ah yes, alot of recorded “civil disterbances” are in fact rebellions of some kind. also you fergot the peasants’ revolt of 1381, which involved a royal official trying to collect unpaid taxes and general chaos caused by the black death.

Really? Four Medici popes? And to think somewhere in there, the infamous Rodrigo Borgia aka Pope Alexander VI worked his way in.

Sweet veritech yo

It’s sort of part of the lesson on how to tell your story as the DM/GM, but some take it too literally and only apply it to kobolds instead of also making other “weak” monsters play to their advantages. But at least kobolds still get love that way.

There is a significant faction of the pen and paper role playing community that actually go far out of their way to make kobolds extremely clever and have their lairs absolutely carpeted with hazardous/lethal traps, to the point where the players would rather face giants or dragons. Not all RPG s obviously, and…

D&D has a lot to answer for. I’m not sure how spooky, sometimes mischievous and sometimes deadly tunnel spirits/earth elementals with multiple forms including human and dog forms became, “Uh, so it’s a dog... man that lives underground and... it’s a nuisance.” That really is a serious downgrade, isn’t it? I guess…

“Conan, Daenarys and Varro the gladiator try to save the world from CIA black ops man.”

Will this be where Charlie and I finally don’t agree 100%? Find out next week, same Termi-time, same Termi-channel.

All the money they spent on recreating a young Arnold and they couldn’t recreate a young Bill Paxton?!!!

One day they’ll take their rightful place along Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven :-) (in my mind, they already have)

When John Williams dies, I’ll be a mess. His music raised me. But Horner’s definitely played a huge part in my development as well. In fact they were the Big Two composers for me growing up.

Willow was essentially Horner’s tribute to Gustav Mahler, and it’s very good, but does make it a bit derivative. That’s why I think Krull is better.

The music was one of the best parts of Krull! :D

He really was good. Since everyone else is posting favorites, this is mine. The swelling music into the theme at around 2:20 I’d easily place with John Williams...

I think it might be my favorite score of his.

This can’t be real. When will celebrities stop flying their own planes? An assistant on Facebook is not good enough for me; I want to hear it from a more official source. Maybe there is still hope...

Awful news. James Horner was on that shortlist of giant composers, together with the likes of Jerry Goldsmith and John Williams. So many favorites... The Rocketeer, Willow, Krull. The list is seemingly endless. What a mark he made on pop culture!
