Last several things I read: The White Ribbon and the Heart of the Night (The Signalverse) -- Nelson, Blake Michael - Nice sequel the previous White Ribbon book Cave 13 (Rogue Team International Series, 3) - Maberry, Jonathan - Excellent as always Saevus Corax Deals With the Dead (The Corax...

In general, in RPG's, I intensely dislike them because very, very seldom are they actually riddles - usually they are word games or manipulation puzzles of some sort.

We buy insurance. Hilarity Ensued.

Given all the turmoil in the Marvel camp right now, doing a major release like this in 18 months seems... unlikely. I hope we don't get another thing hyper-rushed into production because We Must Have Product In Quarter X.

I'll vote Tyler, but Brandon Routh was completely robbed of what should have been a career playing the Man of Steel by a shoddy script and an incompetent, distracted director.

Pattison. Did not like any of the others, either as Batman or Bruce Wayne though I have a special sentimental spot for Adam West. 'The Batman' has so far been the only live action Batman I've liked, despite my problems with a few minor things. Add a good Robin and maybe I'll get a decent Batman...

The White Ribbon Runs the Red Lights - Blake Michael Nelson - Part of his Signalverse series of short superhero novels. I saw a recommendation for this series from Lawrence Watt Evans and decided to check it out. This book appealed to me most, so I picked it up - most of the books are...

The Mote in God's Eye, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. Classic sci-fi era meets modern sci-fi, military adventurism, first-contact, space mystery - this has it all.

i was 15/16-ish. 1977.

Finished up The Traitor, the last book in The Covenant of Steel by Anthony Ryan. One of the best fantasy series I've read in many years. Low-magic grim and gritty war story.

Been a big hurdle for me as well, which is one reason to never, ever find out anything about any creative's personal life :) After the Sad Puppies business - whereupon he took a giant messy crap in someone else's living room and expected people to thank him for it - and his various screeds, I...

The Grace of Kings (Dandelion Dynasty, The) by Ken Liu (Author) - #1 in the four book Dandelion Dynasty series. Very good book, and I would say that the first book does an excellent job of being a stand-alone book as well, in case getting into a four-book (and these are not small books)...

The vast majority of Appendix N was written before 1970. Gygax's personal taste shouldn't be the baseline.

The first LGBT+ representation I can remember seeing is in Chaosium's adventure At Your Door (1990), set in modern day Not-San-Francisco. One of the lawyers you encounter has a young man as his live-in, and in the side-adventures, the two Wiccan dudes are described as 'discrete lovers'.

The current Nightwing series is a delight. Nightwing 1: Leaping into the Light is where I'd start. Word's Finest and it's soon-to-be-out companion Teen Titans book are set in the 'recent past' where Dick is still Robin, and Batman and Superman are best buddies.

Interesting that alignment is such a big discussion point. Chuck it entirely.
