I've got to admit, I'd pay more for a home with a feature like that! My husband and I are in the market now, and we've always talked about having a secret passageway, even if it's just for the cool factor... Maybe the do-it-yourself kit could come in handy... I love the fingerprint id, or the retina...

He might be too evil for Ravenloft... :shock:

Agreed, but I'm still thankful whenever the composer is not Randy Newman.

It's quite an interesting plotline, with a small secret good battling and protecting against the overwhelmingly large forces of evil. Or applied to a DL's upper echelons, or not, being folks who believe they're doing the DL's work, but aren't exactly on point. Or a group that knows the DL's weakness...

Agree whole-heartedly - great movie! I really liked the ending, though I know others who didn't care for it much.

It was good, no denying, but some of the parts were very graphic. I'll have to find the Walmart version if I want to watch it again. I loved the scenes of Old Town, and the mind games between the cop and the Yellow Man. But I thought Nancy was waaay too chaste and, um, clothed, for a Sin City stripp...

Mercy? You want MERCY!? I'm Chaotic Neutral!!!!111!!one!!111! Of course I don't like to see a player say, in-character, "I'm chaotic neutral", but perhaps that is just my Ravenloft background. I know what you mean, but in a recent session I couldn't help it... Except that it was in horror...

Xanthippe (you've been saying you want to come back to rping but if you want to do it you'll actually have to do it :wink: ) Coan, it's sweet of you to still consider me after my bad behaviour, but I think I'll take a pass. I'd hate to disappoint you, or to garner the anger of my peers, by not keep...

And, Coan, sorry to have offended you. Not my intention. :( Besides, you haven't had a sig-pic up for a few weeks, right?

Seems like the whole issue has been addressed in the General Forum, though. Yay! :D

If it's up for a vote, count me in as pro-avatar, if only to get rid of those space-wasting, absolutely annoying sig pics.

I am ashamed. I don't feel I have the right to express opinion in this forum, as I haven't been a very active member of late ('late' being, oh, eight months). I guess my heart just went out of the game when Bela and Chartreuse left. I can't help but feel a bit guilty. It seems the Halfling story got...

Or should I say, I do leave feedback on the articles... when I read the netzine. Sometimes I just don't. Maybe because I don't like the theme. Maybe because I read one article and it so horrifies me that I can't continue. Mostly, though, it's because I work too darn much and don't feel like reading ...

God Brain, I totally agree with you! I'd never seen the show before, or read the book, so I was interested in seeing what all the fuss was about. I was caught unawares by some of the trite dialogue, but I blame Webber for that. The casting was absolutely IMPECCABLE!!! It really helped me become comp...

An astounding piece of work, which is enough to banish the largely unpleasant memories of the disappointing Quoth The Raven X. I congratulate you on a most excellent issue, chaps. Cheers! :twisted: Is this the same Gentleman? Same use of 'chaps', tone, format. Why the change of mind? Why no username?
