Some days just wind up like that. Right behind a mention of CGI greatness, I point out for our dice-rolling brethren that the site for Green Ronin's universal d20 system True20, is up. This will make sense to precisely nine of you, but Steve Kenson has stripped out all the sacred cows and built the system GURPS should have been (if you dig point-buy instead of level-based, go drink in Mutants & Masterminds instead, soon to be all-genres thanks to the upcoming Masterminds Manual.)

Return to your character sheets and go about your business.

Fine, it didn't make any sense. But DAMN that was some fine fight choreography, and just a laundry list of camera moves to "borrow."

I didn't even know most of those characters, but the "reunion fight" in the second act -- that's how you introduce characters. Think Giles zapping Dark Willow, but five times.

Worth it for the spectacle.
