They are making a movie, Dragon's Lair. Ryan Reynolds to star as Dirk.

Do you know who's playing Princess Daphne?]]>

AM damage on the regular sword seems a bit much with only GD strength. Shouldn't the sword do EX damage instead?]]>

Maybe in addition to his own statistics, his quarter-feeding tail gunner / guardian angel / interfering interdimensional player can substitute their own (hopefully higher) score for his when he gets stuck?

It could also be a form of time travel power where once a player has gone through part of the game it becomes radically easier in future, so maybe he has a "remember future event" or "vision of a saved world" power? Successful check gives him +1 CS, yellow gives him +2, red means he cruises through that challenge without a further roll?

Just thinking of how the game played once you'd spent several hundred dollars on it :)]]>

Good writeup!
Do you think his coming back from the dead after repeatedly dying should be part of his or his world's writeup? Either as a time travel related power where he restores to life in a parallel world where he has not yet died, or perhaps another character is intervening Kang-like with his destiny?

Given how annoyed he looks when he dies in the game, perhaps he is irritated because he knows he will soon come back to life?

I think his life is somehow magically linked to American quarters. I put enough of them in this game.]]>
