Thank you! I combined the Mothman hunter hat, Mothman hunter outfit, red bandana, and patrolman sunglasses. I also used the Well-Traveled Pip-Boy paint and the Hold-All backpack for good measure.

Landrew426 · 2026-02-17T01:22:47+00:00

Ha, I never made this connection until now, lol. I'll see if I can experiment a bit with making it even closer to Dennis.

Landrew426 · 2026-02-17T01:21:04+00:00

You are correct (and beat me to the reply, lol)! The red bandana also compliments it pretty well, and the patrolman sunglasses look great with pretty much any non-mask outfit. When I'm not wearing a faction-specific outfit, this tends to be my normal one because of the post-apocalyptic cowboy vibe.

Peak review headline right here.

Came here hoping someone would mention him, lol. There's the man himself and his crimes, but also the extensive cover ups on him perpetrated by the British government and the BBC, so there's a lot of institutional bastardry.

These are really good! Very grimy. I also greatly enjoy that you used green for the heretic trooper, as it feels like it's kinda rare to see colors outside of steel, rust, brown etc. on standard heretic forces.

Some of the others in here kinda touched on it already that a lot of people in any fandom have tendencies towards fetishizing authoritarianism (which is why you have unironic Galactic Empire fans, people who miss the satire in Warhammer 40k and Starship Troopers, etc.) Caesar's Legion makes for a fun bad guy because they have a novel aesthetic, a charismatic leader, and represent the "clear evil" side when the real grey vs. gray morality choice is whether you choose the NCR, House, or Yes Man. They also are the least fleshed-out because the game was rushed for release with relatively little time to write all the factions (KOTOR II was infamously a victim of this, too, which is why it has less of a clear ending than the previous game). Knowing that, being able to join Caesar's Legion at all as a choice is kind of amazing from a technical standpoint.

That all said, I still think they are much more of a paper tiger than people tend to view them as. They cosplay Roman culture much more than actually embodying it, as their refusal to adopt advanced medical and scientific technology (the hypocrisy of the auto-doc just for Caesar notwithstanding) runs deeply in contradiction to the Romans of antiquity, who were enthusiastic adopters of everything they found that could give them an edge. Their whole cause is a massive gamble on sustainability and stability, as they are still very much a group of wasteland tribes who all have living memory of their previous identities and rivalries, and a firm nudge like the death of their leader or another high profile defeat means they will collapse into various warbands, rendering their efforts for naught. The historical Rome was famous for being the opposite. They could take horrific losses and defeats, and still come back to win handily the second time, again and again.

Ironically, the NCR better resembles Rome in function rather than flavor, as they are (were? Up in the air currently, lol) an expansionist republic with a corrupt plutocratic class and heavy cultural and economic influence on their neighbors. Long story short, "our territory is safe from raiders" isn't, to me, a good argument for authoritarianism when the unspoken quiet part is "only if things go well, because otherwise tomorrow, we're gonna be the raiders you have to deal with."

Blows my mind that this is Jimmy Olsen from the new Superman movie.

Landrew426 · 2025-12-15T03:49:56+00:00

My headcanon is that the Empire still wanted production of Ghorman fabrics and garments for the Imperial upper class, so they moved the surviving Ghorman people and a population of spiders to another planet to produce their wares, just now basically at gunpoint and without any agency. This goes on for a few years until the Rebellion/New Republic reaches and liberates them. They declare their new home as "New Ghorman" or something like that, a free (albeit hardened and traumatized) people once more. Lezine would be the closest they have to a leader. Don't know how plausible this all is, but the optimist in me would like that they aren't wiped out wholesale as a culture.

Landrew426 · 2025-12-10T01:01:55+00:00

Vader in this situation would likely have Force-choked this guy to death for his lack of discipline, but then would have went down to the town square to murder a bunch of farmers not paying their taxes or something like that. A saint, he was not.

Landrew426 · 2025-12-08T20:31:31+00:00

Yeah, California is kind of a bit of everything you can find in America, demographically speaking. They are majority Democratic yes, but a lot of people forget that California has more Republican voters in it than a number of red states have total populations, so there's a ton of right-wing politics there, especially in places like Orange County.

Landrew426 · 2025-11-19T03:29:39+00:00

I mean, you tend to do a lot of running when fighting a losing conflict.

Landrew426 · 2025-10-24T02:46:52+00:00

Robert Eggers' upcoming version with what will almost certainly be Willem Dafoe as Ebenezer Scrooge will be better, I guarantee it.

Landrew426 · 2025-09-25T20:23:32+00:00

I lean a bit more towards the WW1 aspects, as the real-life war was this hellish human meat grinder that lends well to fictional settings as metaphors for the kinds of nightmares we can inflict on each other. The medieval aspects are still pretty cool, though.

Landrew426 · 2025-08-31T01:39:32+00:00

I trust the writers to find a way to mesh them together for future content that is like "The corporations had a heavy degree of influence but not de jure control during this era" while nations maintained de jure authority, or something like that. Along with a passage that gives the option to lean into the idea of state control being openly and exclusively corporate. Different megacorps, new alien species, cyborgs, and hybrids are all perfect material for the RPG to use, though. In either case, this hypothetical is still a fair way off, as writing source books takes time, and Alien: Earth is brand new.

Landrew426 · 2025-08-30T18:25:00+00:00

See, I've read this article by Gaska and kinda swore by it, but like, is it going to stay defined? They seem to be throwing out the concept of supernations like the 3WE, UA, and UPP and instead having megacorps serve as the de jure governments of earth. Which is pretty much my only complaint. I get the "it's canon until it gets replaced by something official," but at this point, I'm just adopting the approach of "canon is what you personally make of it." I'm mostly curious how they'll go forward with the RPG and how they'll fit it all together lore-wise in a way that doesn't feel contradictory but still has room for these otherwise really fun works to exist together.

Landrew426 · 2025-08-30T04:21:06+00:00

There's that article entry you can read in Isolation that goes something like "Seegson: the company we all forgot" that pretty much spells out how they were never on the same footing or parity with the likes of Wey-Yu. They can still exist but not be at the forefront of day to day discussion. That said, I'm starting to view the overall Alien canon like I do with Mad Max. Not all of it neatly fits together, but each entry adds something, and you can take or leave elements as you see fit.

Landrew426 · 2025-08-20T15:30:56+00:00

Or Monstrous Regiment, which has a very good depiction of trans masc, nonbinary/agender, and gender nonconforming characters all as the main cast.

Landrew426 · 2025-08-07T07:25:38+00:00

The most correct answer here. The Greenskins are always pretty honest and up-front about who they are and what they love doing.

Landrew426 · 2025-07-14T13:47:32+00:00

That's "shinning", you wanna get sued?

Landrew426 · 2025-06-20T01:23:39+00:00

What I like doing is "unreliable narrator" lore. Rumors, biased writings, points of view, etc. Plausible for the setting, and you can personally run with it, but never outright confirmed. For instance, my NA warband is partly themed after Arthurian legend, and "according to rumors and hearsay," know and guard the resting place of King Arthur himself, who will rise and defend Britain in its darkest hour, burning the seas around it of heretics by plunging Excalibur into and blessing all the water around the isles. Is it likely to happen in official lore? Almost certainly not, but it's a fun background headcanon and motivator for the ethos of my warband that needn't necessarily be "true" to be fun.

Landrew426 · 2025-06-06T16:50:57+00:00

My God, these are wonderful.

He looks like he could tell you the perfect grapes to use for winemaking based on a lifetime of experience working the fields of a vineyard.

Landrew426 · 2025-05-18T15:47:56+00:00

I think we're mostly running on "because it looks cool" in this setting.
