Ouch. Great book and good movie but painful to read/watch (respectively).

So you would be more of an expert on the subject than the rest of us then?

Does it really matter if it's true or not since we're basically taking about a work of fiction in the first place?

Fair call. Why don't you school us in some non-bullshit science? Always interested to read opposing views.

Or is this just a gut feeling you have?

If that's the limit of what you have to bring to the discussion, it's perhaps not worth contributing. If you've got an argument that has more to it than the verbal equivalent of holding your hands over your ears and humming loudly to yourself it would be worth hearing.

Cormac McCarthy is probably my favourite writer - but this one..a man and his boy alone and pretty much helpless in a cannibal infested bleak and barren wasteland - and the man has lung cancer..

It was gut wrenching imho.

But - had to read it and see the movie.

Which was good as far as adaptations go. But a hard film to watch.

Default post link please

Read something about that once - and picked up various other bits of info about it over the years.

Currently running with the idea in our ongoing ftf campaign. Temperatures have been sinking over many a session ( still havent gotten that desperate scramble for food and lodgings effect that I hoped -oh well. I suppose the players will use violence to solve this one to.. )
