Gotham and Metropolis are fictional megacities that take their inspiration primarily from New York. Gotham also has influences from Chicago and London. Gotham is named after "the wise men of Gotham" a legend wherein the men of Gotham village (Nottinghamshire) feigned idiocy to dissuade King...

and Metropolis is in Delaware

Storm led Fido - a reference to Sutekh? Drifted Looms - a reference to Lungbarrow?

yeah it was see Sam Wilson in Louisiana and Shang-Chi and San Fran a few more location outside NYC would be nice. I'm not sure I like the premise of this story - clever black girl gets caught up in a criminal gang and has to fight to escape the downward spiral. I would have like to see more...

The Darkforce and Zero Matter energy have both been used in MCU - as has reference to the Dark Dimension (the home of Dormammu ie Hell (so I'm assuming HellDrivers uncle was possesse by it). Dark Matter originates in the Dark Dimension and Cloaks Cloak is made of the stuff

Roxxon and dark matter featured in Agent Carter too, via Madam Masque. You could set a long backstory for Nightmare and Roxxon being active since the 1940s linking Agent Carter, Cloack and Digger and Sentry The Blips 5 years at least has the benefit of those affected having no memory and just...

Just saw it today, enjoyed it a lot. Thought the set up of them trying to kill each other was a bit contrieved or at least cliche. I understand why they killed Taskmaster but think she should have got one more scene before she got killed off (maybe after the escape) I agree exploration of...

I find that Persuasion, Insight, Investigation, History and Language Proficiency are all pretty sufficient for Mercantile pursuits in game, the only thing that might be needed is a Logistics skill for the actual handling and shipping of cargoes between markets (unless you actually play that out)...

Who is the woman with the spinning blade fingers fighting for Lex? Is she the 'main' threat? (besides Lex)

I use an 18th century (1700s) setting and the skills cover it pretty well, the only real gap you might have is Engineering (Steampunk) You may want to have Ettiquette (High society) as a feat that gives expertise to Persuasion and History checks rename Nature to Science rename Arcana to...

Frodo is a Warlock, Folk Hero background He gets greater invisibility, limited clairvoyance, frightful presence and protection from undead, but the cursed ring corrupts his soul (Wis save on every use). Failure leads to fear being internalised to paranoia, hallucinations and obsession

Yeah I dunno if Macbeth or the White Lady make for good PCs, Macbeths more the villain and the White Lady an NPC. Sir John Moore would be a good option though

Warhammer Fantasy?

Is Folk hero still a background in 2024? Is it the Farmer now? Folk hero was the commoner who had a defining moment where they stood their ground and fought off the ogre despite having no training - he becomes a fighter. Jack who sneaks into the giants castle then cuts down the beanstalk...

You can just give a chatacter a background and no class abilities to represent commoners. Giving background feats was nice, limiting the number of backgrounds was dumb

I prefer keeping the attack roll and abandoning damage (just go to hits) simply because it keeps the focus on building PC skill and not on getting bigger weapons - weapons shouldnt matter, a skilled fighter can kill you just as easily with a knife as with giant battle axe

yeah I had a crush on Pheobe Cates for my teenage years too :) but more relevantly I'm reminded of the "father died climbing down the chimney" speech in Gremlins - the image of santa with a broken neck rotting in a chimney stuck with me for a long time afterwards, its the most horrifying part of...

“The Higgs boson? Think of it as the ripple caused when the Loom of Reality is distorted by its weave. A brief distortion in the veil that reveals how form takes hold of the formless. All things begin in boundless radiance, like the light of stars, but in this material realm that divine fire...

The original Schrek version of Nosferatu, screened at a late night film festival - the combination of being silent and its use of shadows was really evocative and the scene on the ship where Orlok rises from his grave was really startling - it is my favourite horror movie (I dont watch much...

yeah James Gasiks reference to Martha in Last of the Timelords showed me that I was conflating that with the Big Bang - my mistake indeed! - it doesnt change my point about the Doctor as virtual god powered by narrativium though
