I’m given to understand we’re different people. :) I like these threads where people get to share their opinions and not jump on others for being wrong. That said, this is a favorite example of mine in the campaign possibilities of Fate Accelerated, using Batman: Year One as an example...

Since it came up, here’s Thomas Ligotti’s prose poem “Autumnal”:

We were doing that in Over the Edge in 1998, while waiting for Mind’s Eye Theatre sessions to start. Someone I knew claimed to have done it earlier in Theatrix, but their logs showed it was all just Lacanian BS, more or less Zizek avant la lettre.

I turned 60 today. Fair to say that this is not anything like anything I imagined at 15 or 30. Or 45, for that matter.

And in my experience, the most successful campaigns pretty much all go unplanned directions along their way.

Hmm. Separate thoughts, first on designers I’d expect any reasonably fair observer to acknowledge as important trailblazers whether or not the observer happens to personally like the results. At the top of the list, Greg Stafford, whose name here should be set in large type, blood, italic, and...

QuestWorlds or Fate Accelerated for me. They’ve got the kind of flexibility and extensibility I like. Doing it in Ironsworn would be an option for a small group who’d prefer it.

I’d pay for a good Twin Peaks/X-Files crossover.

Unless I’m much mistaken, Verhoeven didn’t write any of these.

Soooo, I’ve got a box of chocolate bunnies A Soldier of Orange and Flesh & Blood here, and they seem an excellent argument for Verhoeven’s writing ability.

The 3e campaign setting, 3e Underdark, and 3e Faiths & Pantheons and 3e City of the Spider Queen in a fight to the death for the third slot.

One for Snarf, and possibly other obsessives:

Always up for some good wholesome urtication.

I recommend them. Particularly the audiobooks, to hear people’s and places’ names right.

Hey’ Dude! Anderson can’t be wrong about his favorite of his movies. Maybe if he said it was also his best, but not as described here.

Post-apocalyptic tales come in (at least) two flavors: 1. The worst began and will continue indefinitely, maybe forever, and only the worst can ever really flourish. 2. The worst happened and things will remain bad a long time, but now people can start choosing better again. The Postman is...

Oh, no. My regular reading diet includes a fair amount of emotionally demanding stuff, both fiction and nonfiction. I am eagerly awaiting the final volume of Christopher Ruocchio’s Sun Eater Saga and am probably going to reread the Book of the Nee Sun soon, but I’m going to get behind with a few...
