All you need to do is watch the trailer to understand why this movie is ideal for HDTGM: It has the things that make 70 movies great: the ex-football player in Rosey Grier, 70s racial cliches, terrible action sequences involving cop cars and motorcycles, and the director moving up from porn. Seriously, watch this trailer and you will understand.

They are important, especially when you play at infrequent intervals. They also are good to keep around because it's like a roadmap of where you are and where you can possibly go. So putting their necessity for D&D aside, character sheets are necessary for a good story. I want to be clear that I'm not trying to hate on any of the players and that I think the podcast is as good as it's ever been; it's just that I'm invested in this story and these characters and I get frustrated when they just aren't fulfilling their full potential.

I was screaming USE THE FUCKING SCROLL OF INVULNERABILITY ORB when Sark was like "you have one action." And no doubt Sark knew it too! Look at the damn character sheets every once in a while guys (and gal)! In any case, I do hope Damien sticks around and I'm glad he was praying if it gives him a way out. For those who are saying this plot has been railroaded, consider that while Blackie Green may have an 18 charisma his wisdom is clearly in the single digits. He watches the rats, who clearly know this area better than anyone and who pose no real threat in close quarters (unless they are the suicide bomber rats) escape through one set of tunnels, and then opts to go another direction? He then forgets the fucking scroll of Invulnerability Orb, and then proceeds to hide behind a shield while at the same time asking his familiar to take what will be likely unsurvivable and certainly unnecessary damage? If Stargoyle is dead, Sark please remember to look up the rules on death of a familiar. Make Blackie try to make his fort save and let him feel the burn in XP. He's the arcane spellcaster and is supposed to be the party swiss army knife: always prepared for these types of situations. Here he was given the tools he needed to succeed and he absolutely blew it resulting in the deaths of at least one of his companions and possibly his familiar!

TPK.

I just listened to the latest episode (Speed 2), and Con-Air is mentioned at the end! Hopefully that means there will be a Con-Air episode.

I recommend Con Air as a summer movie to review. It has it all. Bad accents. An all-star cast including Nic Cage, John Cusack, Steve Buscemi, John Malkovich, Dave Chappelle, Danny Trejo (who is a guest coming up) and Colm Meaney. It has cops who don't play by the rules. And of course, the completely ridiculous stunt with the plane fuselage sliding about 5 miles down the Las Vegas strip taking out everything in its way (while bystanders miraculously dive out of the way just in time).
