NTW is, from my googling, one of those third string mutant background characters seen in some of the x-books, though I think in the comics her powers are sort of generically psychic, rather than amusingly (and appropriate to her name) explosive.
I heard the writers were looking through a list of available characters, saw the name, and without knowing anything about the character put her in the movie.
Colossus's giant boy scout routine was great. Pointing out Angel Dust's wardrobe malfunction and getting sucker punched for it was one of the best scenes in the movie.
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 pretty much had Pool's reaction when I heard about the character.
ReplyDeleteI just figured she was Boom-Boom with a less shitty name.
ReplyDeleteI thought she was Cannonball from the preview.
ReplyDeleteShe was from Grant Morrison's New X-Men run.

ReplyDeleteI totally would have done that
"What's it going to be, mean comment or sullen silence?"
ReplyDelete"...ok, you got me in a box here."
She was great, as was Colossus.

ReplyDeleteHope to see more of her in the future. Loved the movie.
ReplyDeleteSo many awesome moments in that movie.
