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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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

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...

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...

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.

Harkens back to the days of They Sue Regularly. I wonder if by now they have any cash to actually pay a lawyer to do anything except email boilerplate.

Red Sonja - Consumed - by Gail Simone Acclaimed comics writer Gail Simone's first prose book. Liked it; liked it a lot. It's what you want from Red Sonja, which is what I'd expect from someone who's written her in comic form before. She shows up, bad decisions and chaos ensue, darkness is put to...

The 'everyone can go to wizard school' idea is a bit silly;' it's like saying everyone can just be a successful CEO or get an PhD in Aerospace Engineering. 'Going to wizard school' should be like pursuing a degree in high-level theoretical physics - a vanishing small percentage of the population...

I do not since I don't know if I'm in the game or not, or if the background is acceptable. A major question that didn't occur to me until now is what level would I be coming in at?
