Field Theory: The Force will be with…, in reply to Danielle,
I distinctly remember a double feature I went to showing Star Wars, followed by Jaws. Pretty big night for a 10 year old.

Agreed.
Or, of course, the voters of NZ could do something about it. That's the sad bit about the howling down of environmental criticism here - it's got a lot of support.

I made an 'against the trend' comment on this at the time saying something along the lines of "what else could he have done"?
He could and should have said he would do something about it (and also, more importantly, he should do something about it). He may be Teflon in NZ, but the rest of the world can and will lampoon him mercilessly for such a stupid comment.

nestingSo that's free range chicken, which is also free?

I also had conservative parents who didn't like television or science fiction.
Wow, that's mean.

Field Theory: The Force will be with…, in reply to Amy Gale,
Heh, good stuff. Not quite as fresh as DM of the Rings, but still amusing. Excellent explanation as plot device, to have a lot of the plot of the film made up on the fly by a little girl who no one want to cry, including the entirety of the Jar Jar character. I'm only about 30 pages in, but I'm channelling that this party is not the 30-something-exclusively-male-computer-nerds+some-50-year-old-gamer who are playing the LOTR campaign, but teens, and the baby sister forced into the game by tired parents rings so many bells for me.
Incidentally, my sister played out the best role-play I'd ever, ever had in all my years as a DM (well OK, there were about 3 of those, then I discovered sport and was saved). She was the only person who ever intentionally chose to play a female halfling cleric. She studiously avoided combat grinds, needed no railroading to the plotline, but instead followed it like she thought it was actually cool, went in for lengthy roleplay conversations with NPCs. Absolute dream player, except for the fact that she was my little sister.

Dresden, how it would rather remember itself. Presumably this work would have been recreated from photos, I doubt it could have survived the firestorm.

Snap #3 of the St Mary's Bay cottage by the time Dad was finished with it. Artist's impression, pen and wash. Which is now washed out, leaving the curious highlighting effect that appears to have excellent long life, the twink she used to tidy up edges. Cheaty cheaty.

1. Zane, looking for fish
2. Me, trying to snap the fish, but the camera having a whole 'nother idea.
3. Fish finds Zane.

Hard News: Triangulated by Fools, in reply to Joe Wylie,
Well before that. He's not even in the barrel. Over it, at best. He may have only just reached the point where he's considering the safe words.
