Friday Links 10/8/2021

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.

  1. Yeah, I go to the IMFDb for gaming interest too.

    That "Seven Samurai" flag is kinda hilarious. Love it.

  2. "...Crazy Earl in Full Metal Jacket is armed with a Red Ryder BB gun."

    But he'll shoot his eye out!

    1. He was taking an enormous risk. He earned his moniker, that Crazy Earl.
