yeah it felt like an American pretending to be a British thug, but with bad costuming and average acting - which is kinda surprising since the actor grew up in South London. Maybe Artemas just isnt very good at acting thug, he did go to a very posh school :p
Dont forget Serpent Kingdoms - 3e Forgotten Realms sourcebook that details the races and serpent kingdoms of the Forgotten Realms. That book let you play as a Yuan-Ti
[SELF DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING- Necrotic Response Active
[SYSTEM RESPONSE: Elevated Nociceptive sensitization [CORE INTEGRITY: STABLE]

For a fraction of a second Shade-9's tactile sensor registered discomfort, as the necrotic field pressed in pass plating, articulated...
I'd make Obed Marsh the Darklord and actally run the town in the 1840s when Obed has established the Cult but before the Deep Ones invade - so essentially a prequel to Shadows Over Innsmouth. Maybe when Obed was to be arrested, he chants a ritual but instead of the Deep Ones rising the Dark...
As a Fate Accelerated fan I'd say to use that - Approaches and Aspect permissions are great for Super Powers, ofthose you listed ICONS is based on a hybrid of Fudge and MM rules so its got that same Narrative focus plus a bit more crunchiness.
So the latest Easter Egg rumour is that this image from the last Daredevil episode shows The Watcher,
with Brad Winderbaum posting "always watching" in his own social media.
Anyway if that really is the Watcher it could indicate that death of Vanessa is going to be a truely signficant event...
So maybe its the spark of Power rather than Lightning but if the lightning rod works the effect will be a cool bit of marketing
and apparently He-Man and the MotU are still popular in Brazil, theyve even gotten exclusive figures (already released) and in the past made their own portugese...

Mattel has erected a gigantic new “He-Man” themed lighting rod in São Paulo in Brazil as part of the promotion for the new Masters of the Universe movie. Measuring 19 feet tall (6 meters high), it holds...
Shade-9 heard the words of concern and guidance from the others behind him, and once more felt that unbidden shift in his logic routines: was this emotion? For a moment the Warforged Stalker paused reassessing his current focus as his systems recalibrated.

Thats a common criticism but also a misinterpretation of the spells.
For example Speak with Dead answers are brief, cryptic and only what the person knew in life - so if the murder victim doesnt know who killed them, they can't tell you anything useful except for clues that you could gather by...
Just a question - Medieval Detective fiction is a thing, like the Cadfael Chronicles or the Crispin Guest mysteries, would you also consider those to be a Hardboiled setting?
I'm also thinking Discworlds Guard Series or the Garret PI series as settings. Tunfaire probably works fairly well...
Gunpowder weapons dates from the 10th century and hand cannons were widespread in China/Vietnam by the 13th Century and reached Europe by the 14th century (earliest documented use is 1326 in Florence)
The Loshult Hand Cannon dates to 1350 and was used by a German Knight.

Spell Sniper Feat and Distant Spell already gets eldritch lance to 1200 ft = a quarter mile
