I own two Kubrick films and one of them is in my opinion his best film. That film is PATHS OF GLORY. The other is THE KILLING. I can appreciate his later films and have a soft place in my heart for FULL METAL JACKET and SPARTICUS.

I should also clarify that it depends on the genre. For Fantasy I prefer premade with modifications and customizations. If I'm running a supers game? I might use the world setting or create my own but I tend to really homebrew the scenarios/adventures because my knowledge of super-hero comics...

I usually do and live to run pre-made. I'm experimenting with heavily modifying a premade adventure and supporting materials. I do prefer to have existing materials that I can switch up, further flesh out or modify over building everything from scratch. I defintiely dont have the time or the...

LOL. The most "abuse" or pushback I received was from some of my peers in school when they saw me with D&D books during lunch. "Why do you play that? That's white people s**t." None of it was serious, just good natured ribbing but yeah...that's it really.

I usually attend ONE convention a year post-COVID, and that's the one I can literally take the train to, New York Comic-Con. I used to attend Heroes Con in Charlotte. It's an ACTUAL comic-con that focuses on comics and not pop culture, but I haven't been since 2019. I have never been to any...

Considering that WOTC is the industry leader by a fair margin and can afford to print massive amounts of their books, so it was actually CHEAPER to print more and thus have their books actually BE cheaper when sold at retail. Even still, WOTC should be selling their books for more, considering...

You're not weird,man. The Avengers and JLA can't all be filled with flying bricks/artillery platforms. They need the stealth/infiltrators as well.

My GM ran the game in "A" DC universe, but not "THE" DC universe. Which, for me, is what interests me most about playing in a supers game. I don't want to play or even run games about established characters. Like...WHY? Most of the times where I've seen people run established characters, they...

That's great and all, but then you ignored the rules of character creation to do whatever you wanted. My friends and I played this when it first came out, both the basic (yellow) and the later version, with the blue box, and while the rules gave you the choice of picking your character origin...

LOL. I have a sealed box of DC HEROES 2nd Edition. I also still have my 3rd Edition books. And I still almost got caught up and backed that kickstarter.

I played MSH with the Ultimate Powers Handbook for a long time. My friends and I then found both DC HEROES (MEGS) and Champions in short order and was like "Oh snap!! We can actually CHOOSE our powersets?!?" LOL. But to answer your question, no. It did for the time before we knew what else was...

For me, to be considered a successful game, I need my supers game to have a fair amount of customization and to be somewhat crunchy. Rules light / Narrative games do not work for me especially with a high amount of GM Fiat and designers who just have a casual love and or affinity for the Supers...
