Have a brew, and kick Will Smith in the pants for me!
Stone and Sea are deep in life,
two unalterable symbols of the world;
permanence at rest, and permanence in motion;
participants in the Power that remains.
Welcome back, Davin. (and what's so great about Splashdown?)
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Really? The US president leading a fighter squadron into battle against the alien mothership wasn't just a teensy bit too much for you...

It's nice to find a whole forum dedicated to SRD - thanks a lot, guys.
As for my user name...it's been a long time since I read the Chronicles, but I've just re-read the Mordant books, so forgive me for not being more innovative.
Wilkommen, Torrent. Seien Sie willkommen und wahr! (hug)

Weeeell...I CAN be quite shy if I don't know people. But I didn't choose the name because it was the character I most identified with.
I like the sound of the name (more than Myste or Elega).

No, I really liked that movie.
Welcome Torrent! You should really enjoy the Mordant's Need forum. Have fun!
Well, except for RPGs, I've pretty much given up on buying games, but I'll definately rent it. Can't wait to check it out.
Reminds me of this time I was working at Circuit City. I used to use the movie Titan A.E. to demo home theatre systems. One time, I'm showing a Bose system to this guy, and he says, "I did a lot of the animation for this movie." I was quite surprised.
