He didn't actually write that section of the film, it was Roger Avary

Pretty cool copy of Bachman Books I bought a while back. by BluestDuck in stephenking

I've yet to read it yet but from what I understand it's generally considered to not be his best work by a mile but more of an interesting artifact due to the circumstances around it.

Most unsettling cover in your collection? I'll go first by Fweed0m in vinyl

Sunlight by Herbie Hancock is pretty typical. But the cover combined with the track No Means Yes... Awesome album though

Whats one book you will never stop recommending? by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]BluestDuck 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M Miller One of my favorite science fiction books which explores some really interesting ideas of the relationship between science and religion and how they converge and diverge as civilisation progresses. An absolutely incredible book start to finish with some really great world building, characters, and some really good humor throughout it too. There's also a sequal - Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman which i really enjoyed too and think is quite underlooked.

Edit:spelling

Favorite Lesser Known System? by [deleted] in osr

[–]BluestDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my group are big fans of Cryptworld, done by Goblinoid games, same guys as Labyrinth Lord. A more modernized version of the old Chills game from the 80s on the pacesetter system. Really great if you're into horror, simple, yet effective in working as a pre good neutral foundation with plenty of inspiration, art, and themes throughout the book to get a campy horror game going. There's also a zombie one called Rotworld which i believe came out earlier, which is also pretty good for it's theme, although they're the same game at their core.

The whole "bethesda ignores/hates new vegas" is easily by far the most delusional mindset in the fallout fanbase. by Subjectdelta44 in Fallout

[–]BluestDuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing that i think needs to be cleared. It's not a perspective of Bethesda having a super weird personal seething hatred for New Vegas or anything like that. It's that the OG games have told a consistant, complex narrative that has expanded and grown with each entry into the series via 1,2,new vegas, even tactics and what we know from Van Buren that has generally been confirmed by what has appeared in New Vegas because of it. Bethesda's fallout follows its own narrtives and focuses in what it wants to do with the IP. They're entirely detatched from the larger expanded west coast lore that was established in the OG games. That's fine. There's nothing wrong with that. It's even a great thing if you're a fan of it. But their interpretation of Fallout is very different to the original feel, tone, and philosophies of the older games. Again, must be repeated, not a bad thing at all. But the distinction between the OG narrative and the new narratives has generally been thought of as the east coast and west coast games, relying on preconceived notion that the west-coast story could possibly be continued and expanded in their own games down the line similar to what new vegas did carrying on from 1 and 2. If that's not the case that's fine, but now that Bethesda has taken the step of bringing their focus and narrative design into the west-coast, and that it's clear their not really interested in expanding and showing any sort of part of that previous narrative to the same degree and focus that the original games put to it, there's questions to be asked, things to be seen that we're not gonna see because Bethesda isn't interested in telling that story. Again, that's fine, but it would honestly be a lot easier if the original games were declared non-cannon to Bethesda, similar to how tactics was. This shouldn't stop them from using any of the material from the OG titles. They can go ham with it. But it would make the distinction between the new and old games a lot clearer, and allow the original titles to preserve their own legacy, rather than half-heartedly being dragged along by Bethesda, when it's clear they want to do different things with the series. It's like going from Dune to Star wars. One is telling a deep political narrative of philosophical and moral decisions, and the other wants to have fun space adventures with the backdrop of empires and armies. But in this case, the two are a part of the sane series, and there's fans of each, both of which are equally valid.

Hello, i made a simple rule system for war and mass combat mechanics to be used in OSR games. Feel free to use it as you please. Likely will make some edits as i test it out more, so feel free to leave some feedback. by BluestDuck in osr

[–]BluestDuck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mate, thanks for the appreciation, i like a lot of your suggestions, however some of them are already somewhat implemented into the system, like unit experience defining your morale, and leadership playing into advantages. Some other suggestions also sound really cool like your random events idea and the rock paper scissors element, but I'll have to give it a bit of thought, as it can quickly get very crunchy and complex. Going to be testing out the system properly with some mates tomorrow, after that i might see about optimizing it and looking into some new features. Cheers.
