I know. There are holes in my basic horror knowledge. I knew the Cenobites were not really in it that much, but I had no idea the plot was about a murderous undead asshole and his icy mistress stealing organs from traveling businessmen.
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.
That, and the Exorcist f-cked me up for life.

ReplyDeleteYeah, it's not until the second that the "Cosmology" is explored in depth. The first is classic Barker in that it's still a Human drama.
ReplyDeleteThe Comics are insane.
