I went ahead and got IC (already purchased Mayhem), and I have to agree. I think Menagerie of Mayhem adds more (what I’d call) traditional fantasy creatures, while IC gets a lot more creative and even throws in some themed Environments. Mayhem is less expensive, but IC has about 3x the content...

I am left wondering, will Josh Gad return in Avengers: Doomsday?

A lot of Season 2 felt like: “Stay tuned for next season! In the meantime, have some Deathclaws!” I want to like Norm and was hoping he’d uncover more clues about FEV, but at this point I wouldn’t miss him much if he were written off the show.

I’m usually game to try something at least once, but some of the geek media I did try and bounce off of are: Collectible card games. I don’t like purchasing anything that’s randomized, and the surrounding culture is too competitive for my tastes. I also had a former friend who, years ago, got...

Oh yes! I mean, there has to be a few dozen (or hundred) more of them, right? By the end of BG2 I remember asking myself, Are we sure Bhaal was the god of murder??

If you’re going for more sci-fi elements you could have a singularity contained in the middle of the Sigil ring, somehow impossibly “stable”. In my more traditional Planescape game, I adopted a fan theory of there being a third, “ordial” transitive plane that joined the Inner and Outer planes…...

Well huh… this certainly wasn’t on my bingo card. I hope they do a good job! Also, I hope they don’t go back to mind flayers, I got so burned out on them after BG3 😅

Overall I still had fun with Season 2, but it often felt like it was spinning its wheels with too many plots and side characters I didn’t feel all that invested in. I enjoyed their take on Robert House depiction and there were a few cameos that made me smile. But yes, someone above me said...

Yes, quite a few smart super mutants out there. Fallout 2 had the intelligent super mutant companion Marcus, voiced by Michael Dorn of Lt Worf fame. He had been serving as the sheriff of a town in northern CA if memory serves.

My main group has been using Planescape as the setting for a while. Characters can actually get to the Astral Plane at fairly low level if they know of a gate, but once there they have to really be mentally certain about where they are goin. Unprepared characters can easily get lost in the...

I think the show really hits its stride when Trevor and Simon come together on screen, so if you give it another chance, I’d recommend at least give it an episode or 2 to see how their relationship unfolds.

Oh I think you’re absolutely right about all the above. But for me, it’s fun to imagine replaying those games in a modern format. Now maybe if we could get the New Vegas team from Obsidian like @MarkB suggested above, then we might have something! Edit: the post reply button on my phone...

I would have said a true sequel to Star Control 2 made by Paul and Fred, but it looks like we may actually be getting that! I’d love to see 3d remakes of Fallout 1 and 2. I own the originals, have replayed them many times, but remakes in the vein of Fallout 3-4 would be a ton of fun and might...

Star Frontiers was one of the classic TSR games I never got to play. One of the other kids in my D&D friends group had a few of the books and we’d rolled up a bunch of characters and speculate about the setting lore, but we didn’t seem to know how to craft adventures for it. We’d then speculate...
