    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    I thought that was a bit over the top, especially with how slowly Ma Kent spoke. It seemed a bit like a characicutre to me. Maybe it was meant to be. Still loved the movie!

    Have her read the source comic, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. It will make much more sense.

    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    I loved it. I breathed a huge sigh of relief because I am a DC fan, and they have had an...uneven track record, let's say, at the box office. I thought it was fast-paced, looked remarkable, and did such a great job with all of the characters, including Superman. A+ from me. I am left feeling...

    Free League Year Zero Engine

    I'm going to play T2k, and I got the rules, so I'll give them a read and see what I think. As I have played more and more games, and learned/encountered more and more systems, I find I prefer simpler mechanics vs. crunchier games. Just a personal preference. Less rolling, more role-playing...

    Free League Year Zero Engine

    Do the number of skills vary by game, or is the Year zero engine pretty well defined regardless of game? I have gotten away from skill based games (D&D, Dragonbane, Call of Cthulhu) for more attribute-based games. Just curious. I suppose I could simply look at some character sheets...

    Free League Year Zero Engine

    What do people think about the the Free League Year Zero engine? We are fixing to play Twilight 2000, and I'm looking at The Walking Dead, too. Any thoughts?

    Diamond Comic Distributors Files Bankruptcy, Sells Alliance Game Distributors

    I think they made a stupid error, but what can you do? I like their games, and I will continue to buy them. I did not buy this particular thing (the City State book). I find that, in life, most people are not all of one thing or another. People are a mix of things, and I am not willing to be the...

    Traveller 1e & Me

    I want to read that book, but man! Pricey.

    Traveller 1e & Me

    I'm trying to get away from settings created by others in general (I mostly run fantasy games set in the Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Hyboria, etc.) I want something as system agonistic as possible for the sci-fi game I'm kicking around in my head.

    Traveller 1e & Me

    Hello, friends. I have just purchased Deluxe Traveller, the old 1e box from 1983. I have never played Traveller before, and I am looking forward to getting to know the system, playing around with some campaign building based on old school pulp scifi, and generally nerding the f'out. I would love...

    Fortunately my players are all my age, too, so they also suffer from CRS (Can't Remember Sh*t).

    Aging and Gaming

    I'm 56. The thing I've noticed most is that my verbal word recall when I am GMing a game is getting harder. I'm trying to describe a thing, and I'm like "...uh, it's a...uh...you know, a...uh." I also start things, forget that I started them, think of a great idea, go to start it, then realize I...
