The movie was fun, but for me, I’m not sure Gunn’s style was a great fit for Superman. Certainly better than anything Snyder did, but still not quite right. I think Gunn works better when writing for the more unknown D-list characters. For example, Mr Terrific was my favourite character in the...

A torch tucked into the back of your belt lets you see behind you while keeping your buns toasted.

The Beatles joke was pretty good as well.

Not that bad given this phase had both the pandemic and a writers strike to deal with. I feel they've managed to get their TV shows back on track after Secret Invasion. Next phase seems well set up, with F4 and a couple of Avengers films.

It's pretty safe to say it's whoever Villeneuve casts. ;)

I've always been uninterested in competition. Not caring about the need to win or lose is a large part of the attraction to RPG's for me. Roleplaying my character is the fun part for me.

I enjoyed the show. I was not expecting that ending, at all. Really hope we get a Season 2. I enjoyed The Hood as a character, so I was happy he wasn't killed off. One complaint I see a lot about Marvel is that they kill off villains too quickly. My main knowledge of Marvel these days comes...

I find a lot of players (especially new players learning the game) don't want to run multiple characters. And those that do struggle to get into character. This seems like an OK option for those peeps. Interesting that they're highlighting appropriate adventures for solo players, I wonder if...

I only read the book a few years back, so I'm very interested to see how they adapt it. The trailer looked disturbingly accurate to the book.

Looks interesting, but I'm more excited for the adaption of 'The Long Walk'

We often throw in a meme when emailing about our weekly game session. This was from my DM this week…

Darksun would have to change if it was released for 5E. And I don’t mean content wise. I mean, it would need to be compatible with the rest of the rules, not a stand alone system like it was in 2E, with ability scores going to 24.

I just keep picturing the intensity of films like Prisoners and Sicario applied to the more gritty realism of a the Craig era Bond films, and I think it’ll work really well. I guess we still need to see who gets cast as Bond.
