This just in, the losers that made the Gamers video are making a sequel. There will even be a crappy d20 module by one of the knockoff d20 companies based on this shitty movie. I cannot wait. Even though this looks weirder and less DnD than the first film. I worry about the preview clip that claims "more gorilla" and "less technical" to mean "more shitty, more lazy."

I met a comic book dude here who I discovered had played Marvel RPG all the time when he was a kid. I always thought Marvel RPG was something the Gaults made up entirely or ordered from an tiny ad next to X-ray goggles in the back of a comic. book I guess people all over rolled the big d30. Speaking of comics, this other dude told me he has one of two copies of a trailer for the 1994 Fantastic Four film that was entirely killed after production and never released. He told me the guy who owned the rights to the Four learned Hollywood was considering many a movie about them so he dumped some money into a shitty to move in order to hijack them to pay him to put the thing to bed rather than allow it to deteriorate the brand and their chances to succeed with their movie, profitting him four times his investment. This could all be totally wrong, not that I would be able to confirm any of it. here is the IMDB link: imdb.com/title/tt0109770/

Ok,
Just to clear the record. No system in the history of the world ever used a d30. The d30 was like some dice made up solely to be the biggest dice. This was later outdone with the d100.
When I was young larry and ken used a d20 for D&D. I dont know why, no version of D&D ever used a d30 for anything.
But back then we never even read the rules. Fireball sounded big, so we used the biggest dice we had. The d30.
Having learned from larry and ken this is how I introduced D&D to my friends. Andrew Lemon knew the right way but i quickly decided he was strange and stole booth from him. Importing booths OGAR charcter from andrews campaign.
To my knowlegde only when 2nd edition came out did anyone ever read a rule book and learned that you used a d20 to hit and fireball was done with d6's.
Marvel super heroes. I thought i was the first to own this thing but even then it was a second edition. Later larry hooked up with The scott cultis fag clan and they did it too. Still no d30. I am preatty sure everything in Marvel was done with d100's. But it was really silly cause the different heroes had immencly differing power levels. Hulk got 2 aqttacks each doing 100 points of damage. The punisher used guns that did 10 poiints of damage.
Thats is the sum of knowledge.

That movie was produced and it was really bad right down to the batman tv series wows and pows pop ups. Marvel tried to act like it never existed but it can be found.

OK, so in July Dave Arneson is attending a DnD convention in Durham (http://www.warhorn.net/trinocconblackmoor/). I might have to sneak in there to see what these things are all about and what this guy looks like in person. In researching this (@http://www.warhorn.net/) I stumbled across a convention in Newburgh in October: www.tacticalretreat.net/

Thanks Rob, I wish everyone would respect my information the way that you do. I should buy a shirt that I would where to work that says on the front "Dave Buckley knows" and on the back "Endorsed by Rob G message boards". When people question my information I would point to the front of the shirt. As I walk away and they are left wondering if they should cower to my information they will see the endorsement on my back and know for sure. In fact I will have this printed and ready for the convention for the inevitable debate with Dave Arneson. He'll ask me what my problem is with his costume and desire to swing rubber swords, I will cite some online source chronicalling injury rates with rubber swords versus pencil and paper roleplaying, leaving him paralyzed as I walk away leaving him with only the though "if the Rob G messageboard endorses him, maybe he is right after all"
OK, so I had a few too many minutes as work and a sick sense of humor. Sue me.

PS I caught the trailer for the Fantastic 4 movie (modify: make that the old one referenced earlier in this thread, not the new release). It looked pretty aweful. The rubberband man literally standing beside a door with a very obvisouly fake leg extention that he used to trip several enemies running through the door one after another. Not sure if they meant the thing to me funny but it looked like it could be. The production value actually looked a little better than I thought it would be. I expected cardboard box cutout to be the Thing from what this guy told me about it, it just looked like a rubber suit which I rate as as good as many CGI effects on the screen anyway.

Hey, I need a shirt that says "Full of Shit" and on the back it would say "Endorsed by EXLAX" "I lie, I cheat, I steal" Still got a NG alignment....see the last statement.

"If ExLax endorses him, maybe he is full of shit after all?"
