Jayne Mansfield's Car: 8.5/10 Great performances from some veteran actors (Robert Duvall, Billy Bob Thornton, Kevin Bacon, John Hurt) made the movie for me. Interesting story about 2 different families (1 Southern American, 1 English) coming together for a funeral. Kickass 2: 7/10 Decent storyline, not half as interesting as the first one was, but OK for a rental. I wished it had more action sequences; it seemed like this one focused more on themes and character development than the first one. The Lone Ranger: 7.5/10 This one was surprising to me. I was genuinely entertained by the movie, but had issues with the plot and characterization. Really thought they could have done better for such a classic hero, but I guess all big-budget popcorn movies end up being similar. Also, I feel like Tonto shouldn't have been portrayed so much as a buffoon and it should have been a Native American actor in the role.

Disruptive Conduct is spot on. As long as there were no problems with a captain or the team, he or she is always welcome to captain a team again.

Happy Birthday!

The Planetary Empires campaign was supposed to start tonight, but Bronson had to move it back a week. So, the official new start date is the 1/21 GN.

LOL. Sounds great! Looking forward to adding a yellow die to my collection!

Anyone planning on attending GN tomorrow? I'd like to play a 2k game of 40k, if anyone is interested. LMK.

Just gives me more time to practice. :)

+1. LoF is one of a handful of people who can say "I was invited to the first OFCC."

Sounds great! Would love to face Necrons again. I'll have Dev. Centurions with me, just FYI.

We could certainly organize one, if there is sufficient interest.

James, if you can't get anyone else for a teaching game, I would be glad to do so. If James does find another opponent, I will be looking for a 2k game of 40k. I really need some practice with my list, prior to the start of the Planetary Empires campaign (1/14!)
