No idea. You said the “big 5 publishers” and I assumed that was RPG publishers.

Is AI the reason WotC’s output is now purely bland garbage?

Agreed completely on Winter Soldier. It's the only MCU movie I ever go back and watch.

Bold of you to assume geeks date.

Whole reason I bought Cataclysm of Kang was because it was on the shelf at Walmart (I don't have a local game store). Same reason I bought a bunch of 5e stuff before I quit playing.

If it's in a specific setting, like Marvel, that's the fun of it, IMO. I'd always push my players to take that next step to tie into canon...but when I made use of Marvel as a setting, I made HEAVY use of it. Guy runs a small tech company? Maybe he used to work for Tony Stark, left during one...

I should note that it even addresses whether you choose to use the same characters all the way through or pick/create new characters for each adventure. This is relevant because each of the six adventures are for a different rank, so you can start off as, say, Rank 1 SHIELD Agents and wind up as...

That's what I'm doing now (the reading part). It's...a lot better than I expected. It's written so all 6 parts of the adventure can be used individually or in a campaign, each adventure addresses what happens if the heroes win or lose each scenario, so there's not even an assumption of "this...

Oh, running it will take longer than that. There's 6 adventures and they don't expect that any are playable in one session.

Feels like a mic drop moment.

Will definitely share! I actually have my holiday break from work coming up...so I do. :wink:

I'm probably going to regret it, but I just impulse purchased The Cataclysm of Kang at Walmart because it was only about $35 and not $50. Thumbed through it - not fully read it - and considering running it...but it will almost certainly be with either Savage Worlds, ICONs, or - maybe - Marvel...

Ultimately the big thing for me is does it make sense? Yeah, if you're playing a big, mean, ugly, uncharismatic goof and you want to sweet talk someone? I probably don't care how well you give the speech...you're trying to game the system in a way opposed to the very character you opted to...

Real Jackson IS a Nosferatu, turned his superfan impersonator, and cut him loose. I realize nosferatu are only supposed to be grotesque monsters and Jackson was pure nightmare fuel, but it still works.

1994's around the time of his first pedo accusations, you know.

Personal enemy: Deranged Lisa Marie Presley superfan who blames Michael Jackson for stealing the love of his life and has zeroed in on "Jackson" in New Orleans in 1994.

I feel like Drew Barrymore in Scream. It's a dream come true.

Can I at least die in the cold open?

In fairness (to your first sentence only…on my phone and too lazy to delete the rest), I’ve seen the phrase “preorder on Kickstarter” many times from people/companies running Kickstarters. For the rest? Yeah, that’s crappy.

So almost an omnibus approach. Interesting.
