The name is a pun, but I'm not sure what to do with it. Ideas?

It's not fully fleshed out, but maybe it'll be useful. Loading Google Docs

I've played a few L5R campaigns, all custom-designed, though, nothing published. The setting is delightful, and the cultural tension of having to operate as a member of a family and clan that will suffer consequences if you do stuff that's dishonorable creates interesting play dynamics. But the...

Guardians 3 absolutely has arcs. Rocket in particular. Quill letting go of Gamora. General bonding among the group. It's why it's the only really great phase 4 film, aside from Shang Chi. I agree Ant Man 3 and Doctor Strange 2 barely have any character arcs. Marvels has a bit with the trio...

What are you planning to do now, after ten years with the same campaign? I'm always curious what NPCs players liked and why, and moments that were most meaningful for their characters. And I've never specifically asked this, but I wonder how people would articulate what they thought was the...

The issue is that Sam Wilson has no character arc in this movie.

Congratulations! Are you up for answering some of the typical questions, like, favorite adventure or scene? Biggest divergence you made?

I hardly understand the earth zodiac. Would you need to map the paths of the various planets, and invent a few constellations and devise the meaning of various conjunctions?

Screw it: let's have BattleTech on the big screen. Have five different movies involving different factions, then have your 'Avengers' crossover with the Fourth Succession War.

The gimmick was the players were a group of pirates trying to raid the Whoville Arms Factory to steal its new tech. They struck after the great party the staff held on Christmas Eve, so most of the defenders were drunk or asleep. I was a bit too ambitious in what I planned for a one-shot (two...

My birthday is Christmas Even. I got some friends to agree to try out BattleTech for a one-shot as my birthday gift. This was a mech I painted for the game.

I just got the latest BT novel Voidbreaker, and I gave up a hundred pages in. It just wasn't grabbing me. The main character had no personality. She was just a vessel for plot. And that plot was plodding. Too much pondering and planning, which could work if it was balanced with character...

That sounds awful. Are you safe now?

Forging a long-term relationship is more valuable than short term losses. Morgan represents a massive global operation trying to get a foothold in Flint, and helping the constables root out the Kell Guild will lead to more long-term profits. Plus, Morgan is, at his heart, sincerely devout to his...

Then I will not explain why I'm boycotting.

Yes, the movie looks promising, but here's the thing.

This does not bother me, but to be fair, I've never touched a Fantastic Four comic nor seen any of the movies. Apparently the Silver Surfer is important. I frankly think the whole premise of a giant dude who eats planets who has a shiny guy as his herald or whatever sounds pretty silly, and...

My answer? I think diverse representation matters more than fidelity to unimportant elements of source material. The MCU leads have been more white, male, and American than the per capita rate of that group among the human race. Yeah, the films are adaptations of comics that were often made by...
