It was one of those movies that makes me shake my fist at the LotR and Harry Potter films, which made every filmmaker think they, too, are entitled to 2+ hours. Unlike those excellent films, this one was waaaay too long. ;)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1740','Martin Ralya'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> PS: Pineapple Express: I hated it, Alysia kinda liked it.

What I've learned from this is that reading gaming-related discussions will always lead to some good, no matter how unrelated they are to anything you're doing currently.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1723','Swordgleam'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> On the plus side, the discussion thread mentioned Troll & Toad, which I hadn’t heard of, and it turns out they had four books I wanted for $5 apiece.

I'm not nearly dialed into RPGnet enough to follow it all, but the Open D6 idea does seem like one potentially very positive outcome from an all around messy situation. At the moment, the <a href="https://www.fundable.com/groupactions/groupaction.2008-08-03.5769928250" rel="nofollow">Fundable collection for this project has been closed</a>, though. Yeah. Messy, and weird. @GDG: Oh, no, if I start on the "buying gnome stuff for around the house" route, it'll never stop. I'll be 60, Gnome Stew will be a distant memory from the times before we all had cortical implants for surfing the net and I'll be surrounded by gnome stuff. Gotta nip that in the bud.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1722','Martin Ralya'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Re: Open D6: Man, the whole WEG meltdown thing is just weird.

I know that Spirit of the Century has gotten a boost from people writing it supplements via their OGL-- a solid public domain system like d6 might make an interesting alternative to the GSL. I'm interested in seeing what comes of it. Thanks for sharing the link Cole!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1718','Scott Martin'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> The West End Games community sounds like a great collaborative project.

Eric Gibson publisher for West End Games is testing the waters by trying to create a community driven foundation for the D6 core mechanics. He would transfer to it all the IP rights related to the D6 product line and have the community dictate the future development of the system. You can read more about at the original thread below: http://www.westendgames.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4760 Thanks, ~cole<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1717','Cole'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Hey there Martin,
