  In Anime trailers
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 12-31-2002, 09:44 PM - Forum: Bob's Game Writing - Replies (14)

As promised in another thread, the anime-In Nomine "movie trailers" from the SJGames website (for those who didn't bother to find them on their own):
The Dominican Tank Police
Lovely Angels of the Wind
And here's the original citation from that other thread, just for completeness' sake:
Redneck's Tenchi Muyo! -- In Nomine

  I've Got To Use This Somewhere
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 12-31-2002, 04:37 PM - Forum: General DW Chatter - Replies (8)

I've been to Canada twice in the last ten years, I've got relatives there, and I never knew until today... that the Canadian one-dollar coin is called "the loonie". (See this page on the Snopes urban legend site for some interesting info on the loonie.) Even more interesting is that the loonie was introduced at about the same time Looney joined the Warriors... there's got to be a cosmic signficance there somewhere.

  Borribles
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 12-31-2002, 04:28 PM - Forum: Future Steps - Replies (2)

For those of you who were following the minidiscussion of a possible Step set in the world of Michael de Larrabeiti's Borribles books (see "Self-Cross?" over in Future Steps), I've come up with a plot, which I'm going to be polishing a little and then sending to my prereaders. But I just need to crow a little about it. Imagine...
The SBG on the march. Corrupt officials who want their dirty laundry kept hidden. The heroes of the Great Rumble Hunt reunited once more. A UN resolution. Amnesty International. The Wendle tunnels under seige. A desperate race against both time and and a team of assassins.
I've probably said too much, but damn. If this weren't a fanfic, it would make a great summer blockbuster movie...

-ReBoot!
(If the gate could drop Doug in Mainframe instead of whatever totally whacked "real" world the Users inhabit...)
-Bionicle
(A tropical island inhabited by Lego-based life forms?!)
-Darkwing Duck
("Oh great, another hairless ape with superpowers...")
-South Park
("Singing superheroes is where I draw the line.")
-Callahan's Place
(If Doug is in need of a drink and some light therapy...)
-Devilman
(because that one ended on a hideously depressing note, and desperately needs a good tweaking)
Mobile Fighter G-Gundam
(because it's just so deliberately silly... and Doug would have to wind up with his own themed Gundam [Image: smile.gif] )

  Find Weakness
Posted by: Evil Midnight Lurker - 12-27-2002, 11:10 PM - Forum: The Game Everyone Loves To Play - Replies (1)

"Kryptonite" by Three Doors Down.
Doug concentrates on a target enemy and the song materializes an appropriate quantity of said enemy's One Weakness, if any--green K, gold dust, several live cats, whatever.
Alternately it just gives Doug a quick mental list of the target's Susceptibilities, Vulnerabilities, and any appropriate Psych or Phys Lims. (Gee, I wonder what game E.M. plays? [Image: smile.gif] )
Now, since Superman never took off in Warriors' World, Doug would have to pick this up in another universe...
...unless the WW 3 Doors wrote a version entitled "Thundranium". [Image: tongue.gif]

  I don't understand this, Take 2

Okay, according to the info I can see on the page, this morning we have 37 registered members, where at the beginning of the week we had 35.
But the list of registered members hasn't changed.
I'm so confused!

  Step suggestion
Posted by: jonathanlennox - 12-27-2002, 10:52 AM - Forum: Future Steps - Replies (3)

Here's another suggestion for a potential Walk step that could be interesting.
Terri Windling's Borderlands shared world novels and short stories seems a natural for Doug. Its slogan is, after all, "Where magic meets rock and roll".
Additionally, it's a rich world, with plenty of "room" to insert a new story; and it's not being actively developed any more, as far as I know.

  Emotional Scenes and Doug
Posted by: Murmur the Fallen - 12-26-2002, 10:51 PM - Forum: Drunkard's Walk III: Sana-chan No Omocha - Replies (4)

You know, one wonders what Doug's role is in Kodocha beyond the tough-guy bodyguard gig. I mean, it's not like Doug would be dispensing life-affirming advice or even Lucy-esque schemes or what have you, since that's Sana-chan's job (and a good job she does, too). And it's not like he's going to introduce them to the world o' magic. Or is he?

  Kipling!
Posted by: ECSNorway - 12-26-2002, 09:52 PM - Forum: The Game Everyone Loves To Play - Replies (1)

Once Upon A Time, Leslie Fish did a very nice album of Kipling's poems, set to appropriate music.
Well, very nice aside from Ms Fish's voice, that is.
However, they could certainly be useful.

The extended playtest ended on the 20th; my new absolute final deadline is January 31st.
Pray for me -- because of changes to Morph and Shapeshifting, I'm going to have to rewrite frickin' huuuuge parts of the book.
