One quick swing, two glorious deletions from the gene pool. Now that I can get behind.

pop vampires is also a sub-genre that hasn't tickled anyone's fancy.


That's because we're all over 12 here, or at least we all claim to be. weg

I think that the problem with supers games is that they tend not to be character driven. Comics books are mostly about fighting not about having conversations.

Back in the day when I ran champions FTF I always had conflicts between the players who wanted to role-play and interact with both NPCs and villains and the ones who just wanted to throw twenty or thirty six-sideds.

I still remember the giant RL argument we had when one player objected to another player carrying a 'normal' though an intact brick wall and defending himself by saying his PC knew it wouldn't kill her, that she'd just be stunned. <that was role-playing vs gaming mentality at its most dramatic>

Even when I was under 12 those would not have appealed. I was always a fan of Christopher Lee.

Well you guys aren't exactly young girls wink

Both my daughters (17 and 29 at the time) absolutely loved them. Read all the books over and over and over again.

Niv, your daughters need therapy.

That's why we have all kinds of things out there. Clearly a lot of people loved the series. Some people hate Harry Potter, some love it. <shrug>

Who remembers Dark Shadows? I heard they're making a movie.

They are courtesy of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp is Barnabas. We even have some stills already.

JONATHAN FRID!!!

DARK SHADOWS!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Oooh, and now Johnny Depp. A few weeks ago, I was talking to my fellow Dark Shadows geek and grade school best friend about meeting in Cleveland to see it together. That would have been TOO cool! But we've settled on going to see the movie in our respective towns at approximately the same time on the same day. And Jonathan Frid has a bit part in the new movie.

Oh, and that's sad about Frid. But dying on Friday the 13th? He planned that. Ok, maybe not. But *I* would have.

I remember Dark Shadows as a kid, but the movie looks most definitely like a comedy. I don't remember it being a comedy back then.

No, it was definitely not a comedy. I believe the movie is more of a parody... a loving tribute, yes... but still a parody.

It is definitely more like the Munsters from the trailers. I am not sure I will see it in the theater because it isn't what Dark Shadows was. I am sure it will be funny, but not what I wanted. Oh well that is why I have Netflix.

Hey Kel, Cheeky and I had a nice talk with James Marsters at Mid-Ohio Con last fall. Really nice guy. Actually had time to talk with his fans instead of just signing and onto the next person. Oh, and Cheeky pretty much feels the same way you do about him.

He had a nice story about when he was guest starring on Torchwood. His girlfriend at the time was directing the episode and in that episode, he had a scene where he shared a passionate kiss with John Barrowman. He was a bit worried about it at the time and the moment of the kiss comes up and they knock it out of the park, very sexy kiss between the two men, and he goes up to his girlfriend after she yells cut and he asks, well, how was it?

She looks at him and says "Hot... do it again."

lol I have GOT to watch this Torchwood thing... especially that episode. No, especially all of it, since Kahallan's character pic on the Clarke is Captain Jack. Dang, all the PC (and even some of the NPC) guys on the Clarke (well, the humans anyway) are HAWT... even Moira's big brother.

Torchwood is a great series to watch Kel. You can watch it on Netflix streaming if you have it.

Of course I do. The problem is scheduling the time to watch it. smile

The first two seasons are great... The last two seasons have been essentially mini series that told one story, and were a little uneven. One thing I've got to say for it, they are NOT afraid to kill off main characters. Great stuff!

Ah, this reminds me of where I originally posted that Blade/Twilight joke.

http://www.leanerminds.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=20&p=145#p145

Huh, the Varla/Luke Cage hybrid I came up with was a great idea for an LXG: Post-Nuclear character! I'll have to revisit that setting some day. wink

Meanwhile, Fantasy genre always gets votes, there's always a demand, and usually we gloss over it because there are more unconventional message game genres to discuss. But so far in this survey, Fantasy is polling as the clear favourite.

What Fantasy do you have an appetite for? Do you have a particular game/campaign setting in mind?
