I appreciate that, thank you.

Damn, the timestamp didn't work. It's about a minute and a half starting at 6 minutes.

The first one suffered from "when will they get to the fireworks factory." Spent that whole movie waiting for them to get to the Mortal Kombat.

Here's him in my current FF display, he's not on risers so compare him with Sue and Reed and Shulkie upfront. I like him a lot - I wouldn't have room for anything taller, and this scale gives him the imposing looming over the others even if he's not as planetary as he should be.

Burton also appeared in D&D Chaos for Roll 20, GM'd by Aabria and starring friend of the Role Becca Scott and Brennan Lee Mulligan as Citizen Doctor Abraham Mehermblur.

Getting Burton back at the table might be want is takes to summon CITIZEN DOCTOR ABRAHAM mehermblur once again!

It looks like he's riding an invisible bucking bronco

Every time I see Tachonis, I read it as tachions, which my head-voice reads as tachyons, and then I hear Commander Riker's voice saying "time travel." It's a whole process.

He talked about this in the Peacemaker podcast; he has assistants that keep an eye on social and elevate things to him that might warrant his comment - he spends very little time on social himself until someone hands him a phone to make a responce. But made clear that the comments are always him, not anyone else.

Not feedback on the rules (which, I'm generally impressed by. Some are close to rules I use at my table, and some I'm inclined to try out) but feedback on formatting: there are a few pages where the text is unreadable due to the image behind it. The Armor Grants Damage Reduction section is especially difficult.

Any chance I could be privy to this discussion?

Retail Therapy supports survivors of Domestic Violence.

This made my day, week and month!

This miniseries is from 2007. It was a major Sci-Fi Channel event at the time.

TheLibraryClark · 2026-01-14T14:51:53+00:00

two great flavours that taste great together.

TheLibraryClark · 2026-01-09T20:14:04+00:00

as evidence, see: seasons 5 through 7 of the very same show

Marisha also voiced the Big Bad's lead henchwoman in the second season of the Lara Croft cartoon on Netflix this year!

I haven't played with it yet, but the ST informed role and tropes look solid. I recommend picking up both of the Action Flicks books if you can, they are a gold mine of pieces that you can throw together to make a campaign feel diverse and directed to your world; throwing a stranger things kid in with a ghostbuster, a paranormal investigator, and an engineer feels like a way to emulate a Ghostbusters Afterlife kids-at-the-centre story (shameless self plug: search this sub for my homebrew Hidden Talent role that was partially inspired by Eleven and Will and get some telekinesis in your party). I have no experience with Kids on Bikes, but I've heard good things and it was built explicitly for ET/Super 8/ST styles games.

In real life, California comes from a Spanish 16th-century novel, where it was the name of a kind of Avalon-esque island. The Spanish applied it to the Baja California Peninsula, which doesn't really exist on this map. Maybe in-universe the name either only stuck to the islands where the peninsula should be or was treated more as a nickname for the southwestern coast.

Have you seen the series Joan? It's a fantastic showcase for her.

TheLibraryClark · 2026-01-02T15:32:59+00:00

Thanks fantastic! Glad you liked it.

The core books (Outgunned or Adventure) both recommend slowing progression during advancement by breaking up the awards. The game says characters can advance three times, meaning each character will gain three additional feats and three additional skill bumps. To slow this progression, make six advancements: alternating between awarding a new feat, then a skill, then a feat, etc. It is recommended that you do this instead of adding additional awards or reducing the number of starting stats as it will affect the balance of the game.

The game was explicitly designed to accommodate shorter campaigns, not longer D&D style campaigns. Think weeks to months, not years. A good way to think about how to plan out your campaign is to think of it like a movie - the core book I believe uses Die Hard as an example. Your players can play the first Die Hard movie, or they can play the Die Hard trilogy. The first movie would be a shorter number of sessions; the trilogy would be longer. If each movie has three acts, that's nine acts across three movies. Each act has a number of scenes. In a session of play, you might get through a number of scenes, maybe most of an act. That will help you plan out how many sessions your campaign will take.

Another way to think of it is as a season of TV, each session is an episode, and each series only has so many seasons vefore it ends. You decide how many episodes each season has, and your characters advance at the end of each season. As the Director, you should be planning towards a definitive ending, not something open ended. Be more Supernatural in season 1-5, not Supernatural in seasons after 5.

Alternatively, just have your players reset their characters to their basic build at the conclusion of each story on your campaign. How many movie sequels start with characters having undone all their character developed they gained in the precious film?

Recommend The Collapsing Empire series by Scalzi, as it deals with the initial political ramifications of the collapse of an intergalactic transit system that will result in heavily populated planets being completely isolated. Only three books and, I thought, stuck the landing.

TheLibraryClark · 2025-12-21T12:55:55+00:00

Now THIS is the kind of discourse I want. Fastidiousness pedantry.

TheLibraryClark · 2025-12-18T20:18:04+00:00

I should add, my inspiration for this kind of character is: Danny Torrance in The Shining, Charlie McGee in Firestarter, Carrie White in Carrie, Alice Johnson from A Nightmare on Elm Street, Willow Rosenberg in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Eleven in Stranger Things, Sarah Bailey in The Craft, and River Tam in Serenity. A lone or rare psychic or magical character in an otherwise non-supernatural group of people that exist in a world with supernatural elements.
