I see the jest in the post, but I would like to point out that I'm less of a n00b or whatever than you are.

Geeks are ok with me, geeks that try to tell me my business aren't.

Hero System uber alles! That beats GURPS (any day of the week), Rifts, Hackmaster, etc. It can't be beat.

You know, when I was a freshman in college, this dude used to walk around campus dressed in the jedi robes and shit. He tried growing the beard, but it never quite covered his face properly. He even took on an apprentice. They used to "spar" with sticks in a field (I guess cause they couldn't get their hands on any lightsabers). This chick used to go to high school with him and according to her; the poor guy was under the impression that he was a jedi. It was really sad. I mean his life had to be all but ruined.

So as far as I'm concerned, these people are just as bad as any other purveyor of bullshido out there and should be held accountable as such.

Do you know if it was an Official Camarilla game. Those people are kind of scary.

Whatever I know about it was through my friend/roommate. The above statements represent pretty much everything I know.

From what I read of them, I was partial to the Ventrue and the Brujah.

That game was huge in Atlanta by the way.

I think I'd play a hunter. I'm not very goth.

It well know that Lucas based the jedi on the samurai, one movie in particular, the "fortress" I think its called.
The whole sith waering black like the "ninja", the jedi, usinf lightsabers ala katana's.
And of course, the code...
I think Toshiro Mifune would have made a great jedi :)

If you want to get technical about it, the Jedi are a fusion of Samurai and Shaolin Monks; in fact, I would say they resemble Samurai only in their weapon of choice. Like the Shaolin Monks, they are a religious order who sometimes get dragged into political affairs. They all live in the same Temple, and only use their powers only for defence and knowledge.

The Hidden Fortress is pretty close to the final cut of A New Hope, but it is more like The Phantom Menace. But Kurasowa influences are all over Star Wars. The Cantina scene comes from Yojimbo, and there are smatterings of other references to his movies.

Lucas almost had to buy the rights to Hidden Fortress, then he tinkered with the script a bit to make it not such an obvious influence.

Of course, you can't discount John Ford's The Searchers, either. Darth Vader is partially based off of John Wayne's character in that movie. In fact, when Anakin is overlooking the Tusken encampment in Attack of the Clones, it's shot for shot from The Searchers.

I can count at least 8 times I have scored solely because
of VtM.. and one of those was the best time I ever had without
hard drugs and multiple partners!
Oh My Gawth!

What other gamecan you coerce your players into doing
bondage scenes with one another... gotta love tha
World O' Darkness.

Screw d20, I think you just got yourself a convert.
