Well, its actually Sunday…
30th anniversary of Raiders.
Yup. 30 years for the Man in the Hat… and his whip…
That movie is STILL a classic!
I remember my mom took me and my bro outta school to see that film on opening day. My mom is cool. Just for kicks, I am running the original TSRs Indiana Jones rpg and playing through the Raiders of the Lost Ark module on Saturday for the guys in the R.D.G.Club. It should take a good part of the evening. Though I am updating the figs to add in my pulp figs and not using those paper fold ups… Should be a good time. Anybody else doing anything for the Raiders 30th?

I am going gambling in the Himalayas tonight. |

I am going gambling in the Himalayas tonight. Just don't get into a drinking contest with the barkeep. It's too bad they had to turn Marion into a screaming girl in the second half of the movie. In the first part she was great; drinking the sherpa under the table, hitting Indy in the face, whacking a kidnapper in the head with a frying pan, even out-drinking the French Archeologist (darn it, what was his name?), but once we got into the tomb, she was just useless. |

Does that then qualify it as a historical role playing game? |

Fantastic movie. One of my all-time favorites. Too bad they never made any sequels. Then again, if they had, they probably would have been terrible. |

LOL! You are a funny guy, Darth! |

I'm going round to Shia LaBeouf's house with a rounders bat and a blowtorch. Least I could do. |

> Does that then qualify it as a historical role playing game? Nah, has to be at LEAST as old as Middle Earth before it's historical. |

I'm going to open up a carnival side-show in Abbotabad, with one exhibit--a large ornate box with angels ornamenting the top.
Admission: Taliban and al-Qaeda members only, must show their employee association card to get a peek inside. After that, we'll be taking it on the road to the Northwest Provinces, northern Afghanistan, Teheran, Damascus… |

It's not the years baby. It's the mileage. |

I went to a nearby theater to see it when it opened. There was a large crowd at there and I thought that seating would be tight, but, to my surprise there was lots of room. It appears that the locals were all flocking to a different movie being "sneak-peeked" that night. I guess some locals were extras and it was filmed in the area. I enjoyed watching Raiders while most everyone else watched "Stripes" I was stationed at Ft. Knox. |

Well…
I forgot how bad that TSR version of the game was… 
But we still had a hoot!
