Alton Brown should be Dendybar the Mottled then, he dies by being strangled by his own over inflated hubris and creation.
Hah!
OK, now that I'm not really joking anymore, I think I have an actual list.
Regis - Cuba Gooding Junior. And not just because he's from my hometown either!
Cattie-Brie - List is already done by my fellow Fawtlites.
Artemis Entreri - ... If Entreri wasn't so damned hard to kill, I'd say Sean Bean. Just fits my mental picture of him.
Drizz't - No idea.
Cuba Gooding Junior is actually a pretty good choice for the slick-talking excited side-kick/comedy relief character who can also throw-down when needed.
Sean Bean... alas, the man just can't stay alive. (It was how I knew <SPOILER ALERT> happened, even before I finished Game of Thrones without ever having seen the show.)
So, i guess Cattie-Brie might come down to Jennifer Lawrence (established as being handy with a bow, and talking about the emotions of using said bow) and Scarlett Johannson (established as kicking ass, and tolerating Joss Whedon).
Oh! These are actually pretty solid.
EDIT: NOT THAT SOLID. DANG NINJAS. *retakes clothes and dresses*

Wentworth Miller certainly looks like he could be an awesome swordsman/assassin, and thanks to his roles in The Flash we know he can do villains.If you had Miller as Entreri and Idris Elba as Jarlaxle in a buddy/road movie together, would you even need Drizzt and the Companions of the Hall?
Actually, no. I would watch the heck out of that film.
Of course, Entreri would already have to have killed and drained (or have to start out by killing and draining) the shade, otherwise he's not rare and special enough, but, you know. :)
(Actually, he is really cool that he has partial shade traits.)

I see Cary Elwes as Jarlaxle. That smirk. Plus he plays excellent villains.

Also,
Oh! Nick Offerman as either Khelben or Malchor Harpell, and either Fred Armison or Cyril from Archer (I'm spacing on the name!) as Harkle Harpell.

I think you have these rolls reversed. Enteri is serious, gruff, quiet, and most importantly, human and thus ages faster than Jarlaxle and looks more traditionally masculine. Jarlaxle is smart, and a planner, but he's also whimsical and does things just to do them.
Elba, greybeard that he has and yet still rugged and masculine with a much more squared jawline than the actor you linked, who has played nothing but serious, gruff, composed, masculine dudes would portray Enteri much, much better than Jarlaxle.

Except Entreri may well be immortal now because of the whole "drain a shade dry with that dagger of vampiric healing of his" thing that happened a while back.
If they're going to make a movie, more likely than not they'd set it in the earlier books, prior to that particular event.

True, but it stopped his aging, it didn't reverse it.

Yeah, i read it further, seemed like waste, so i deleted it, sorry!
on first read it seemed funny, subsequent reflection just made it seem stupid, pointless and childish (and kind of sexist, to be honest).

What?
I'm guessing he's getting fed up with the general negativity and obstinance that can be prevalent in other parts of the boards. :-)
To some extent. Sometimes it's just weird, though.
"Here's a good conversation thing."
"Yeah, let's have a good conversation thing."
"NOPE. BLLAAAARRRRGG~!"
It's a frustrating cycle.
What's worse is you get dragged into it.
Not all Rules Discussion threads end that way, but just when you think you're getting out of the mire...
But sometimes there's some great stuff that comes from them, too. It's just frustrating when you've got several arguments down, people have come to an understanding (even if that understanding is "We'll agree to interpret this differently, with no malice." followed by, "Nope, you're wrong and your experience and understanding of what happened in your own actual life is wrong; I'll tell you what you really experienced." which, you know, is silly.
I'm all for people defeating my arguments, but please: do so with things that make sense!
EDIT: And not just my arguments! Anyone's! Bring up new evidence, don't cherry-pick examples! If the example is flawed, you can note how it's flawed, but a flawed example doesn't make evidence for your own argument... it makes it a flawed example. If you don't think it says what the person is trying to get across with it, ask, and clarify, by all means! Sigh. And it's frustrating when it happens to people who really mean well, too. I've been there, and I've done that sort of thing, and I honestly don't mean to. It's a thing.
Hence the ":I" face instead of any sort of angry eyebrows. :)

I don't understand the point of the rule forums (outside of PFS).
If you're a player, ask your GM. It doesn't matter what the strangers on the internet's opinions are - if he disagrees you can't show him the thread and overrule him!
If you're the GM, just make a ruling. It's entirely up to you anyway - just got with what seems right and fair to you, because if the official answer doesn't seem fair, you'll houserule or tweak anyway.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I think I've only looked up one thing on the FAQ even (i looked up a nerf to MA) yeah rules forums aren't for me.
Other players outside my group?
Not really, no. It doesn't really matter what anyone outside the game says if the other players and/or GM disagree.
The creators? Yes. As a GM. As a player it seems like going over mom and dad's head and whining to grandparents. Disrespectful and likely to get the parents annoyed, and they're the ones you have to live with.
Did you even read the context of what I said? I said it doesn't matter If the rest of the group and/or GM disagree. That has nothing to do with my personal opinion.
Put it this way - if you, as a player, are looking a situation up, you already asked your GM, he already gave his ruling, and now you're trying to prive him wrong (if you agreed with it you wouldn't be looking it up - simple logic). What happens if everyone on the thread thinks he was wrong (which never happens, it's always a mixed response if its an unsettled issue)? Do you think you're gonna just link the thread and be like "Well two thirds of these people said you should add the mithral price BEFORE doubling for large size, while only one third said to do so after!" The GM is gonna look at you like "are you serious?"
I will grant a case can be made for an undecided GM - I have been on the fence as a GM and seeked opinions...so perhaps I have to modify my statement and say I understand the point for GM's but I reiterate my statement that it is disrespectful for a player.

The context is that you don't understand the point of rules forums that serve you no purpose. But this isn't a discussion for FaWtL, so I'll leave it at that.
Full disclosure: I have never brought up a rules thread outside of the forum other than to say 'can you believe this s$#*?'
Fair enough
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
For the first five years or more I've been around or posting, I only went to the AP boards, that's it, it wasn't until Orthos told me what FaWtL was and NobodysHome pointed out there was a whole section of campaign journals did I ever venture anywhere else. :-)

In a drastic change of tone, how was Deadpool to those who saw it? I probably will catch it in a week when it gets to the cheap tickets at the good theater with the comfy seats.
Did it live up to expectations?
I finally saw Star Wars. 10/10. I saw the similarities to episode IV - I considered them homages. There was enough different to keep me smiling.

I still need to see Deadpool. We thought about trying to see it while at Disneyland, but the timing didn't work out with opening weekend crowds.
As for Star Wars, my opinion remains that it was a good movie because it followed IV so closely, with enough differences to be more than a remake.

Yes, on occasion.

Indeed we can all stand to learn a thing or two about many rulings. Just keep in mind if you are a player that your GM has VETO over any forum posts, any rules FAQ, heck even the core rules themselves.

Deadpool and Suicide Squad, two movies I will watch this year, I hear Deadpool is really good. :-)
The only thing I learned from the rule boards, was Kineticist's make for s%##ty Lichs, also Overwhelming Soul is the worst.

Impus Major saw it with his friends (and Kwai Chang's player as the adult, for those who follow the Serpent's Skull thread), and even he said that the humor was a bit crude for him and his friends.
When your humor is too crude for 14-year-old boys, you have hit your target audience... somewhere... I think...

Catti-brie is really difficult to cast. After eight or so books, she still didn't have ANY sort of personality. Thus, to do her justice, you would need a redheaded female Keanu. Miss Boardface. That is going to take either a miracle of casting, or acting chops the world has never seen before...
