Yesterday A friend pointed out to me that while there are many reasons for the war in Iraq (few moral ones), it is likened to a crusade, as they were trying to tell me that religions do horrible things.
I'm a christian, I know that my religion is responsible for a lot of atrocities (Actually we became the largest and most dominant religion becase we're really good at comitting them and falsifying the records) and that yeah there could be a comparison between them. But that isn't the point.
But since we couldn't play D&D last night, we played other stuff and the talk came to RISK then Axis and allies. Considering Star Wars is somewhat based on WWII. And we have a Star Wars RISK (Which is terrible by the way. Good basically has 6 turns to win, and doesn't need them if they're played right, and you can hold North, and South America, and Asia, on four choke points.)
But why isn't there a Star Wars Axis and Allies game?
Discuss, other games to tie in franchises you'd like to see.

My guess would be that it has to do with the cost of the game. Axis & Allies is already one of the more expensive board games add on the Star Wars franchise fee and you are tlaking about a product that only a select group of Star Wars fans could even afford and of that group how many have enough time to play or are even interested in Axis & Allies?

I suppose, but then can I at least get a good Star Wars board game? Cause the RISK one really sucks.

That may be another reason. Star Wars board games have never been a huge seller. the only one I ever purchased was Monopoly and that was because it was ten bucks at Wal-Mart and I figured it would be something to do over a long Christmas break.

Actually, they detatched his head and put it on this humongous robot body, and he feeds on Cuban children. That is until he invaded Cuba in order to find...and eat Elian and got shot in the head by Fidel Castro, who also shot Elian in the head as well. It's fact folks.snake0067 said:

well everyone.. I played Grand theft auto-vice city.. It wasn't pretty and I learned that I can't drive a car at all in the game (give me a bike anytime).. but it was fun to try something new.

Royal Challenge!
OK since we've all had alot of directions going I thought I would toss out something fun for we Nerds to partake of.
So here it is,
The Challenge of the Empress!
*fan fare flaires loudly and fades to silence*
Nerds, we have all seen examples that make our Nerd hearts swell with pride and fall in sorrow...so I ask this of you. Post a pic of either the one thing you think most represents Nerdkind to you, or that which is the lowest possible Nerd humiliation.
And anyone who participates and wants a handmade AV will get it.

While I know it'll never happen, (at least in my youth, what little there is left of it, anyway) I'd like to see some Final Fantasy table-top games. The only problem would be picking out WHICH Final Fantasy to bend the aesthetics of the game to.chronicle_tenko said:
I think FFT or FFX would make really good Monopoly versions.
Original FF or FFT could make an okay Risk, although the rules would have to be completely redone.
FFT A&A would rock, in my opinion. You have two major factions, you could splinter it even more for truly outrageously big games, and the specialized units could easilly be translated. FFT-Advanced would make a good setting, too, but there's only one continent, so I dunno if that would work too well.
I think it would be ten kinds of awesome if someone released a Final Fantasy based collectible trading card game. Not necessarily M:tG, because the mechanics would mesh well, but something.
And of course, you all know I've been working on FF based D&D stuff. Someday I hope to sell something to SquareEnix so that they can liscence it through Wizards of the Coast, but that dream is so lofty it almost deserves to be laughed at.

No, Walt Disney's head was preserved and grafted to a giant mechanical spider that subsists on small Cuban children. Haven't you seen Robot Chicken?snake0067 said:
