Forget James Cameron. Forget the Last Airbender. Here's the Avatar I dig on.

  1. Ah, yes. I remember Wizards. I still have the movie poster of Peace packed away somewhere.

  5. If that doesn't deserve to be an Encounter Critical setting, I don't know what does.

  6. Yeeeeeeeeees.

    Bakshi's Wizards is iconic for me. I think it's the reason I'm into D&D, fantasy, and just about everything else I'm into. It came out two years after I was born, but I've still probably seen it 15 times. And not just because of Ellinore.

  7. How can you fail to love a wizard who smokes cigars with his feet?

    Wizards makes a heck of a great game setting too. There is an incident that I had while DMing that still mortifies me (in a good way, of course) to this day:

    Blackwolf made an illusory appearance to the party and one particular smart-ass refused to be intimidated. He said "Meh, your fly is down" to which I responded quickly "I'm not wearing any pants, elf!". That stopped the game for a few minutes with lots of laughter. :D

  8. "You killed Fritz!" Ironic you should bring this up - the NPC Fritz in my D&D campaign just bought it last week.

    As far as Avatar goes, I like this one better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urNyg1ftMIU

  12. It’s ironic to me how often filmmakers use the latest technology to tell anti-technology stories. ^_^

    Interesting, I didn't see Cameron's film that way at all. The scientists/techies were the heroes.
