Something popped into my head: The Marvel Literary Universe. Imagine classic literary fiction, but with supers. Emily Brontë: Wolverine Heights Fyodor Dostoyevsky: Crime & Punisher George Orwell: Fantastic 1984 William Shakespeare: Much Ado About The Thing Mark Twain: Ultron Sawyer

This opened a mental door! I almost never buy & read fiction I know to be based on RPGs or most “geeky” TV shows or movies. (I do watch some tv & movies based on geeky stories, though.) The only exceptions I can recall: 1) I have read short fiction published in gaming magazines. 2) I bought...

Mine: “Did you get her faun number?” Not mine: “I’ve been killed by worse!”

I started in 77-78, but my collection didn’t expand much beyond D&D, Traveller, and Champions until the early 1990s. At that point, it exploded! By the turn of the century, I owned books from 200 different RPGs. And there it stood for a good decade or so, when I finally divested myself of...

POW! Right in the Jangos!

“I want a great detective! “Shush- we have a great detective at Holmes!”

“Who are you?” “Jeg er Ra!”

2nd thought it’s this show, but played straight:

The RW town in which it’s located is the inspiration for 90% for Stephen King’s writings.

My Brothers in Dice, do you remember the art for D&D 2Ed Legends & Lore’s Egyptian Pantheon?

I have a friend who used to work IT Tech Support calls. One day, he got one that took him hours. He had asked about whether the device was properly plugged in, and it was. He tried everything he knew, and he asked for help from his coworkers and supervisor. Nothing worked. Eventually, he...

I have seen videos of such behavior. They know what they’re doing. Our Maine Coon boyo was a DJ before rap was a thing. We discovered his talent when we were playing an LP and, without warning, the song slooowwwed down, but then resumed normal play. It happened a couple more times before...

I don’t know if it inspired Garth Marenghi, but there’s loads of low-rent horror movies featuring unlikely natural protagonists. And some higher end movies tapped that vein as well, like Ben and Willard.

Puns are Schrodinger’s Comedic Form: both the lowest and the highest, but you don’t know which until the pun is experienced, and its quantum duality collapses.

Our female Maine Coon learned very quickly that she was not allowed to touch tabletops with her paws in ANY way. So she’d sit upright in a chair with her paws hovering just mm above the surface, often lowering them slowly. If you then said “NO PAWS!”, she’d raise them higher…for a while. Her...

“Mission creep” is a thing, without a doubt.

Well, it’s going to take him time to adjust & adapt to the new house, and for you to learn how he signals when he’s in real need of going out. Can’t rush that. While that process is ongoing, you might want to get some pee pads to put near the door. Over the decades, our dogs have had a varied...

Others: The Tick/Blade: I used them as the core of a Brujah vampire in a playtest of GURPS: VtM. In life, he’d been a private detective, but his Embrace by an ancient Brujah had driven him as mad as a Malkavian. He believed his superhuman strength, speed and toughness made him a superhero...
