bookish_dragonThere's a new Robin Hood. Yeah, euhm. Meh on my part. They wanted to make him too sparkly what with his bow-fu and things. All I kept thinking was 'Did he take levels of Ranger? And how many would he have needed to get Manyshot?' (The answer is 6, if he has taken the Archery-route.) I'm a geek, sue me. And what was up with throwing up his sword like that to the battlements? Nice going, doofus. You're out of weapons now.
I also got fed up with his political commentary. Was it just me, or did that seem too out of place for that time-period? Honestly, I was more rooting for the Sherrif, and he's an evil bastard who crushes his own budgerees.
I moderately liked Marian, but I'm a sucker for strong women.
Have a link from a messageboard I'm also at: Robin Hood on RPG.Net.
I was a bit moody that evening, so that did colour my perceptions. I survived the end by trying to find D&D-actions in the scenes. 'Shouldn't he get an AoO against that guy trying to shoot that bow from 5 feet away? Oh wait, he's more than 5 feet away. That's why Marian doesn't get -4 for throwing that hairpin into melee.'
