Um...I don't think so. If it's as expansive as you say I would drop everything and just play it. Which would be a bad thing since I have a lot of tests coming up. Also, I have to deal with my bug problem first.

RD mentioned obsessively rolling up characters, I too am addicted to character generation. In fact, I've probably spent more time making characters than playing with them, I always end up being the dm anyways.

sad= once spent a week creating a ninja monkey character, in which time i weeded through multiple possibilities for a plausible ninja monkey, and backed up all my stats with rules from major D&D rule books, only to have the monkey killed in the first scene it appeared in. He didn't even get to do anything, everyone asked me why I described the death of a monkey so passionately, I couldn't answer through the tears.

I too spend hours rolling up characters and writing up character kits. I also make characters for the marvel RPG.

I can hum the theme song of Transformers, He-Man, Thundercats, Dragonball Z, Gundam Seed, Megas XLR, and TMNT with perfect accuracy...and probably more shows, too, but I can only think of those at the moment.

[edit] even sadder...I usually hum them, loudly, at the dinner table and at school. My teachers are beginning to believe I'm insane...heh, took them long enough!:p

I do that too, but I thought all RPGers do.

Dragonsbane · 10-12-2004, 01:32 AM

Yeah...I do that. If I miss a sidequest, and can't go back to complete it, then I start over. It's like some weird compulsion.

You'd be surprised...

Naw, my brother doesn't actually. He just plays through to the storyline. Hardly plays any of the sidequests at all.

If anyone has played Blood Omen 1, Legacy of Kain then you've probably heard Kain's laugh when you've been attacking for awhile. That laugh has slowly incorporated itself as my regular laugh.

Edit: and the essential guide was not reliable. It screwed up and had the schematics for the Victory Star Destroyer where the Imperial Star Destroyer should have been, and listed the Executer as 8000 meters long, whereas the true length is 12 500 meters.

Actually, the Executor-class command ship (sometimes referred to by the nickname "Super Star Destroyer") is 17.6km long, based on scaling from the films and notes from the original model-makers. More information here. Unfortunately, the people in charge of a lot of the spin-off material didn't do their research properly, and based their length on a piece of promotional material that was released while the second movie was still in production, stating that the Executor was five times the size of a regular ISD, when it was eleven times the size in the actual films. That meant that many sources listed the Executor as 8km long, but over time more and more people became aware of the error so, as a compromise, Lucasfilm averaged the two figures for their listing on the official website, which is where the 12.8km length comes from. It's just as wrong as the old 8km figure, though.
