[The 8th Dwarf]

1. Brian Blessed
2. Stephen Fry
3. Bill Bailey
4. Simon Peg

[Terquem]

Jules Vern
HG Wells
Mary Shelly
Brahm Stoker

and it would be a Ravenloft meets Victorian Sci Fi adventure

[Doodlebug Anklebiter]

Whitey Bulger
Al Kaprielian (DM)
Kim Jong-un
Satine Phoenix
Cindy Sheehan

[kmal2t]

Vin Diesel admits he was a DnD nerd..but as bad of an actor he is I bet his RPing is equally bad i.e. "I Live for this sh*t!"...horrid

It wouldn't shock me at all of Colbert has played. He was a huge nerd..and his improv skills would make an awesome GM.

How about

Chuck Norris
Steven Segal
Jackie Chan
Mike Tyson and
Jean Claude Van Damme

DM would be like "Ok thats it. Chuck, no you can't roundhouse kick all of your problems. Steven, squinting and whispering are not considered valid attacks. Jackie I still can't understand what you're saying. Mike you may NOT rape the princess and Jean, no doing the splits gratutiously does not count as a dodge move!

( 4 ) Vin Diesel

I watched an interview where he waxed nostalgic about his character, Melkor. He even knew and admitted it was a Tolkein name (without going into detail). But watching how his eyes misted over you could tell that he was remembering several glories with that character. And when he said he didn't really get to play anymore, he sounded wistful to me. I'd like to give that back to him. I see him as a wizard.

( 3 ) Jennifer Love Hewitt

Ghost Whisperer tells me she's not above fantasy.
Heartbreakers tells me she enjoys being funny (a good thing at the table).
The Tuxedo tell me she enjoys being silly (not the same thing as funny).
Yeah, and there's my opinion that she's gorgeous.
I think she'd make a sassy rogue.

( 2 ) Samuel L. Jackson

Uh, because he's Samuel L. Jackson! Oh, and he's definitely playing the cleric. The fire and brimstone kind. Major circumstance bonus to his Perfom (oratory) if he proselytizes in character.

( 1 ) Maggie Smith

Clash of the Titans
Harry Potter

I think she digs roleplaying. I could see her playing a paladin very effectively.

"CELESTIAL, M%~+#@$@+$%#, DO YOU SPEAK IT!?!?!"

[Spanky the Leprechaun]

William S Burroughs
Hunter S Thompson
Voltaire
Diogenes

[Doodlebug Anklebiter]

That's a pretty awesome list, Spanky.

[Terquem]

Oh, somehow I think Francois-Marie Arouet would be a serious Munchkin (is there a french word for Munchkin?)

Though I've always felt that the line from Candide, "Ochi Sciogura De Esuera Sweza El Cogliangno" is absolutely priceless. (I may have spelled some of that incorrectly, going from memory on this one).

[Doodlebug Anklebiter]

Translation, please?

I'm afraid I read my copy in English and I don't get any hits on google.

Anyway, I expect that while Francois was min-maxing and Diogenes was ubervamping, Bill would be nodding out in the corner and Hunter would just be looking around thinking "what the f##* is this shiznit?"

But, yeah, it would be an awesome, even if just for the drugs.

[Terquem]

The translation is probably not appropriate for these forums, but, hmm, okay, over here, yeah, little closer, hmm, ahem, something like "Oh if only I had (redacted)*"

The line is said by a man as he is trying to behave in a very "goblin like" way with an unconcious woman on the side of the road.

*related to round objects that might be necessary for reproduction.

[Don Juan de Doodlebug]

First off, goblins would never do anything to an unconscious woman on the side of the road, but I am vaguely remembering the scene now. [Scurries off]

O che sciagura d'essere senza c...!

Which the Oxford World Classic edition has translated as:

O what a misfortune to be without b...!

Hee hee!

That is, the translation is funny...

[Spanky the Leprechaun]

Well, this is the best of all possible worlds.

[Pezmerga]

I'd like a diverse group, just to keep it interesting.

Alex Lifeson - Musician - Quirky sense of humor.
Todd Barry - Comedian - Dry sense of humor.
Rashida Jones - Actress - Smart, beautiful, and funny!
Shaquille O'Neal - Athlete - Smart, funny, charismatic!
Neil Gaiman - Author - Yeah I know, top 4. I can't follow directions.
George Bush - Politician - Love him or hate him, you know he would be entertaining!

Probably depends on how hungry the goblin is.

[Lathiira]

Ian McKellan, Neil Gaiman, Samuel L. Jackson, and Kate Beckinsale. Just for kicks, I'd make it an evil campaign just to see how Magneto and an evil Nick Fury could work. Gaiman might be the party conscience, and Beckinsale, well, I admit she made me shiver in Total Recall as one of the bad guys. Not a woman I'd want to be on the bad side of :)

[The 8th Dwarf]

This would be an interesting table. With Wonder Woman as GM.
