Ha! A desert island with a HD TV and a blue-ray player. "Empire" is the dark grit my personal fav. Personal pondering: SW RPG 2e and 2e revised gave rules for using miniatures in two scales.1st the standard WotC mini's 28mm scale and 2ndly an action figure scale like Kenner or Hasbro figs. Did SW RPG 3e do the same? Nice call with the Pen and Paper.

@blackbarnz WotC's Saga Edition used the 28mm grid scale, as I recall. Star Wars D6 (my personal fave) didn't actually advocate specific use of minis, though one of the later supplements introduced rules for conducting mass-battles using a table top miniature rule set. I've never owned that book as we never really played Star Wars (or any RPG until D&D 3.0) with minis. To this day, I prefer not to use them or, at best, use them in a very abstract sense.

@masterofflowers I think I would go with a cavalry saber. The ones army officers used to have in like 1700's. It wouldn't be too heavy while at the same time being excellent for slashing. Like cutting someones head off.

@hammeredshitsteak Hand and a half (Bastard sword) Gives me reach while keeping speed and I can use it two hands since I have a gimpy right arm so it would be easier.

@Webhead123 lol so true!

[Samwise7RPG]

@Webhead123 Thanks for the suggestions.

[hammeredshitsteak]

@Webhead123 Yeah, I've refused to even watch those. I've seen couple of reviews about them and I don't have the heart to sit through them. Well atleast not sober. One thing that almost makes me feel compelled to whip myself is that the director of Highlander: Endgame is named Douglas Aarniokoski. That's a Finnish lastname... He has brought such shame upon my people.

Well I don't even know who he is. I just saw his lastname and my brain went *click* :P

@hammeredshitsteak And the saddest part is...the series only got worse from there! As gut-wrenchingly awful as Highlander 2 was, the later films somehow continued on a downward spiral. Highlander: The Source is one of the worst, most unsympathetically series-betraying films I've seen in a long time.

[hammeredshitsteak]

@Webhead123 Indeed good sir, indeed. It's so sad if I tell someone how much I love it, and they tell me that they started watching it and couldn't stand it at all. And later I find out they were watching the second one D:

I love Michael Ironside, but as General Katana (LOL) he hit a low point. Doesen't help that it was written, directed and starred by the same people as the first one. So no one really ruined their dream franchise, they ruined themselves.

[Webhead123]

@hammeredshitsteak Oh, Highlander. What woes have befallen thee! I love the original film. There really should have been only one!

@Samwise7RPG For your first few Lovecraft stories, I recommend checking out the following:

The Call of Cthulhu (obviously)

The Shadow Over Innsmouth

The Rats in the Walls

The Temple

Those are some of my favorites of his work.
