Yeah, that's the crux of it. In a world this evil, actually doing good would bring the full weight of the world down on you. Given Superman's powers, it wouldn't matter. We have Superman comics where he takes nuclear blasts and survives. Nothing in any country's arsenal is going to put a dent...

That's dedication. According to other stories I've read about this guy and his game, they've been using a modified version of AD&D 2E since it came out.

There are so many great moments and periods in Spanish history that would make great elements for an RPG setting. Like you, I’d defer to a native for fear of getting something wrong or causing offense. As much as I want to see something like that, I’d love to see more Latin American settings...

Just finished James M. Cain’s Double Indemnity. Brilliant book that’s a quick read. I can see why it’s a classic. I’m sure I’ve seen the film version before, but it’s been years. More telling than showing, but it’s explained why in the story. Man I love the old hardboiled/noir novels.

The algorithm pushes doom and gloom. Any topic you look at long enough will start pushing the apocalypse your way.

Not really sure. They’ve always been there. Comic books as a little kid. Norse and a smattering of Greek with Thor and Hercules. Movies as a little kid. Mostly Greek with Jason and the Argonauts and Clash of the Titans among so many others. D&D books of course. Various books on mythology growing...
