- I'd normally agree, but there is more information on this entry than you'd normally find in a dictionary definition. I think with all the extra info, it's fine here. :-) — Frecklefoot | Talk 22:30, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Victory over Ruin, Pestilence and Lust
I wrote that I read it on a Stephen King's novel, but maybe was it on a Graham Masterton one. It was several years ago. Reply to David Latapie 20:19, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Excalibur?
I seem to recall that Excalibur was a sword of sharpness, not a vorpal sword, in Deities & Demigods. (They function similarly but have different alignments). Can anyone confirm this?

[edit] dungeon keeper
dungeon keeper isn't an rpg, it's an rts. weapons just don't come into it at all. i assume that must be from a different game.
[edit] Double Listing
"The Vorpal Blade also appears in the card game Munchkin, where it does double damage to any enemy whose name begins with the letter J. The card also reads "Don't ask why, don't ask what Vorpal means either""
"In the Steve Jackson Games's Munchkin, there is a card named "Vorpal Blade". According to the text in the card it gives a +3 bonus to the user and "an extra +10 against anything that starts with the letter J. Don't ask why. Don't ask what Vorpal means, either.""

Hmm, my Munchkin cards are way over the other side of the room... but the idea of "double damage" makes no sense in the Munchkin game (all monsters have one "hit"), so I guess the second is true. 172.142.210.231 00:16, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Final Fantasy XII
Vorpal is also used in this game. There is a Mob Hunt you need to go after, and that is the "Vorpal Bunny." --68.102.37.191 23:16, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Star Wars
I edited out the reference from Star Wars - "Vorpal is also the style of swordplay created and used by Master Mace Windu" - as it was incorrect. Windu's style is "Vaapad", not Vorpal. Figured I'd make mention of this here, in case whoever wrote it originally objects to its deletion and wonders why it was cut. Hossenfeffer 00:04, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Spoilers?
"A sword identified as a Vorpal Blade, able to cut space-time, is featured in Charles Stross' forthcoming Glasshouse."
The Vorpal Blades capabilities in the novel would seem to be an important plot point. Might be a good idea to put up a spoiler warning...
