Finished it about a day ago, and this in no way needed to be set in the MCU. This felt like an A24 series made by people who don't like or care for superheroes. It's an elitist film bro's wet dream. That's not to say that it wasn't good, because it WAS, but it just as easily could have been a...

Collectible Card games and MMORPGs. Also LARPing.

I prefer options and build complexity. If it's too story based and adjudication comes soley at the whims of the GM? No thanks.

Sorry, I just took umbridge at the idea that people haven't tried anything new. It came off a bit too much like we're stuck in the past and don't like anything or haven't tried anything new. And I know that's not the case as far as I go. To that point, however, you're not exactly wrong about...

Why don't you make some suggestions instead of implying that people haven't tried new stuff?

I used to be a huge superhero comics guy. I stopped buying DC books regularly with their New 52 initiative. It was definitely my jumping-off point, and I never fully went back. Marvel lost me after all of their solid writers left, Brubaker, Fraction, Bendis, and those guys. The last really great...

My 2 desert island books are Kurt Busiek's ASTRO CITY and Stan Sakai's USAGI YOJIMBO. I have the Original Fantagraphics trades from 1-5 and then the huge Dark Horse compendiums from 1-9. Back in 2019 I finally got to meet Stan Sakai at HeroesCon and took a picture with him and got a sketch. It...

I was JUST coming into say this. I think I backed two of them back in the day and I have a MASSIVE amount of them sitting in a closet. I DO want to eventually assemble and paint the skeletal dragon that part of one of those kickstarters and another diorama but I KNOW I'll never get to the rest...

I do too! I was the prime age for the 1984 version when it came out so I loved it. I have my copy of Secret Wars #8 signed by Mike Zeck. I just wish that I'd gotten Jim Shooter to sign it as well before he passed. I do think that the 2015 version, as the end of Marvel 616 as well as the climax...

I was at the panel in NYCC last year when this was announced, so I'm HYPED for it. I'm a huge fan of the Hickman/Ribic maxi-series from 2015, as well as the build-up to it. As opposed to the 1984 series, which was just designed to sell toys.

I'm going to argue that there are very, VERY few solid trilogies out there. For me Best Trilogies would have to factor that I think that all three movies in the trilogy are very good. As much as I love INDIANA JONES? I can't rewatch LAST CRUSADE without flinching. It's easily the weakest of...

After some thought, I'd say yes it would STILL be D&D. I started playing with the Moldvay box. There was no separation between race and class. THACO was a thing and hadnt been simplified to a d20 target number and there were 5 saves (IIRC). Mechanically, it's almost a completely different...

I don't like it. Right now I'm running a Pathfinder 2e game at Hex and Co on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and the environment is usually pretty loud and cramped. No room for maps or to spread out a GM's screen. I'm going to keep running but the fact that I have to pay for a suboptimal space...

I went to the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game: Behind The Scenes Panel at New York Comic-Con. On the panel was the development team for the game: Carlos Cervantes (producer), Assistant Producer Amir Osman, Editor Brian Overton, and Associate Editor Danny Khazem. They mostly talked about the...
