I’m going to start about by saying I like just about every actor in this film. I’ve liked Arielle Kebbel since seeing her in Reeker and American Pie: Band Camp. Sarah Carter was just about the only thing I liked in DOA: Dead or Alive. MyAnna Buring from The Descent, Martin Compston (Doomsday), and Andrew […]
After we wrapped up our sandbox brainstorming session on our race of cat people Saturday night, I led my players in the first portion of character generation. Over the last several years, I have made it a habit to lead character generation through email. It takes such a long time to make characters that its […]
