I like the ending very American College Drama. Overall it felt very X-Men, especially Tarimas navigation not-magic. The Trial was very tropey but suitably Star Trek.

Probably because of my love of the various Sinbad the Sailor movies of the 1950-1970's I absolutely love Al-Qadim and in particular the Golden Voyages, Corsairs of the Great Sea. Along with City of Delights. Its a fantastic setting that works well to capture a different flavour than the rest of...

Are you sure thats not just rounders?

thats one of those foreign Panini things, not a real two slabs of white bread and slice of roast beef Sandwich

personally, I think its sad that potatoes are so ubiquitous as I absolutely love Turnips! and make a point of putting turnips, parsnips and beets in all the stews that the PCs come across in their European analogue worlds. Of course I mainly play in a Eastern European/Balkans inspired setting...

it sounds more like Geekify were trying to take an IP that is fundamentally about feeding and training pets while you explore their world and turn it in to Pokemon battle arena. Neopets didnt like that approach, reacted to Neopet fan complaints and pulled back their licence, which is fine...

yeah, thats the point. The first Captain America movie was introducing WW2 era Captain America to a new movie watching audience and leant in to what he meant to the original WW2 story ie the USO Propaganda vignettes. Its Winter Soldier where we see the updated Captain America v corrupt...

I think Captain America did well with the material that it had - It wasnt a great movie, but it was good enough especially as the movie had to deal with the fact that the original Captain America was at his core a Pro America Propaganda piece, and a Boy Scout that needed to be introduced to a...

Must be cultural, I have a cousin who is an Airforce pilot (flying helicopters for the Navy funnily enough), he doesnt swear that much and certainly not like a sailor

yeah I agree, swearing and sex was used in Torchwood as a edgy shtick rather than a useful storytelling tool, it was unnecessary and added nothing useful to the show. Thats really the distinction to be made, is swearing part of good storytelling or just there for the 'cool kids'. I dont know...

So what kind of doorknobs can be played with in this game? With the factory long abandoned surely some knobs would have lost their grip, while others may have turned and now be left spinning. Even worse would be those knobs that become jammed up and sealed off from reality. It sounds like an...

Yeah I watched JL Unlimited, thats pretty much where all my knowledge of John Stewart comes from. The only other version I've seen is the terrible Ryan Reynolds movie. Green Laterns always been a bit of a secondary character for me, behind the big four of Sups, Batman, WW and Flash and far less...

I really like the Dungeon World Fronts as it gives an easy way to define your campaign tone and genre and let it grow from its set of Dangers and their Motivation rather than rigid plots. Dangers can be Factions (Organisations), Supernatural/Arcane Forces, Monsters or Cursed Places/Events and...

Anyone got any recommendations on Green Lantern movies to catch up with while we're waiting for this? Is there anything good from DC animation?

its seems to me you need to make your battle fields more dynamic 1. Make your Battlefields dynamic so that the PCs have to be mobile - stairwells, balconies, chandeliers, tilting floors, collapsing ruins, lightning discharges, spreading fires, floodwater, healing shrines, raised dias, short...
