Wow, thank you for sharing those! That's a wonderfully impressive lineup of collectables. I can't believe you scored a Gil Kane signature like you did, incredible. The Blade Runner book is classic, I have a copy hanging around somewhere. I am also jealous of your tie clip, that's some high class nerd-ism.

The kids I teach get a kick when I rock my superhero ties and tie clips :)

Teachers Rock! My GF and many of my close friends are teachers. Thank you for educating the youth! It's great that you get positive reactions from them when you sport the nerd stuff.

Thank you! It makes me smile because I always seem to connect with a shy student who opens up about liking sci fi or fantasy or superheroes or whatever and even if it’s soemthing I don’t know a lot about (like D&D or Manga) they know I’m nerdy enough to at least listen and that’s all they want. 

Makes it easier to get them on board when you can chat with them about stuff they like and then try to force quadratic equations on them lol.

And we have a winner for Question 9, @Crops068 checking in at 10:11PM ET. The actor in question was Sir John Hurt who played the War Doctor on Doctor Who, was in V for Vendetta created by Moore, was in both Merlin and the original LOTR cartoon from 1978, and was Mr. Olivander in Harry Potter. He gets around and definitely deserved the knighthood.

And we have our 3rd two-time winner. @littledoom came in at 2:28PM ET with the correct answer of 0. Yes, it was kind of a trick question, but it is also oddly true that the word 'Ewok' was not mentioned even once in the original trilogy. Well done!

"Ewok" being the "opposite" of "Wook-E" :foryou:

I Never thought of that lol 

yeah, as I recall in ROTJ instead of Endor, they were supposed to be on KASSSSYYKKKK or however you spell the Wookiee planet! (Which IMO would have made ROTJ much cooler) but I guess they figured little teddy bears sell more toys, so Ewoks it was! 

I think that why in ROTS they had Yoda on the Wookiee planet, to make up for it a bit....

I can't believe you didn't take this opportunity to use "YYY" in a word... since that's what's so awesome about the word! :kidaround:

Kashyyyk - the vowels are the "a", first "y" and third "y"... you know... a,e,i,o,u, sometimes y.  The middle "y" is a consonant. :sumo:

:grin:

So, a late winner will wrap the contest. Question 3 has been answered by @Max Carnage. The answer I was looking for was an owl, both a typical Druid's familiar in D&D and who appeared in the 1928 short story book The House at Pooh Corner. Two, now very famous, characters debuted in that book, Owl and Tigger. A tiger would not usually be a low-level Druid familiar, but I know several DM's who either have or would allow it (usually it is conditional on a good backstory), so either answer was acceptable. All questions have now been answered. Thanks to all!
