I'm putting this one up in honor of John Neville who passed away this week. It's unlikely anyone else would have been able to pull off the Baron Munchausen at the level he did. The movie itself struck me as unique. It made me think about the power of stories. Especially with regards to the idea of epic skills. The thought that one could alter reality, and even end the siege of a city, simply by telling a story struck me as something I'd love to pull off in an RPG some day. I doubt I'll have the chance as the mechanics for such a feat don't exist in any system that I'm aware of. But I can dream. I can dream that someday I'll have a character story that is at the very least a fraction as cool as the stories of the Baron Munchausen.

That film is epic - on so many levels. One of my all-time faves. Such a shame about Neville - I'd not heard about that.
