Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
I suspect another SW game. They mentioned in 674 that Jim played Kyle Katarn at one time.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
Guys, I have to admit I never saw or read Princess Bride... though part of the thing that keeps me from doing so is because I don't know whether to reasd or watch it first.
As for what they were playing... No idea. Nurse and pilots made me think of some real life stuff... Wasn't there that WW II movie about two pilots and a nurse? Pearl Harbor, maybe? Not that I've ever seen that one.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
Read it first. It is a quick read and very engaging (worth re-reading, even), and as is so often the case, the book is better than the movie.
Not that the movie is bad, but it is a very good book. You will have many regrets in life. Reading The Princess Bride will not be one of them.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
You know, I have actually seen LotR novels that were cheap attempts to cash in on the movies' success. I mean, I think it was the same text as the more serious editions, but they had made everything they could to make it look like a novelization of the movies (re-using the movie posters for the book cover, plenty of screencaps along the pages, etc.). I've also seen Narnia getting the same treatment.
On the Princess Bride subject, I've seen the movie because I had been told it was on TV (I normally never watch TV but I made this an exception); but I've yet to read the book because I've never seen it in the local library (it's a tiny one).Hark! An avatar drawn by Kate Beaton!

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
Despite the impression the movie might give you, the book is in fact a novelization of the movie and is inferior to it.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
Well, no. I understand there's a lot of confusion about the book.
SpoilerThere is no S Morgenstern!
But it did predate the movie. However, the format of the book, specifically Goldman's commentaries on his abridgement of S Morgenstern's original work-
SpoilerThere is no S Morgenstern!
have been updated with each new edition of the book, which is why a book first published in its widely known form in the seventies and written considerably earlier than that by S Morgenstern

may contain references to the making of the movie adaptation.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
And I am shocked. Shocked! To learn this.
But we are still no closer to knowing what movie/book/play DnD is refering to. (And I submit that it must be something, as that's part of the humor: no one would ever take two pilots and two medics in an rpg.)
The authors have stumped us.Last edited by Stegyre; 2012-09-06 at 04:28 PM.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
I read the book, it is worst then the movie. The author had depression when he wrote the ending. There was a reason it was cut out of the movie. It changed the toin big time.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
I thought they were referring to pearl harbor, but the whole fencing thing has me stumped, also the doctor who does not want to be a doctor

My wife insists that it is "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." She made me post this immediately, wanting bragging rights should she be proven right. I guess we'll see.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
With fencing she is defeated. But that whole phase (fencing, fighting, revenge, escapes, true love, miracles) might be exaggeration, metaphor, and/or hyperbole.
Regarding the pilots: she thinks some of the mental patients were pilots who got shell shocked and are no longer pilot-capable.
She now admits that she might be wrong, they might not be pilots, and asks the internet gods to not smite her. I told her to never admit defeat, to stick to her guns, and to smite right back.
So.. umm, Landis, where is the fencing and pilots in M*A*S*H?Blank 3.5 Character Creator Iron Chef Style Tables (in Google Sheets)

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
The Catch-22 idea fits if you take the alternative meaning of 'fencing'. Yossarian and Dobbs as the two pilots (the latter being shell-shocked), Doc Dankeeka as the doctor who doesn't want to be a doctor, and Nurse Duckett as the nurse.
Yeah, I'm sort of cherry-picking minor characters, but it's the best I got.Last edited by The Glyphstone; 2012-09-06 at 06:23 PM.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
fencing and pilots…..and a doctor whom didn't want to be a doctor….
I'm guessing…..Firefly? it had fencing in one episode, I'm pretty sure it had a pilot, and hopefully a second, and there was a doctor in it…..
but I'm not sure if the doctor doesn't want to be a doctor if there was a second pilot in it….
probably not, but still…..firefly.
alternatively? it could be a gundam or mecha thing. those have pilots and fencing at the same time since such mecha have swords, and of course, doctors to heal the mecha pilots.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
Lord Tyger, agreed, none of the main characters are pilots, so both my wife and I discount it.
I really think that whole fencing sentence is bogus. The description of "a war Epic" probably fits.
I personally liked Catch 22 as an option, as well as an independent work of literature.
Although it goes against the grain of movies-as-campaigns-in-Darths-and-Droids, which is a significant factor against it, as far as I am concerned.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
That, and I had to cherry-pick heavily to get the characters to match up, using some rather minor names.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
When I made that prediction(I.e. The MASH one), I didn't think to take the Princess Bride quote into account, and I thought the Comic Irregulars could apply some artistic license or something.
It could be Blackadder for all we know. (Although that doesn't have pilots either )
