Was that a HI knife on Heroes S4E14?

They didn't seem to understand it very well (they had a bunch of B.S. about being usable for trip attacks, due to the "hooked" blade), but there it was.

Ah well... a lot of stereotypical RPG'ers are probably strict "katana-plonkers" anyway. :D
 
Cantina, maybe. Not enough is going on over there, anyway.

I never got to play as much as I'd like: most of my gaming experience comes from a VERY weird game of "Werewolf" I was involved in, during college. I never even got a chance to try my hand at 3rd Ed., despite liking what I saw.

I still have my dice, too.:)
 
These days I wouldn't be able to do the whole "imagine what's happening" thing anymore. For D&D type play, I tend to play certain hack&slash video games, especially the Champions of Norrath and Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance titles for PS2. Man, if they created a software title that made it easy to cobble together such games oneself, and customize levels, worlds, items, characters, et cetera... that'd be fun!
 
Excellent idea. I don't know near enough about computers to pull such a thing off, but I imagine someone, somewhere has done it, even if only for their own personal use.

I'm a D&D nerd as well. The game you're looking for is "Neverwinter Nights" or "Neverwinter Nights 2"... very customizable, lots of free user-made content such as equipment and adventures available, and it supports online play (you can even have 1 person running it as the dungeon master). I used to play it quite a bit.

These days, I'm playing Dungeons & Dragons Online @ ddo.com (which now has a free-to-play option). They do have kukris, but they're pretty gimpy in the game. Khopesh is king.
 
See where you fall.

That's a great diagram Khuku'nut. In the 80's I was working a SciFi/comic shop and was exposed to a wide variety of folk that I know fit into that diagram somewhere.

Thanks for reminding me and for the smile it brought.

Hmm, I actually considered getting Neverwinter Nights for my Mac a couple years ago. Didn't know about the customizable aspect of it.

While I haven't played in YEARS, the distance from, yet past knowledge of the game make for fun geeky humour... like incorporating D&D jargon into speculations about the love lives of folk far nerdier than even myself...

"Hey baby, I'm a level 36 Elvish Druid-Mage, equipped with a staff of Pleasureful Thrusting +5... my familiar is a gargantuan purple wyrm... care to meet him? Spare me a moment to loosen my pantaloons..."

Saving throw versus rejection... -4 penalty due to... well everything... failed!

I should use this as a sig line.

Just this part.
 
I wish there was a movie showing the proper use of a falcatta or kopis. Rob roy did a decent job of showing how to use a rapier. And plenty of samurai flicks on how to use a katana such as the lone wolf and cub series or anything starring toshiro mifune.

The latter example including the excellent Daibosatsu Toge!

Tatsuya Nakadai was great in that! :thumbup:

Some may argue that the chambara genre shows a relatively contrived and stiff style of sword combat, and that some of the more panicked-looking exchanges in films like Seven Samurai are what the bulk of real katana melee would have looked like. Beats me! I like 'em all!
