Ninja Fight!
One of them is now solved. This makes me deliriously happy! You can't see it, but I'm smiling.
I figure so as not to be a total tease, I'll let you know what the three snags are.
1. Final Move/Super Saiyan Mode (SOLVED!)
2. Optional Story Structure metagame (Getting there)
3. Number of dice and how they're assigned to characters (Completely unsure)
The last one tempers my enthusiasm a bit, but I'll keep plugging away.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief
Sure, there have been commercials of the trailer playing. Sure, the trailer has been in front of some movies. These things are good. I’m guessing (because I haven’t seen any) that there are cast and production members giving interviews and such in all the various places one does such things.
I mean they had to have spent quite a lot of money on the film, so why not spend some on marketing and get the word out this is more than a Harry Potter wannabe? I suspect I already know the answer: They’ve already decided that it’s going to fail and they aren’t going to spend a dime more than they are required to spend at this point. Maybe the movie isn’t good. Dunno. Haven’t seen it yet. I’ll let people know once I do. I think Fox thinks it isn't or won't sell for some reason.
Still, it would be nice to have seen a push for this film.
By the way, if I missed said push, let me know. I would like to believe it did happen and I just whiffed on it.
