If I only had a brain...

Yes, but the question is what happens when Shrift puts it into Buffdive.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Ahhh! I getcha. Well, at least it's been COMMed for posterity.

I'm beginning to understand this now. It's all about the journey, isn't it?

I've seen photo manips done by 13 year olds that were more convincing than that.

Has it been mentioned here yet that the second volume of Tales from the Slayer is now available in bookstores? This is the collection of short stories, not the graphic novel. I haven't had a chance to read any of it yet, but when Jane Espenson and Rebecca Rand Kirshner both have stories in this volume, so it might be worth reading.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It can be seen here.

Oh. My. Fucking. Word.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

Oh. My. Fucking. Word.

Also Fucking Wrod, and other wronger things, such as owrd and wrdo.

It's what my grandmother always used to call 'a sight for sore eyes', meaning the opposite.

I love that my irony is genetic.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Yay! A plug for Powers. That comic rules. As do the first 10 or so issues of Gloomcookie (naturally). Once the original artist (Ted Naifeh) left, it went downhill.

Hey, I think it's only been like 6 months since last I posted here on the Phoenix. But It Lives!

Anyone here have/play/have an opinion about the BtVS role-playing game? I got it for Christmas and would like to give it a shot. Would this be the appropriate forum to discuss it?

You're in the right place, Raquel. I'm not sure anyone else round here has it yet, but I'd certainly like to hear your take on it.

Love to hear your opinions. I know the designers, so I can make sure to mock them for you if there are any problems...

Initial opinions: great "curb appeal." I got so engrossed in reading all the quotes from the show that I didn't bother to actually read the rules the first time through the book. Also, insanely flexible: I've already got a ton of ideas for games set in earlier times/different places with previous Slayers.

Also a plus: I bothered to read the rules and learn them. It's been a long time since I had the patience to sit down and learn a new game system. (Computers have made me lazy).

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, of course, so I'm going to have to round up some players and give it a shot...part of the game is that players get points for snappy dialogue, and I'm interested to see how that works.
