Ho! Ho! Ho!
That's awesome! :D
Tomorrow night may be working til 10 p.m. so might not be around too much. Have a feeling we might be able to hit it hard and fast though; maybe 8 p.m. Don't know yet.
I got the Mwangi jungle book. I like it a lot.

Nice. I've been thinking about getting that one myself. What's in it?
Also, this weekend we went and saw Toy Story III and Jonah Hex. The Toy Story movie was excellent, highly recommended for anyone. I liked Jonah Hex myself, but there's probably no need to shell out hard-earned money to see it in the theatre.
Right on....
it's got a few monsters; nothing groundbreaking; some teaser races for future bestiary stuff in the back of AP's; lotsa cities and "lost jungle cities" which I really tweak on.
Little talk about adventuring in the jungle; perils and hazards therein.
Hey, having RL issues once again. Will try and keep up, but as a default, just have Pip strum his +3 Inspire courage and provide the soundtracks for any battles. Assume he keeps close to Oso in case of needed healage.
Right on; good luck!
Book of Eli is awesome.
Yeah; I can see that.
I was just tweaking on the whole Shogun Assassin/Lone Wolf and Cub homage that it was.

Oh, absolutely. My five copper pieces:
A) Keep the book, but make Gary Oldman's character a bit less ridiculous, and all of a sudden you have a real post-apocalyptic classic. I could live with the other stuff, but he was just a bad villain for the original book.
Or
B) Change the book and keep Ol' Gary the way he is. If the book was, say, some sorta engineering manual, his behaviour becomes much more understandable, and he suddenly becomes a much better villain.
I guess my favorite thing...
(lol) Oldman's always a freak. He's done lots better movies. I guess his main reason for his power base is he knows stuff.....kinda tenuous in a violent world, but there it is. He wouldn't make it as an orc chieftan. The guy he played in the Professional, or in True Romance (heh heh giving me idears) would've made it as an orc chieftan, but not this dink butt. Too bad Chris Walken wasn't available.
re: Children of Men:
The whole premise, though, of "no children born" I had trouble buying; it was corny.
On my side, Just a note to let all know that I will be traveling on a family visit this week. I may have occasional internet access, but nothing consistent. If so I will post when able.
I should be back to 'normal' by next Sat, or Sun at latest.
Have a happy 4th!

Right on, dude; have a good time!
Thanks! We got lotsa rain last night, which is extremely abnormal for Texas, but the fireworks went on.
Sounds.....relaxing.
No (non-municipal) fireworks here in the Peoples Repbulic of Massachusetts either. Spending the day doing laundry, weeding vegetables, linseed oiling a few tools, and nostalgically playing with my minis.
HOLY S@%*!
I hate musclenerds.
They didn't get f!@*ed with.
Hellz yeah; it's a production to bring my kids, but a swim's a good thing.
I try to pretend that movie never happened.
;)

Speaking of movies - any thoughts on this? I'm sure it'll be better than Howard The Duck, but which movies aren't?
Wow. I'm excited about the possibilities for that movie!. IF they don't sc@w it up. As they usually do. I guess it all depends on who gets ahold of it?
BTW- I shall be absent this weekend myself. I have the opportunity to attend Mechacon (Anime Convention) in New Orleans this weekend. (Fri-Sun, July 16-18) So I shall be out of touch till Sunday night. At the earliest. Monday Morning at the latest.
I'm going to participate in the 2nd of 6 planned mega-scenarios for Star Wars (scenarios planned over 6 years, Both RPG and Minis!)
Wish me luck! :D

Yeah; I can't wait.
The concept stuff I've seen here and there is awesome.
No cons for me either.

I went to a few back in the day, end of high school, start of university. Had some fun, but really just went there to play a few games, never really got into the whole atmosphere. And never tried organised play (I think Living Ravensbluff was a big one at that time) just a few one offs at cons here and there. Did quite well, I think I still have some rpg related trophies somewhere about.

I enjoy Cons alot but two kids and the rest mean that this weekend is my one Con away all year. Its going to be fun and meeting mates I only see at Cons is a great way to catch up. Some of them I have known for over a decade now.
But now that GenconUK is defunct, there isn't really a big con like in the US. I've been to the US one in Milwaukee once and it was a marvellous memory. Spent a small fortune on figures and stuff at the auction (which ran all four days solid).
My trophies are in the garage gathering dust like most of my gaming folders and books.
Cheers
Yeah; I wanna see Inception. Looks really cool.
Naah; I was just making fun of my own lack of understanding of physics on one of JJ's comments on facebook.
Now I guess there's moon succubi as well.
I wasn't all that impressed with myself.
