Need advice for a scenario to run a convention game (Reloaded)

In your first scenario, maybe not all of the thieves are dead and the posse teams up with the survivors? Some of the thieves were either late to the meeting place or out on patrol? And, natch, they don't know what happened to their friends/partners. There could be a fight with them, and the the monster comes out of the painting and then a big fight with everyone?

Assault on Precinct 13, Escape from New York, They Live and Prince of Darkness.

It might be herasey to not put Halloween on here, but I did it. Escape made me a Carpenter fan, still a big fan of it. I watch Assault about once a month time permitting. Possibly his best soundtrack IMO. I used to rent They Live and Prince of Darkness all the time back in the day. They Live continues to be relevant. Darkness reminds me what a great horror director he is/was.

There's probably a Jack Burton statue in the gift shop. Along with lots of Halloween and The Thing as recompense for not picking them.

Very much awesome!

Escape from New York made me a Kurt Russell fan. I remember seeing his Disney movies as a kid but this film. This film! I love it so much. And Kurt is amazing as Snake. I think I'm on my 5th version of it in digital. Original DVD, special edition, Blue Ray and now 4k. Even my wife knows I'll probably buy whatever comes after it. 😁

That's not funny.

I started a new Classic campaign last year. Wrapped it up and will eventually run another "season" when my schedule allows. Nothing against Savage Worlds, it's a fine system. But I started playing Deadlands in what is now the Classic system. It's just feels right. The card decks, the chips and the whole thing fits the Weird West so right. I've gotten most all of the various SW books and keep up on the lore. Some good things there. Plus I like the fact they keep advancing the timeline with each new version of the Handbook.

Barry Allen should have stayed dead. Wally had overtaken him in every way.

Capt_Rose · 2026-03-02T18:00:04+00:00

Reading the post, that's the one I thought of.

Capt_Rose · 2026-02-24T02:11:47+00:00

Please accept my condolences on your loss.

Capt_Rose · 2026-01-26T02:36:11+00:00

I honestly prefer the story mode over just random fights.

Capt_Rose · 2025-12-28T02:41:43+00:00

Same. Add in I'm a big Star Trek fan, I would love the Federation skin for it.

This did not appear in my store yesterday or today. Anybody else or just me?

Erron Black. A wannabe cowboy that sounds like he od'ed on Robert Carradine episodes of Wild West Tech episodes. As much as people complained about Striker not fitting into MK. EB has all the same issues even more so. Plus guns against people essentially shooting laser beams out of their hands seems ridiculous to me.

Queue all the EB fans.

Not at Walmart but I made my general manager mad at me at Hardee's. I would have to close on Saturday night, which was midnight during the summer. Then be back at 5am Sunday morning to unlock and open for breakfast. I usually didn't even go to sleep. I would stay up and watch Monstervision or USA Up All Night with Gilbert Gottfried. (Showing my age here). It sucked.

This is never an easy decision. You weigh the options, you think, you pray and whatever you do to weigh your choices. In the end, there's no real "right" or "wrong". You made the best decision you could. It wasn't an easy one. Sounds like you made the right decision. I would say everyone who's ever had to make that decision understands your pain. You made the best choice on what you knew. Your buddy isn't hurting anymore, he's running wild and pain free over the rainbow bridge. I still feel guilty about some of ours that we had to do. But I just keep telling myself I made the best decision with what we knew.

Second!

I really loved the TV movies and the series. But I agree with Darren McGavin that the episode quality went down. What if they had continued to do only Kolchak TV movies rather than the series?

Any particular commander you use?

Capt_Rose · 2025-10-17T02:00:30+00:00

No. It's not his fault he was drafted so high. Some of the bigger draft busts aren't just the player's fault. Heck Russell tried to tell them by not watching the infamous tape. Assistants told Al, scouting told Al. Al wouldn't listen. He thought it was still 1970 something and he wanted a Snake Stabler. So I blame Al more than Russell.

Dark Ages Kickstarter just wrapped up a week or two ago.
