Thanks, I will! I just get antsy because normally it comes through really quick (usually within the lower 4 business days).
Hey team! I need to cancel a few things and also want to know if I can change something. The cancellations are for the Runner's Toolkit and Attitude books I have on pre-order. Also, I just re-upped my subscription to the Campaign Setting, starting with the Inner Sea World Guide. Is there a chance I can get this shipped out ASAP instead of with my next subscription shipment? Thanks! Matt
He's also a replicant and is therefore disqualified. Pshaw! Ridley says he is, Harrison says he isn't and Dick took his story to the grave... Now, don't forget about Jack Ryan, Dr. Richard Kimble or President James Marshall either.
I liked Assassination a LOT. It showed how Jesse James wasn't really a good guy or a bad guy, just a guy that couldn't figure out what he should be. I'll definitely check out the others, thanks!
It's all about being in the right frame of mind. If you don't go in expecting high drama and Shakespearean acting, it comes out pretty well. The best thing I can suggest is to watch the old 5-part Mass Device cartoon (HERE) which is about the same amount of camp/action (before the weekly series took it to high camp) as Rise of Cobra. PS. Just a quick note, the VEOH site from the link above requires you to download their movie player to see the whole thing.
You seem to be forgetting that Mark Hamill is also the Joker. *shivers*I would happily pick a fight with Mark Hamill and know I was going to live. Temeura Morrison on the other hand is fully capable of pounding seven shades of snot out of me. Don't forget C***knocker!
Umm... Jefferson (by far, the biggest liberal of the time) was President at the time of the purchase and had doubts about the constitutionality of purchasing the land, but did so to prevent the French from establishing such a huge presence on the continent. The main opponents were the Federalists party, headed by Alexander Hamilton, and who were largely bankers and businessmen and sought to more closely tie ourselves with the British. And, war with Britain happened anyway in 1812 when we fought back over Britain's impressment of US citizens into the Royal Navy and strict trade restrictions to prevent us from trading with Napoleonic France during the UK's war with France at the time. Anyways, I think it's even more interesting to think if we kept the original module of election for the Presidency where the Vice-President was the guy that got the 2nd highest amount of votes, instead of what we currently have with party's putting forth their "combo" candidates.
Boba Fett, without question. His death was the first travesty in the movie that became unhinged, and hinted of how the SW legacy would go in the future.E-bloody-woks were a 300 foot neon sign that George had personally jumped the shark and everything else he touched was to be tainted by merchandising and greed. Please. Everyone knows that George's official Jumping of the Selachimorpha was when he produced Howard the Duck. He just ain't been right since.
In regards to all the gore, remember that they brought on Rick "American Werewolf in London" Baker to help with the creature and special effects. Cutting back on gore with him would be like asking Ray Harryhausen to not use so much stop-action. As for the fan herself, I'm reminded of the story of my friend who saw Titanic in the theater (because he wanted to see the special effects of the ship sinking). He mentioned in the line to the movie that he couldn't believe he was waiting two hours for a three hour movie about a boat sinking. Then the girls behind him were outraged at him and loudly complained that he "gave away the ending".
Yeah, but has anyone written any songs or made music videos about Riddick? No, I don't think so. Here's a video for Fett... ;)
Alas, Fett survived the sarlacc. Even had a daughter. Wound up working with Han Solo for a time too... But Riddick did outrun the sun on Crematorium.
No worries! I'm used to folks not understanding why some of us prefer transvirtual characters! Personally, my opinion is that gamers who get weirded out by transvirtuals have their OWN set of psychological problems and hangups. Actually, that sounds less like the same gender and more like they play the same character again and again.
Well, none of my female characters (or male characters, or robot characters, etc.) had any of those types of backstories, but I think I know why some of them do. (Of course, the following is NOT true about EVERYONE, but is a generalization to some thought processes. Don't want to offend.) From the perspective of the player, putting together a character of the opposite gender means thinking through all possible avenues of role-playing. So, by creating a backstory of a character that has been traumatized sexually or selling their bodies, it frees the player to have it set in stone how the character feels about sex in the game. If they have been traumatized, it puts it on the DM and other players that the character is not a sex object, taking that aspect of the character out of the equation. Most of the characters that spoke of how they sold their bodies in the past are looking to move past that point in their life, meaning they are going to swing the opposite way and want to be taken seriously as more than the physical aspect. It's kind of a line in the sand the player draws saying "You can treat my character as any other type of character, but don't go there" without having to actually have that discussion. Funny side note: My female samurai earlier was fun to play because the DM of the game was very open about sex in the game (most of the other characters had a hook-up or something similar). My character didn't, mostly because she was on a mission for the emperor. But, being a good DM, he had my character's antagonist being this dashing ronin that spent most of his time flirting with my character.
Not a bad idear...i'll have to bring that up and see how it goes.Has anyone seen said character naked yet? If not talk to your GM maybe they would be ok with you switching the gender and it can slowly come out that "he" is really always been a she pretending to be a "he". Maybe she has enemies looking for her or something. Either that or the character had fallen into the Belt of Gender-Changing trap and is now trapped in a man's body... ;)
Interesting. My samurai character has a very high Charisma score and is very pretty. However, the Charisma score is because of her SCARY intimidation abilities... Hell, she give the half-ogre cleric in the party the willies when she stares down opponents.
From my own experience, I usually get a character idea before I even start rolling the stats out. When my friend wanted to run a Forgotten Realms game based on the Baldur's Gate computer game, we went over what we could pull stuff from. He approved the Samurai class from Complete Warrior and I started thinking about playing a samurai on a quest from Kara-Tur to the Western Heartlands. When working on background, I started building the character as a young warrior who was born poor but 'adopted' by a samurai clan after showing prodigious ability. Somehow, her being female 'fit' her story a lot better. Later, when playing an Eberron campaign, I went with a Changling. In that case, I was saw the picture for Changlings in the Eberron Campaign setting (this one) and my mind immediately created a fully fleshed out back story for her. The third female character I've played is the daughter of my first (and still going) character, the male ranger of Mielikki from the longest campaign I'd been a part of. She followed her father's footsteps and originally was created as an NPC for a campaign I was running. Of course, one of my favorite characters was female. Or male. It was an R2 Astromech droid hacker for a Star Wars game. And he wasn't at all like RD-D2. ;)
Wait, does this just cover Sovereign Press, or Margaret Weis Productions as well? Sovereign Press and MWP are two separate entities. SP handles Sovereign Stone and Dragonlance, while MWP has Serenity, Battlestar Galactica and Serenity (the best gorramn RPG ever). I can't find anything on either sites regarding SP's pulling the pdfs, but I wouldn't doubt it's another step from WotC bringing Dragonlance back in house.
Just in case people didn't know, I've had a page on d20pfsrd.com that keeps track of these things for months... well since final rules were released. You can see that page here if you like. Dude, do you GET any cooler than that? You da man!
