, if you like Djimon Hounsou (Guardians of the Galaxy, How to Train Your Dragon 2, Gladiator), he has a couple of scenes, but he is not a primary character. He has a couple of scenes that are enjoyable, just not enough.

My first character was an elf (back when being an elf was a full time job). I think that was the DnD boxed set. Pretty sure he died to giants...

[Plays the distress signal]

Miller: Go on.

D.J.: I thought it said "liberate me" - "save me." But it's not "me." It's "liberate tutame" - "save yourself." And it gets worse.

[Plays the distress signal again]

D.J.: There - I think that says "ex inferis." "Save yourself... from hell."

ok, found the good stuff. I'm looking at Antiquarian (how Lovecraftian!)

So, have not found Quick Start rules, cannot purchase a pdf w/o buying the hard copy book. I'll pass. If you could do the Chaosium version, I already have pdf's of that AND a character builder on Hero Lab for CoC.

I'm always interested in losing my mind to "Horrors Man Was Not Meant To Know™"

Looking up the quick start rules. (Work filters might block it, so I may not be able to have a character ready until I get home)

Lissa- I am not sure I saw the event you refer to, I haven't seen the whole series.

I can see what you mean about not wanting Mia representing the trans community. Trans women are presented in the media as killers, it started with "Silence of the Lambs" as far as I know, quite often. I don't know of even a single instance of this happening in real life. There probably is one or two, but as for trans people being inclined to serious crime... certainly not.

From what I saw, Mia wasn't obviously mentally ill, or not as I saw it. Had a lot to deal with yes.

Sleepaway Camp is older. 1983. Although that movie could be considered a subversion as the boy's uncle forced him to dress like a girl.

We all want to make characters with depth and story. Sometimes, though, we get so caught up by our characters' day jobs that we forget they have lives beyond tomb raiding and dungeon delving. This week's piece is about showing how your characters' hobbies and passions can round them out, and make them more three-dimensional, as well as more entertaining to have at the table.

What Does Your Character Do When Not Adventuring?

I share a story in the entry of a barbarian I had whose hobbies totally shifted how I played him. How about you all? Any good stories to tell about how what your character did when not chasing plot hooks affected who they were?

My rogue sits in a dark room....waiting...

Crimson Slaughter. Take from them everything, leave only corpses! Most of my Brothers are attached to the Black Legion as part of Abbadon's Crusade...

I'm a nagaji slayer my stats are 20/17/15/15/12/11 and I use a greatsword. I want to attack twice in a round at least. What do I need to do or is their a way to do it now. I see things like full round actions and some weapons or Npcs have the +5/+2. How do I get that?

Indeed. I believe we've all posted our actions, yes? We're not missing anyone?

Correctamundo! Just waiting on NPC's to do their thing.

Overall, after this fight and we have ourselves a crib we should pull a Scooby Doo and split up (gang). The Astartes can scout out the underhive around the fort, wipe out some trouble makers to make a name for themselves, and throw their weight around to get us more followers. The humans can head up to the hive itself to get solid information on the hive - layout, population, defenders, and possibly start making connections with proper citizens. While we do want to make inroads with the nobles upstairs, I think the Mechanicus are uniquely vulnerable to being infiltrated and corrupted, considering how secretive they are anyways.

I'm all for this....after we talk to the minions we already have. I hate walking into situations blind.

Gotta finish Round 1 of combat too

I really liked Birgitte Hjort Sørensen's character.

I quite like Hephaest's idea of going for the machinery.

I wouldn't mind having a couple of war machines bound to us. Thankfully they gave guidelines in ToD for such things! (Unfortunately, such things can be rather difficult to make :P)

Watched Game of Thrones Season 5 Episode 8. Hottie, Birgitte Hjort Sørensen was on. Sadly, she only made a one-episode appearance.

I'm a big fan of consolidating our power. From the followers we do have we should be able to learn how and when food and water are made available, and also who controls said resources. Through threat of violence, or by discovering hidden vices we may be able to leverage those primary concerns.

Once we have the primaries covered, we can expand our control (using the same methods) to wresting control of entertainment needs (drugs, gambling, vice). This means gaining control of the gangs that operate said entertainments. Adyl and Julie would be outstanding in that regard. Petty gangs, being what they are, understand direct leverage through violence and the threat of same.

You and I (Valefor) can work to gain leverage of the more delicate resources (arms, armor, mercantile wealth), through Charm and judicious application of Psychic power we may be able wrest control, or at least manipulate supplies in our direction. This will give us the necessary wealth to use for bribery, or supplying our forces.

Between Domitan and Hephaest, there is a brilliance available to pore through reams of reports to direct our action. Hephaest may be able to link directly into the communications centers of the hive, and monitor and redirect supplies to us, and the threat of discovery away from us. Dom, if you have any ideas on how else you could contribute, please chime in.

Once we have control of the vice in this miserable hive we can start building a library of information with which to blackmail the nobility to our will. Some will join willingly, others will be useful tools. All will be used or discarded to our advantage.

The main points that all of us must use is our discernment to identify how best to turn the population to our will. Violence, bribery, blackmail or rhetoric are all useful tools. Once we have direct control of multiple avenues we can start disrupting regular trade, cause riots at will and tax the resources of the local constabulary/PDF, picking at the edges and eliminating powerful opponents (leaders) as they arise. When they are sufficiently spread thin we can lead a general uprising across multiple fronts to cause the entire hive to capitulate. Then we have total control.

And before anyone asks, the answer is "Yes, I monitor these forums almost constantly".

in round 2 I'll be doing the same thing I did previously (1/2 move 8m out of the blood spattered area, fire off Doombolt (Push 4 this time to guarantee damage)). Also, at least we have one post on Sunday...I really don't want this to die off.

Point of Order! I'm spilling blood faster than the Khornate Berzerker! YAY ME! :D Big six meter (20 feet for you non-metric folks!) puddles of it...

And I'll be smart enough to half move out of it so I don't slip and break my hip or something stupid like that LOL

I can just see the Inquisitors trying to explain that sh%t too..

Inq1: Ummm...big puddle o' blood here...footprints leading out of it and no body...

Inq2: Well someone must've hemorrhaged pretty bad, but they just walked it off I guess...

Inq1: You thing what I'm thinking?

Inq2: Yes and that's gross, just blame it on Chaos and let's get the mop brigade working on it!

Just gonna drop THIS here.

Domitan thunders towards the Fort, his force scythe gleaming with Warp energy.

Zurias moves forward (half move: 8m) then reaches up to the sky with one hand, physically pulling Warp energy to him. His off hand grips the charm at his belt.

Pressure builds around Zurias as he flings a clotted black and purple bolt at the guard on the parapet. The energy sinks into the ground and re-emerges as blood which swells out of the paving stones and rocks around him!

Thanks!

Initiative: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13I'll take this one, I guess:D

GM...you mentioned the wall with a parapet. What sort of entrance is there? Are we looking at a rickety gate with obvious holes, or is it substantially reinforced or what?
