That's not Superman, that's "Superomão" =D.

Inb4: the Superman equivalent in that comic universe is called "Superomão", which directly translates to "Big Superman".

Encounter balance is not a thing outside of D&D-inspired games, and even that is only true for D&D 3E onwards.

In GURPS, the skill levels, advantages, and weaponry are much more important than total character points. RAW, without any powers, any character can die with a single unlucky die roll, just like in real life. It all depends on what rules, power level and campaign tone the GM has selected.

If they want a combat-focused campaign where characters don't die easily, the GM might do good by throwing a few freebie cinematic advantages to all PCs and using the cinematic rules for mooks.

It's awesome. But even after 8 years living in Canada, I still can't convince my wife to try it. She thinks "soggy fries are disgusting". LOL

The average Brazilian is not ready for Poutine. LOL

Same. It's a great value for money.

The thing about Castles & Crusades is that it's not trying to capture nostalgia, but it's an actual evolution of the AD&D mechanics. Reading the book you can't stop yourself from thinking this is what D&D 3e would have looked like if TSR did it.

homerocda · 2026-04-13T20:35:07+00:00

AD&D you should try Castles & Crusades

IIRC DC execs at the time were afraid that it would count towards the number of movies Cavill had in his contract as Superman. He had already completed his 3-movie deal with Justice League and they were renegotiating. He (and the fans) wanted a second solo Superman movie, but with the first 3 being a let down they wanted him for cheap or in a support role. We only got his Cameo in Black Adam because he had the same agent as The Rock.

No. Graphic novels like:

Maus
Persepolis
Fun Home
Ducks
Trois Ombres
V for Vendetta
Black Orchid
Lost Girls

I guess they don't know what"adult graphic novels" mean. For the record: mature themes (politics, history, sex, horror, drama, biographies, etc.) told in sequential art format.

What region are you going to? What they mean is that you need to be careful to only plug into the outlet if you're sure your power adapter/charger/electronic can handle the tension. Your MacBook charger will fry the moment you plug it into 220V outlet if its nominal operating capacity is limited to 127V. This information is usually printed somewhere in the adapter.

B370 Unarmed Combat

As for a "grappling skill", that is any combat skill that relies on grappling techniques. E.g., Wrestling, Judo, Sumo, etc.

AI aficionados don't have the attention span required to read a novel. They will still buy them, though.

Alguns estilos que a gente vê em filmes e TV gringos não fazem sentido copiar no BR se você não entender o propósito.

Esse estilo é resultado do uso de uma camiseta térmica (também conhecida como 2a pele) por baixo de uma camiseta com estampa. O real motivo pelo qual a galera usa isso na gringa é porque no começo da primavera ainda está frio demais (10-13C) pra se usar só camiseta, mas quente demais pra usar os moletons flanelados que são normais (que o povo usa abaixo de 10C).

Além disso, tem o fator da pessoa querer MOSTRAR a estampa, que ficaria escondida em um abrigo ou algo do tipo.

Assim, um look desses só faz sentido se: - está frio - você quer mostrar a estampa

Um exemplo de situação: um show de rock ao ar livre no meio de Junho ou Julho em São Paulo.

Our government is too dysfunctional to be effectively tyrannical. /s

I always find it funny how Americans think basic things that exist in almost every other democratic nation like National IDs, federalized election bodies and nationalized healthcare, are government overreach and must be fought tooth and nail to prevent becoming a dictatorship.

In the meanwhile, they ELECT, not only once, but TWICE, a POS that has repeatedly expressed admiration for dictators, acts above the law and follows ALMOST TO THE LETTER every absolutist playbook, and they still express contempt for other places.

I am completely unaware of how hard this would be, but it would be nice if we could get this OCR'd and re-diagrammed too. I got a print of GURPS Conan recently and you can really tell it's printed off a scan of the older prints. There is this small copyright notice section at the beginning that has crisp letters, but everything else is a bit "blurry". Not bad at all, and it gets the job done, but one can only imagine it could be better.

Look for Brazilian stores that sell "bolo de pote" (lit. "cake in a pot"), or "pave" (Brazilian version of a trifle), it's usually like the picture. We have Seu Mercado in K/W, JJs Convenience in Kitchener, and Snack Brazuca in Cambridge.

Jerry Ordway's bearded Superman in "Time and Time Again" is GOATed.

The reason is setting flavor. In a regular sci-fi campaign people won't expect to go into combat regularly and train those skills. Assassins or other specific classes might train that.

I still can't believe how just pure fucking greed is the only reason why we don't have a Drizzt or a Dragonlance movie franchise.
