I haven't posted here for quite some time, but this calls for some words.

Here's to Jimmy Doohan, a man of many voices, a man who was kind and generous with his fans, a man who, even when stricken...

Many happy returns, Captain!

Hey, remember that Anne Rice wanted Rutger Hauer for Lestat... Of course she had forgotten that he had aged a bit...

O, the Humanity!

Wasn't the first movie punishment enough?

No, wait, that was Battlefield Earth...

Caitian, do whatever it takes to stay Bouncy.

Get healthy, take care of yourself, and we will do our best to pick up the slack on this end.

And if there is anything we can do, just let us know...

Hmmm, let's see...

Ursa Maior and Ursa Minor both rate, just because they were the first ones I learned to identify.

Orion always has a "hopeful" feel to me, although why is hard to define.

#1 -- get a more solid job

#2 -- find my friend a new girlfriend

#3 -- Finally get beyond the book-a-week level... ;)

Hey, I have a LOT of volumes to catch up with! :D

These are always rough times.

May peace be upon you and yours. It will take time to come to grips with this loss -- allow yourself your grief.

Honours are due to the passing of the honourable....

Personally I just like that fact that Brad Pitt was seen hobbling about on crutches near the end of shooting.

Reason?

He pulled is...

(WAIT FOR IT!)

... Achilles Tendon!

A "The WHO" leather cd holder, a freebie from the last concert go-round for those with backstage passes.

That was it.

Most of my friends have had very, very limited resources this year, so we...

Whatever brightens your days, may it come to you in abundance!

Peace, folks! :)

Oh, and avoid that flu -- it's nasty (he says from current experience...)

Generally I find it is the setting, not the system, that gets between players and a game (with a few notable exceptions).

I myself do not like the GURPS system, but I had an enjoyable game of it...

I think part of the problem is the fact that there is a relatively small group of people even visiting these boards. Most of us "know" each other (not physically, possibly, but certainly by handle)...

I, also, am in the "Books and Movies are Different" category -- if I wasn't there was no way I could have liked Master & Commander, given how little it was like any of the books ;)

My feeling...

And Flay.

Don't forget Flay.

Okay, okay, not as many people saw Gormenghast...

I am the brain in the jar! ;)

Haven't seen the new one, so really can't rate that one.

Personally I am running and hiding from this collection; rates about even with BSG, in my books.

But I am happy the rest of you will be enjoying it :)

Now I'll just go back to The Adventures...

Since the core system of CODA is nearly the same as D20, it would be just as easy (and difficult) to 'port the system over to another setting.

No interest.

Don't like the show, don't like the direction it has taken, and the couple of gamers that I can even get interested in Trek anymore all want to do something like DS9 (or late movie...

Personally I always found the original BSG to be ... silly.

I mean, there is the Top Cartwright in outer space being chased by a bunch of aliens who think "Pong" is a great targetting program... ...

I am worth £16733, 56% purer than me...

Hmm, guess there is such a thing as Middle Ground ;)

Well, the answer to the first is "Probably, depends on sales, but likely".

The answer to the second is "I'll never figure it out", especially as the character from the books he is supposed to...
