    What are you reading in 2025?

    I enjoyed all three of these. One more than the others. The Book That Broke The World - book 2 in the Library Trilogy - Mark Lawrence AKA The Consequences of Our Actions in Book One. Loved it; we get more of our heroes doing cool heroic things and we begin to pick apart the time-twisting...

    White Dwarf Reflections #9

    I had Superhero 2044. Like many of the games of it's time, it seems almost more like a notes transcription than a coherent game. I never could figure out how you made a character.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    The Cloak Society by Jeramey Kraatz Nice little Young Adult superhero book - first in a series, the other two are waiting to be read. 12-year-old Alex Knight is a telekinetic metahuman and he is a fourth generation member of the villainous Cloak Society. And make no mistake, they are...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    A friend of mine gave me The Taking (2004) by Dean Koontz. Another terrible stumble, here, and ultimately a complete waste of time. It starts off okay and the first 4/5ths or so of the book is pretty good; lots of interesting stuff there to steal for your alien or post-apocalyptic game...

    You're approached by a Hollywood exec...

    I mean, I'd first say a high-end TV series with Batman and Robin, since we've only ever had one series 50 years ago. Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Jim Gordon, Barbara, etc. Crime drama, Dick's and Bab's hijinks in Gotham Prep, more mystery and organized crime and only a smattering of supervillains...

    + Writing Prompt: Evil Orcs

    The way orcs/goblins/trolls/any giant/goblinoid creature works for my current world is this: These are all the same creature, really, created hundreds of years ago as a slave race by the Imperial Wizard's Guild. Variations in diet and other factors shape the basic template to create the...

    Star Trek and Idealism vs cynicism

    I think any writers you hired to do a procedural Star Trek show would collectively hang themselves after the first episode as they try to deal with all of the throwaway miracle tech that never gets used a second time.

    Online Campaign: "Adventurer's Guild of Exemplary and Legendary Explorers, Scientists and Scholars (AGELESS)"

    OK, I'll get to work on a character sheet. Should I PM that to you, or post it here?

    White Dwarf Reflections #7

    Wow, I loved Pre-Warhammer White Dwarf. Particularly things like (this will be quite some time after this issue) The City League and other articles like it. It was so interesting seeing White Dwarf interior maps looking like real building interiors while TSR was still doing...

    Just saw Delicious in Dungeon

    Super good show. Another similar thing is 'Isekai Izakaya: Japanese Food From Another World' (NOT 'Restaurant To Another World'), very low/no stakes, where half the episode is people eating food, and other other half is a literal live-action cooking show. The restaurant's door sometimes opens...

    Star Trek and Idealism vs cynicism

    I'm the second, then. There's nothing 'apparent' about it; it IS a utopia. Star Trek is at it's best when it follows the assumption that what we think of as 'the basic human condition' can and will change. That we can and will be better and do better.
