seneschal Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I was going to suggest, as an alternative combat simulation, The Witch-King of Angmar (Lord of the Nazgul) vs. Darth Vader (Lord of the Sith). But Ok, OK, OK, I see how you guys are. Since it is to be Ladies’ Night, we’ll expand our options a bit: Princess Leia Organa (Star Wars) and Colonel Wilma Deering (Buck Rogers in the 25th Century) vs. Lady Arwen and Eowyn, Shield-Maiden of Rohan (Lord of the Rings). All four are dedicated to preventing evil forces from conquering the universe. All four get going when the going gets tough, kicking butt and taking names. All four fill out a clingy white gown (or jumpsuit) quite nicely. Princess Leia supported The Rebellion as a spy and diplomat but her father’s death forced her to take on a more active combat role. She’s a crack shot with a blaster, experienced with demolitions, and has a solid grasp of strategic thinking. She wards off reversals of fortune with a sardonic sense of humor. Wilma Deering is commander of the Earth Defense Force. She is an expert space fighter pilot, an energy pistol markswoman, and skilled in several styles of hand-to-hand combat. When Buck Rogers isn’t there to distract her, she’s unflappable in the face of adversity. She’s performed diplomatic duties, but espionage is her stock in trade. Lady Arwen, unlike the other contestants, isn’t a professional warrior, although she does know how to use a sword, ride a horse, and shoot a bow. She is, however, an immortal elf with heightened senses and reflexes and gods only know how many decades or centuries of practice. She might be able to put some sort of telepathic whammy on her opponents as well. Eowyn is the product of a militaristic culture that trains its noble daughters as well as its aristocratic sons in the arts of swordsmanship and horsemanship. She prefers lance, shield, and sword to the bow, although she may be equipped with a pair of javelins on the battlefield. Driven by family ties and an iron sense of duty, she is willing to overcome her fears to brave any danger, even a one-on-one confrontation with the Lord of the Nazgul. Begin!

Atgxtg Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) It's truely scary how easily we all got distracted. Is this a guy thing or a guy RPGer thing? Anyway, at least this proves that it's better to roll unopposed. Edited September 20, 2012 by Atgxtg Quote Chaos stalks my world, but she's a big girl and can take of herself.
