My position exactly. My list of 80s “would plays” is long.

Magneto is one of those villains/anti-heroes who made accurate observations to justify actions that might be questionable or ill/advised, if not outright evil themselves. So the “they” are those- mostly other mutants- who opposed him. The thing is, he wasn’t being opposed for his beliefs...

Waaaay back, I created a LN shaman/necromancer based on the practices of voodoo. There were elements of capoeira, escrima and musical ability woven into him. Wee Jas was one of the deities I was considering as his god, but I can’t remember that particular detail with any clarity.

Need some travel bans to really do that right.

Thing is, if you look across the whole superhero comics industry, limiting a campaign to “all mutants” doesn’t necessarily stop all or even most various “cool” character types. Different writers, titles, and companies have created all kinds of mutants. For instance, most Marvel mutants are...

It has potential, NGL. After ST:NG, I always wanted to see something superficially similar- a series focused on Star Fleet Academy. First of all, much like the episode featuring a young Tom Paris, you could “test run” characters for roles in other Trek properties Second, while the main...

I did use a ship that sailed across dimensions as a base in one campaign- thank you, Michael Moorcock. It worked pretty well.

Mod Note: Let’s not compare real world faiths with game mechanics for the supernatural. It’s also not exactly polite to dismiss religious beliefs as myth, especially in such a facetious manner. It’s inherently disrespectful towards people’s faith, and that’s disruptive of civil discourse on...

The thing that amuses me is that I loved the basic setting May came up with- with some of the things you noted- but I didn’t particularly care for the series itself and didn’t finish reading it. But it always struck me as a setting ripe with adventure hooks for an RPG.

No, I understood instantly.👍🏽 And I’ve had to point out incidences of 1488 to others, like on a topographical map on the wall of Black Rifle Coffee. And no, it’s not a coincidence- there’s nothing approaching that elevation in the area, so it’s a dog whistle hiding in plain sight.

Didn’t know about those.

In particular, The Armor Wars story arc.

Ummmm…

My usual suspects: Ben Bova’s Grand Tour Harry Turtledove’s Darkness saga Kurt R. A. Giambastiani’s Cloudfall Kathrine Rusch’s Retrieval Artist Julian May’s Pleistocene Exile saga David Brin’s Uplift saga Clive Barker’s Imajica Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere C. J. Cherryh’s Foreigner (Admittedly...

Mod Note: Looks like there’s no legal PDFs out there for this product, and there’s a policy against advocating piracy here. None I can find, anyway. Please don’t do that again. Thanks.

Michael Antunes has died. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/articles/beloved-80s-rock-star-dies-213535749.html

Ator, the Fighting Eagle! Yor: Hunter from the Future! 🤪 More seriously, a Logan’s Run RPG (or sourcebook for an existing game) could be good.

Based on the SFX, that looks like a show that could air on The CW. Not a critique; an observation.

Were I GMing a PC like that, I’d allow it, with the caveat that the more regularly they started using it, the more inclined I’d be to make them have to buy that reduction off in part or entirely. IOW, following the spirit of the rule that a character who “loots” gear from an NPC eventually has...
