Ragitsu Posted December 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Yes, we are both pretending to be something we are not. However, at the end of the night, I will be closing the book, filing away the sheets, returning the pencils to the holder and dumping the dice back into that bag. As for you? Well...good luck with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragitsu Posted December 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 CHAKOTAY: Computer, identify program. COMPUTER: The program in progress is a holonovel based on the epic Earth poem Beowulf. TUVOK: Beowulf? CHAKOTAY: An ancient English epic, set in sixth century Denmark, if I remember correctly. It's about a hero named Beowulf who fights a creature that's terrorizing a kingdom and murdering its subjects. Monsters and swordplay. That sort of thing.

Clonus Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 That was one of two references to Macbeth in TLOTR. You see in Macbeth, the witches make two prophecies about Macbeth, that he shall not be defeated until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill Shall come against him. MacDuff later orders his men while marching through Birnam Wood to cut wood from the trees to make torches which they then bear on their night attack on Dunsinane. Burning wood. Shakespeare you card. You hack. Anyway this is the reason why the Ents exist, so they could literally make a forest march on Saruman's tower. The second one was the prediction that no man of woman born can slay Macbeth. Turns out that Macduff's mother died in child-birth so he was cut out of her ala the myth about Julius Caesar who gave his name to the Caesarian section. That one really pissed off Tolkien, who realized that if you were going to engage in that kind of word play there were better options like having a nonhuman or a woman kill the target of the prophecy. He went with both, a woman and a nonhuman working together to kill the target. Here's the thing though, it's not that women or hobbits were the Witch King's kryptonite. It's just that he happened to be predestined to die under that particular circumstance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragitsu Posted January 3 Author Report Share Posted January 3 For Certified -> Because life is an adventure and adventures - trekked with boots or books - are life. For Clonus -> All we can do is use our time to leave things a little bit...better. For L. Marcus -> (Just kidding.) We fear the night, though it abounds with beauty. For tkdguy -> May your brush strokes be ever true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragitsu Posted January 7 Author Report Share Posted January 7 The whole point? Neither the character nor (uninitiated) player would be aware of such a "point"; D&D characters (i.e., fictional beings residing in a fantasy world) are unaware of "XP"...a game construct/concept.
