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.
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.
I thought that this was a great movie.
