Watching Dragonslayer. Tyrian here is a perfect Lawful-Evil character. He's totally ruthless and a dick, but his first loyalty is to the kingdom. When the king wants to bend the rules, Tyrian refuses him.
And the king is Neutral, trying to protect the status quo with the lottery. The princess is Lawful-Good, sacrificing herself when she finds out she hasn't been in the lottery. Galen is Chaotic Good, not ever thinking about the consequences of his actions, but trying to do the right thing.
Wil McKinnee there are so many great things about it. One of my favorites is everyone converting to Christianity then letting God take the credit for killing the dragon instead of Galen and Ulric and Valerian.
Craig Brasco this movie pioneered a stop motion effect that blurred the frames of the Dragon so that it appeared to have a much smoother motion. It still looks wonderful years later.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
I thought that this was a great movie.
