Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. Lead in: I seldom talk to people at work unless I really have something to say. In my job, many annoying people talk to me and distract me from work. Especially project managers. Me: Hello David David (a project manager): *long silent pause* Are you talking to me? Me: Yes. I've been sick. This doesn't mean we're going to have a conversation. David (a project manager): Clearly you feel better. Me: No one told you to talk.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Nightsabers. They use uniformly created blades (like the Imperial Knights of the Legacy period) with black blades. Bubblegum Crisis is another show

Re: "Neat" Pictures I saw the same thing!

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... The line requires some setup: There in an NPC/antagonist in my Star Wars game. His name is Darth Arcanus and he has formed his own order called the Nightsabers. He claims that they are not Sith and they are not Jedi (though his master was Sith) and he wears a metal featureless mask. The guy is clearly savvy and is obviously playing his enemies off of one another. He and the Nightsabers are carving out a section of the galaxy of their own by freeing slave worlds from the Hutts (and others) and he was televised on the Holonet during a battle when his shirt was ripped off to reveal a buff torso covered in scars. Within a day, every Holodrama on the net had their leading man end up getting horrible scars and walking around shirtless. Clearly this look plays well with the audience. Here's the dialog that followed: Drunken Duros Captain PC: Psh. That's so tacky and so obvious. All the female players: Yum. Shirtless and scars. Drunken Duros Captain PC (turning to the Medical Droid): Prep the medbay!

Re: A Thread for Random Videos You know, I... I expected more from you. I thought you'd be smarter than this.

Re: Super Transportation For those, like me, obsessed with the Monowheel Monowheels: The Weirdest Transport Known to Man Thanks to Steve Long for reminding me how much I love these wacky things.

Re: A Thread for Random Videos I am praying that Scott can capture lightning in a bottle again.

Re: Calling all Green Lanterns Perhaps you and I have a different definition of 'skanky'

Re: Calling all Green Lanterns Ah. I completely missed that reference. Good stiff. Another iteration of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (America) the 80s edition

Re: The Wondrous Lady Teodora, Player Nonpareil I remain in favor of this character. And I would very much like to see her minions -- and any adversaries she might have.

Re: Heroes to Villains Always a good idea. Same with monsters. Look and see what the powers do, make up a new description, file off the serial numbers, and BAM you have a villain.

Re: Who are the copies/pastiches/tributes/captain ersatz in your campaigns? Thanks for sharing. I love Wildcat and I like the sketch (and the build) quite a lot.

Re: The cranky thread I'm sorry to hear that your dad is not doing well, but I'm happy that it was not as bad as you thought.

Re: A Thread for Random Videos Thanks for sharing. My DVR recording cut out the ending.

Re: Calling all Green Lanterns

Re: Calling all Green Lanterns Certainly so in the case of Star Sapphire. In the case of the Empress, the Eye of Erkon gave her a variety of powers originally and was later retconned into being a prototype for the power rings. So, in that sense I can see it.

Re: Are there ANY good plant/wood powers names? Whooooooooo!
