Gorth Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 In my gaming group we had a superhero (relatively speaking) based off Mystery Men. There was the Unraveller who can unravel anything with his mind, the Swedish Iron Chef who did use knifes and lemon juice, the Sock who was a spirit of psychologist trapped in a sock puppet who possed anyone who puts him on, and my character the Charger who can absorb and redirect Alternate Electrical Current. It was a wierd campaign with foes like the Toast Riders, a motorcycle gang that used flaming bread porducts as weapons, and Ice Ice Babies who were high school cheerleaders that could telekinetically control ice cream. Ahem... :ph34r: “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Judge Hades Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Hey, the main baddie in the campaign was Stevie Nicks who was using her music to suck the lifeforce from her fans to become a goddess.

astr0creep Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Off the top of my head, in no particular order : - E.T.(because Jesus in an alien) - LotR : The Fellowship of the Ring(saw it 15 times... in theaters) - The Empire Strikes Back(first one not directed by GL and best SW movie) - Raiders of the Lost Ark(Best.

LadyCrimson Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Can someone tell me what the appeal/mythos is about the Fight Club? I've watched that and I don't understand at all. “Things are as they are.

Tel Aviv Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Personal preference and all that. It isn't the twist that makes it so appealing though, at least not as far as I'm concerned. I just find it a deceptively funny film, a real black comedy. And it features a damn fine soundtrack by The Dust Brothers.
