SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Nice pictures. I don't know if the Heavy Metal movie and the HM mags were the same, but the latter sure did have some great artwork. Really cool landscapes.

I remember trying to describe the feel of Mobius to my players. After a while they said "We get it Mobius...Mobius, can we get on with the adventure". Strange they never had any problems with my descriptions of Milo Manara's artwork :D

Regards,

It was a Canadian film? Huh. All these years and I didn't know that. Of course, with Second City alums like John Candy, Joe Flaherty, and Eugene Levy doing voices, I shoulda figured it out.

I think the actual score for the film, by Elmer Bernstein, was damned good, especially in the Taarna sequence. Too bad it's often overlooked, and I don't recall ever seeing it available; only the rock songs.

4e definitely has an Old School feel. If you disagree, cool. I won\'t throw any hyperbole out to prove the point.

Ah, but it was.  A friend's dad, film studies prof at Indiana University, owns it on vinyl.

Owned it on DVD pretty much from the day it came out in that format.

Still a favorite.

The score is, in fact, by Elmer Bernstein and you can find it on CD in soundtrack specialty stores, though they might be bootlegs.
