Thundercats fake fan trailer
That was incredibly impressive... and kinda disturbing. Who spends that kind of time and attention on Thundercats??? I hope it was some sorta project.
I.....don't know....
and with that; gonna goof around with the kids out and about for a couplea hours.
"Cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,...."
Also gotta remember to pick Rod some spells for the present opening, make me a 4e character for the River Kingdoms, and
come up with some more madness for Masks of Sasserine over there. I think it's pretty close to closure; it better be because if not you guys are gonna be 16th level when you hit the Isle of Dread, and I'll have to put you up against 25 half fiend awakened tyrannosaurus rex barbarians. Though I guess, "pretty soon" in pbp terms would prolly equivalate out to Halloween.

Meh, whatever.
Stig will wade in and cleave.
I guess at this point, Pip'll say something like "I think I'll go report back about all this at the Church of the Whirling Fury" and take off for a little bit; maybe go hang out with Riese a little.
(LOL) You might have to burn the Silk Merchants' mansion down, man!
IDK what the powers-that-be would think;
fire is cool though.
I tried really hard at chemistry; couldn't get it.
I broke a mercury thermometer and had to clean it up with the yellow sulfur.
In biology, none of the stuff made sense, but I could dissect like a master. My biology lab teacher guy said "sometimes, I am thinking you are utterly useless. Other times, you surprise me. What is the deal with you?"
I will admit to being overly fascinated with the poor sods in the black sacs. Too bad I was an indifferent biology and chemistry student back in high school.
It's funny, though; I can never quite tell just what, if anything, is going to pique the players' fancy.
I think I gotta go do some stuff about the yardwork for a couple hours; I'll be back around maybe 2 hours to check in.
Wow...that's pretty bad if it's bad acting for a chop sockey.
When I get around to it, I'll try to break it all down into a brief synopsis for you....it's kinda all over the place and rambling and whatnot...
Lotsa people bawling for stuff at me ATM, so it might be a bit.
Gotta piss off a couple hours; nothing much happening onnyhoo.
OK, I'll be in catch-up mode for a couple of days as I wasn't able to keep up with the game while on holiday. I'm travelling again tomorrow but I can probably have a read in the hotel room, probably while suffering from jetlag again (joy).
Traveling after traveling. I hate that. Had to do that a few weeks back.
I'd like to put in an order for some magic armor. Stig is 10th and he's still rattling around in 3rd level plate.
=)
Hehe.
Man....I gotta come up with some tougher people to put agin you guys.....177 h.p......WTF!!!

This fight is far from over - we dropped one of them, but Stig's down, and we've rolled ridiculously well so far. Once the karma of the dice gods even out, we might be in trouble.
I'm worried about the larger ramifications of this fight, especially as it seems somewhat unnecessary. Still, they were a bunch of dicks, so to hell with them.
Lawful neutral....go figure.
Oh; this is my "Batman homage," as it were.
My only ulterior motive was to demonstrate that it could be done without being utterly wanky.
And for getting some DM respect, there's nothing like dropping the tank in the first round.
It's just "costumed vigilantes" and smackemup fighting; dark gritty "noir" type vibe, somber, sorta urban bleak.
ghosty posty
That clears it up (keep in mind that my references are Adam West Batman and the movie with Danny DeVito as the Penguin). ;P
I'd say you're doing a bang-up job.
Mine too for th' most part.....
Hmm.....Christopher Walken's in all that duods' films....

It's always melancholy for me with these pbp's.....it means some poor sap's gotta sit on the sidlines for a good 2-3 days...
LOL.
By the way, I saw Ninja Assassin too on the weekend. Loved it.
Really, it is mindless (campy, was never intended to be serious), has Sho Kosugi, and plays the ninja cliches really well. It is way more Asian than most of the ninja crap out there (example, the love affair does not result in a hollywood f@@~ scene, but instead in a characteristically Asian love tragedy)
If you haven't paid for it, and have some time to kill, and you like ninjas enough to see you through a couple of (not indominable) plot holes, I would say "see it". I've seen way worse... Ninja (2010) for example.
... and not for the same state of mind as Hurt Locker, that's for certain.
Right on....
I HATED f%+!ing Last Samurai because I don't feel like I need Tom Cruise up there to interact with 19th century Japan, so I like the idea of tragic romance instead of typical boy gets/loses/f*@+s girl westernized Chinese canned chow mein crapola.
Maybe I'll check it out if I get a chance.

Haha. No worries.
Plus, the samurai HAD to be the HEROES of TEH PIPPELZ coz they HAD TO FOLLOW BRAVEFARTZ formilla or AMERIKUNZ wouldn't GET IT.
The Hurt Locker is frikkin tight. It's up there; best picture; if it didn't deserve it well it belongs up there in that company. Tight flick, man.
Another thing about Ninja Assasin is: NO WHITE BOY WHO BECOMES NINJA.
F*%+ I am so tired of that.
The ronin ninja is very f$@#ing ninja looking. They didn't even cave in for one of the Asian dudes who looks sort of vaguely North America.... He was played by Rain, a Korean pop idol (who knew he could do the moves) who is famous all over Korea, Japan, and CHina, and somewhat in the Philippines too. In fact, you need to know that to get a couple of the jokes.

Yah I was pretty meh about Last Samurai. Just more American Ninja BS.
Frank Miller was the last guy to do right with whitey-learns-oriental-secrets schtick: Elektra. (And the movies were crap, am I right?)
Acting was better than moderate. Really ninjas don't have feelings unless they are avenging anyway, and that's when they got the masks on.
Elektra movie was useless. Jennifer Garner is hot but....we have the interwebz so whupty do.
I think the original Miller Wolverine 4 ish was pretty freakin tight; Elektra was tight; Miller was awesome back in the day.
But, having seen Seven Samurai, and Toshiro Mifune in Samurai 1-3 as Musashi, and Rashomon, and.....Ran.....and....etc...etc...
47 Ronin.....
I just DON'T NEED Tom Cruise there to access feudal Japan for me.

As you see a little upthread, I thought Ninja Assassin was pretty crappy. However, if they'd taken out all the white people, it would actually have been pretty cool, and I agree with most of Kruelaid's points. Now, if it had been a white ninja... *shudder*
Elektra... Now that was pretty much beyond saving.
