Links & thoughts for Friday.
- No, I'm not done with my project yet, I'm still writing. The wordcount in no way justifies the amount of time it is taking.
- I'm a sucker for a pretty tabletop battle. Here are two:
SPARTACUS AND THE SLAVE REVOLT
THE BATTLE FOR JAPAN SAMURAI VS SAMURAI
I love the look of 16th century Japanese armoured gunners. If I'd known - or had information on - the Hojutsu team in Matsumoto Castle - I'd love to have included that in GURPS Martial Arts. We did okay for doing research 17-18 years ago.
- When I re-watch movies I've seen a bunch of times, I often look up cast and crew details while I watch along. The Internet Movie Firearms Database is a gold mine, especially since I can't help but watch movies and think of how they'd translate into games. It's also a good way to find out that Crazy Earl in Full Metal Jacket is armed with a Red Ryder BB gun.
Yeah, I go to the IMFDb for gaming interest too.
ReplyDeleteThat "Seven Samurai" flag is kinda hilarious. Love it.
"...Crazy Earl in Full Metal Jacket is armed with a Red Ryder BB gun."
ReplyDeleteBut he'll shoot his eye out!
He was taking an enormous risk. He earned his moniker, that Crazy Earl.
