Just re-watched this tonight, I must concur. Beautifully shot and expertly timed. Definitely a film that only gets better on repeated viewings. Unnerving.

Damn good film. I'll be rewatching it soon enough, I'm sure.

This might seem like a strange narrative distinction to adopt, but I feel compelled to explain why I write this way for Ingmann -

Whenever I refer to 'doctor', if it's in non-dialogue prose I use the conventional 'doctor'. If I write from dialogue, or I refer to any Doctor X from Ippsburg, I use 'doktor'. Might seem a pointless distinction but I actually fussed over this for a few minutes at one point.

So, once again I get porn when I want only pirated stuff. Searching my favorite torrent site for Sauna, I got a bunch of pretty vanilla sauna stuff WAY before the movie of that title.

(I just assume it was vanilla from the filenames. I didn't download it all to check. Really.)

^^Just beware of bad subtitles, or be prepared to find an english .srt file, as many of the torrents I found are subbed in Scandinavian languages. NEIN!!! Ich spreche nicht Svenska!!!

Stone Magnet and myself just concluded his search for his writing kit over msn. I can honestly say that I have never seen the dice paint so epic a picture, and i do think that they did a far better job creating the climatic and dramatic scene than we could've come up with ourselves. I cannot wait for Stone to post this, and really look forward to the read. We are talking some epic failures and successes dice wise.

I haven't had this much fun in a roleplay since montresor and I had a similar climatic event where my character fought a beastman in mes. Some truly great stuff.

My initial thought was that I had chosen a very good night to go out for a walk about town, then realised that there's a good chance that all of Ingmann's notes and his anatomical tools will be in that inferno...

Shit. Looks like the campaign has taken a decidedly unexpected twist.

MY first thought was "It's good to be an outdoorsman." Followed quickly by "Hey, my bow's in there." Good thing it's not masterwork or anything.

you could always give up all your faith points to have Raphaelus awake and run back into the fire to save more knowledge in a mad smoke induced delirium :P

EDIT also, could people please PM me a list of belongs left behind. Ill do some rolls to see if they were salvaged.

If stone magnet doesnt mind too much, I will hold off from his awakening till the morning, so after the others have finished their little foray into the whorehouse/opium den. If it drags on too long i can push Raphaelus's encounter forward a bit.

Also, id like to aid Lore in creation of the rake by then too.

I have a horrible case of man flu so i apologise for any sub standard posts i make over the coming days.

Why does that seem to me like a disease that birds catch when sick humans have relationions with them?

('sick' in both the contagious diseased way, and in the pervy 'he just had relationions with a bird' way.)

No worries. I was off the 'Net for a few days, and it looks like Dorian's buggery got the better of him anyway.

Then in that case wouldn't your mum be the sick one and not me? :P

Man Flu is simply put the greatest affliction known to man. Most scientists will say its the common cold, but what do they know eh?

Either way, new research suggests that estrogen helps combat the cold, so its no wonder men get shafted when they get sick more than woman
