This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Marleycat;555525Why am I the only person not using a Magnificent Seven or The Good, Bad, and The Ugly avatar? Is there a female actress in either movie I could use?

Personally, I dig your current avatar! ;)

However, there was Petra (Rosenda Monteros) from The Magnificent Seven:



Also, there was Stevens' Wife (Chelo Alonso) from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly:

No no no ... they are all tiny bit parts.

Etta Pace from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?

Ellen from The Quick and the Dead (not an old school classic but I still think its a good western with a cracking cast) ?

Best of all Hannie Caulder - Its the right era 1970 and its Raquel Welch at her Prime and quite a prime that was

Yes indeed.
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans

Well, she did mention the two specific movies.  However, Chelo Alonso was definitely a 'sex kitten' of the time even though she had a small part in the movie.

She was insanely beautiful, still is in fact.

Correct I was looking for a specific look. And specific movies.

RE: Welch: She's so awesome in the Three Musketeers, not only in the way she looks, but her comedic performance is fucking great.
She was my second movie star crush after Jenny Aguter. Michael York got all the good ones.
You are posting in a troll thread.

How can you miss Claudia Cardinale in Once Upon a Time in the West? Awesome lines, plus JR gives her a great compliment:

With respect to the great trilogy, this remains my favorite Western (that doesn't have Clint). Henry Fonda as the bad guy!

I think that the information shown so far on this thread really isn't adequate in terms of information gathering to give us any kind of a clear understanding.  For that, you'd need to do searches on a variety of words, and try to filter out for contexts.  You'd need to search for the various OSR titles, for "AD&D", try to figure out somehow what the majority of searches for "D&D" are about, probably search for at least some of the supplement titles, etc.  
And if there was some way, figure out how many in each area are actually of material critical of a given edition.

Definitely the smart move. Quit trying to inject logic into this!

Another (possibly small) factor in the low numbers for 1&2e on the internet is how TSR handled the advent of the internet, which is to say very badly, with cease and desist letters, etc. Because of this there wasn't as much AD&D content as compared to the explosion of 3e and 4e stuff, at least until the OSR community started to use the OGL as well.

Another is the fact that large swaths of the TSR era Internet doesn't really exist anymore (or is at least problematic to access). Aol websites, usenet, geocities, etc...

Tons of TSR-era material just isn't around anymore (sadly).
