I picked up the first couple trades based solely on memories of Rocket from my childhood. I'm not sure he's surly, but he's more roguish and not the kinda Flash Gordon character he was on Half World.
I was never up to speed on Marvel's space characters really. Except Quasar and Nova for a little bit.
I honestly never heard of Star Lord before, but he's apparently been around since the 70's.
Drax in the 90's was basically flying invulnerable space idiot. Like a Hulk that never changes. Gamora was basically "Mrs. Adam Warlock" who sometimes kicked someone. I remember she was supposedly the deadliest woman in the galaxy, but I don't remember a single thing she did.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
Pre-gen from Frank Mentzer's module, The Needle , 1987. I knew this was insulting and gross when I was 14. At the time I didn't know who Frank was, since I only played AD&D. I found this module again when I was going through a box of old stuff and was surprised he wrote it, because I thought it was a pretty shitty adventure.
he's got to be your fav Marvel character. gonna steal the show in the Guardians movie.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a Rocket Raccoon moment that's for sure. I'm guessing he'll be very popular with the movie crowd.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big Rocket fan from way back, but I'm not super familiar with his renaissance. He seems very surly in the new trailer. Why so surly, Rocket?
ReplyDeleteI'm also not familiar with Star-Lord at all, and the last time I saw Gamora or Drax was back in the "Infinity watch" days.
So I'm really not sure where the characters are at, in their currentish books.
