    Stating that she "could have been equally powerful if she tried" doesn't necessarily mean she is a wizard though, yes she has the potential, but we have no evidence that she is a wizard. Adrian could have told her that he could help her awaken and she could have passed on it for all we know.

    Considering that being a wizard is something you are born with, and not something you train for. 

    Having the same potential pretty much means she is a wizard.

    I want to write something about Noriko back then but it would emerge purely in the form of obscenities and pejoratives. So I am withholding my opinion for now, hoping that new information will emerge that will make me despise her less.

    She was literally torturing her infant child because he did not turn out like she had hoped, left the continent and likely never came back causing said son to have abandonment issues so bad that 2 of his friends breaking up triggered them. Heck, given Mrs. Kitsune's hatred for her I half think the "to expensive to visit" line is Edward covering up the truth, as there is no way that is true unless she is living in poverty. 

    This would be akin to a mother abandoning her kid because he had brown hair instead of blond. 

    Noriko deserved allot of abuse, and that she still has not tried to mend the gap after at least 15 years, probably 17+, means it is not just the Noriko of back then.

    Two things catch my attention here.

    "They were his" means multiple kids, but also uses the past tense.

    And exactly why do Immortals consistently choose to lie to future selves about this matter?

    My first thought is that he might have had a wife and broke up with her accusing her of cheating when she got pregnant with "someone else's" children causing him allot of heartbreak. 

    with Susan and Diane descended by those kids (it would take at least 2 generations for Adrian's black hair to be replaced with blond) possibly sharing a father. 

    EDIt : Though with regards to immortals lying to themselves if that lie is Elven sterility then it only makes sense if to prevent the birth of elves in some way, or if all elves are male. as it would only take 1 girl elf getting pregnant to shatter the lie.

    Sarah was introduced in the first week of the comic, along with the "Get Sarah To Wear A Bikini Fund".  And today she's behind Grace and only tied with Ellen?

     

    I am more concerned with the low number of Demonic Duck appearances. 

    Though how do the numbers stack up if (canon) NP appearances are factored in?

    I don't care if the rule book only uses the d6 and no one asked for anything else, you MUST have that Sanskrit d47 for your next game.

    There is always THIS for wacky dice ;)

    Especially that d30 I used to have.

    I have a green one. I might have had a clear one 20 years ago.

    Actually the movie, which is 50 years old now, was pulled from theaters after only a few weeks. Conspiracy? Well, J. Edgar Hoover didn't like it...

    But besides being screamingly funny, it's also scarily topical. Have you noticed that having every phone tapped all the time is what's happening now? Basically, we're living in J. Edgar's dream.

    As long as they do not start forcing cross-dressing... ;)

    Do some of these descriptions of what comes up in the spell books sound like something a twelve year old might write if the kid was given a one hundred year old medical encyclopædia and told to describe the spell effects?

    This makes me think, despite the appearance of the emissary in Grace's dreams, Magic actually has the mind of a child.

    To me it seems more like it is writing so there is only 1 valid interpretation, but going into excruciating detail, and using words with more specific meanings. 

    Sort of like a pretentions snob writing in such a way that when something does not work the way the user thinks it did, they can point to how that was not a valid interpretation of the text. Using simpler text could easily lead to multiple valid interpretations, causing people to use spells in the wrong way and create unwanted side effects.

    The way I look at it, we need to think about what roles each character plays in story. 

    We need someone who is enthusiastic about the games effects, and Ashley would fit that 

    I think we also need someone who it hesitant/reluctant about the effects as a counterpoint for this, Liz would be a good choice as she is depressing enough, and fits in as Ashley's friend. 

    For gender balance (not that it will last) the other 2 should be guys. But I think we should want someone to mess with the game (it can not just have its way) so one of Grace's brothers, Will, or possibly Noah (if he really is part alien) 

    For the last I am torn between Tony, or Bad Tom to get some comeuppance, or Good Tom because he needs more screen time ;)

    Anyone up for a contest for a crazier mastermind? Right now I'd nominate Desty Nova of Battle Angel Alita, the Joker, Dr. Emilio Lizardo of Buckaroo Banzai, and any president of North Korea.

     

    Kind of feels like someone should just link to a TVtropes page for a list of nominees

    I vote Big Cheese from Samurai Pizza Cats.

    I always thought Jerry was the real mastermind there... I need to re-watch the show.

    So uh, who does that shadowy hand belong to? Pandora's possibly still talking to Heka in Egypt, or maybe not, if travel instant for such a distance?

    The time at the top probably means that a few hours have passed, and Pandora could easily be back in town. 

    We can not be certain due to immortal shape shifting, but the nails make the hand look female to me, and Pandora is more likely to get involved with Susan then Helena.

    To be honest, I haven't really seen the prequels enough to have a strong opinion on them.  I'd kinda like to try the Machete Order and see if that really does salvage them, I just haven't had the time.

    I think allot of people make the mistake of treating episodes 2 and 3 as individual movies, and not 1 continuous story.  Same with the matrix sequels. 

    Though I will admit to finding the clone wars cartoon more satisfying then the prequels, though I do tend to skip Jar-Jar episodes on my DVDs.
