Sage, my hero!
Now, if we want to come up with good casting choices for MY books, on the other hand . . .
Shadowbane?
Myrin?
Fayne?
Twilight?
Cheers |

Christina Angulara maybe?? |
why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power

Ooh. If we're going to go with pop stars, I'd err more toward Amy Lee or Shakira.
I know I said Evangeline Lilly for Arilyn (and Elaine has said in the past she liked that match), but she'd make a good Twilight as well.
And really, what do you think adventurers *do* during all those extended rests? 
Cheers
P.S. And who said porn stars were out of the running?  |

Embarrassingly, I'm going to admit that I still have yet to read Downshadow. Sorry Erik. 
Though, Lilly gets my vote for Twilight as well. |

I said *nothing* about people who could act, Wooly, but the point is well made. Third time's the charm on D&D movies!
@Ruul: Lindsay Lohan? Srsly?

| Totally! Athletic build, demure, a little psychotic. Although, you'd need to write Twilight with a mind dust addiction to go along with Lohan. |

Sounds more like Fayne, really. Lohan as a really sexy villainess?
I think HBC (one of my favorite actresses) would be a better Twilight. The ages makes more sense as well.

Hey! This is not the place for attacks on people, for any reason--much less hate because someone is annoyingly super-hyped.
Everyone has opinions upon what is attractive and what is not. Let's try to be respectful of those opinions.

I used to not like her, but any woman who finds other women attractive is A-OKAY in my book.
How'd we get back to porn-stars?  |

Question is who would we let Lady Gaga play? |

will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

Yeah, porn stars kind of kill a conversation.
So, how about those Realms, non?

Sorry, I don't remember the names of most of the actors/actresses (except El Hedgehog, Ron Jeremy). Mostly because I only watch it for the creative plots and realistic special effects. |
I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

Just an update, y'all:
Finished the first draft of Shadowbane and sent it off to my editor Friday. I think it turned out pretty well, with a lot to offer n00bs and long-time fans of the Realms alike, and also people who've read my stuff before and people who have no familiarity with it at all.
Also, I know the James Brothers are going to go nuts over one specific part.
Cheers |

I think you might have mentioned it, yes.
I'm very happy with how it's turning out, and I think it's going to be a fitting addition to the Realms lexicon.
Not to mention lots of butt-kicking, either for goodness or otherwise.

Oh, dear. Is this related to the playtest session last GenCon, or something after the fact? |

This is subject to change, mind you, but as written now, it takes place about a year after the events of Downshadow.

You mean does it have a suitably scantily clad Twilight draping herself languorously across Matt James's lap and whispering sweet nothings in his ear?
Er, no, that's not quite the reason.
