I definitely recommend seeing it on the big screen... it'll be just as funny on the small screen, but you'll feel regret for not seeing some that awesome cinematography as it was meant to be seen...

I'm glad Thor will be funny, I wasn't a big fan of the first two movies. But willing to give this a shot.

The latest chronicle of my D&D campaign.   

I'm finding that as I get older, more roleplaying and storytelling is where it is at.

I can identify. After a while, perpetual combat sims lose flavor, not without consequences and rewards. And, more and more, there's usually a better solution than going straight to combat.

It's also more interesting when you've got motivation beyond "kill this guy and take his stuff."

I've always had fun with it. You can have mutant critters (5 foot high wolverines anyone? :)), mutant people "zombies", you can have a bit of 'road warrior-esque' encounters, or my favorite is that in 150 years society would be trying to put itself back together and so you could have all sorts of different little kingdoms, countries, etc at any sort of tech level you want. One morning my crew woke up to a 6 pound roundshot glancing off of the hull. They had laagered in a small wooded copse the night before and two rival armies had occupied the area that night and started a battle at dawn, and they found themselves smack in the middle of no-man's land.  :)

Yep. Awesome game. Some liek it frim and griutty..while others like to encounter the highly radioactive blue undead.

I messed with some morrow project vets once, did a conspiritorial campaign, where they woke up, in a different bunkker, with unfamiliar technology, equippned with a bolt hole detector, Morrow Project ID creator/faker (a completely against all project ideas of security devices) and weapons designed to take out Morrow Projectr armor and vehicles..with instructions that the project had been infiltrated by minions of a former project members named Krell, and they were supposed to hunt down the traitors and eliminate them. Sadly..the instructions on how to identify the Krell infiltrators never got to them.

Tossed in the complication of them finding something they had never heard of..a facility those housed hundreds of project member family members. Or were they........

I have a question for our esteemed author!  >:D

Sorry, not anything weird like you have in your list of odd encounters.

Q: Are there any characters that you like enough to keep coming back to, and would, if given the opportunity, write an ongoing anthology about their adventures?

There are quite a few I'd like to write about.  I'm not a big fan of anthologies however.
