    Great Comicbook Art Thread

    Nope, I mean "bucket head" Nova, the dude right before Odin, about four rows from the end. I know there was a phase heroes like Superman and Namor were given the Fabio-hair treatment, I had not idea Nova got dragged into that. Sad times.

    Yup, those are different, unrelated characters confusingly both called Nova.

    I am just mystified by Nova with long hair. Did that really happen?

    Published adventures or your own made up ones?

    Sometimes one, sometimes the other, often a bit of both. A lot of published adventure simply make no sense at all, at least in the way they expect events to unfold but it can be handy to take the general premise and some of the fleshed out, background details from a published adventure, but...

    System for Old West?

    For Wild West games I use Lawmen v Outlaws becasue... I wrote it so it kind of does the things a like and doesn't do the things I don't like; funny coincidence that. It's a very streamline, Fudge-based game. It's strength is in how it plays very fast and reduces the load on the GM while still...

    Who's profile picture would come out on top in a To-The-Death street fight against every other profile picture here?

    You could always update your avatar to a later model like ..or the Yamato's final incarnation.

    trading/resources in a modern horror setting

    I don't know if it's what you are looking for, but for instance the movie with Jamie Foxx "Dayshift" has a decidedly blue collar, commercial attitude towards vampire hunting.

    Marvel Comics

    Good idea. I followed you advice, found a fan-made Youtube video. I had indeed built the Quinjet all wrong! It's not all my fault though, a piece was missing. The Day 3 Spider-man figure on the other hand has an extra piece. I don't know if missing/extra parts are a common feature. I am not a...

    Marvel Comics

    So bought an overpriced Marvel Lego Advent Calendar because I thought it would be fun. Now I feel stupid because I can't figure out how to assemble some of the lego part correctly.

    Does Anyone Get Pushback for Using Old Editions?

    Another thing to consider it that ours is that people join a game for a range of reasons. The most important thing of course is the experience during the session. If everyone is having fun, it doesn't matter that the GM is running Rifts using a weird homebrew mix of Amazing Engine and Paranoia...

    Does Anyone Get Pushback for Using Old Editions?

    I think D&D is a special case. Partly becasue the culture around the game (not that I know much about it) but also because the some of the edition changes have affected the game play significantly. For most other games, I agree with the general view here that the average player doesn't know or...

    U.K. game shops?

    Leisure Games is the big one and they were at the forefront of supporing Indie games back when "Indie games" was still a new concept. https://leisuregames.com/

    Need a few different versions of Hell

    Camus can do, but Sartre is smartre.

    Need a few different versions of Hell

    Off the top of my head, I think some potential options to pursue, depending on the tone of your campaign. 1. Classical - riff off the Greek Underworld or Dante Inferno for a well structured sort of hell, with Cyberus, Charon and river Styx. It makes for readily gameable fodder. I'd do some...

    Who's profile picture would come out on top in a To-The-Death street fight against every other profile picture here?

    I've got a polar bear, with a saxophone. That's right, it's a polar bear with a saxophone. Fear me.

    The Dank Memes

    Sort of like various British place names like Edinburgh, Gloucester or Leicestershire where the correct pronunciation clearly is obvious from the spelling.

    Sequels better than the Original

    My problem with T2 is the schmaltzy scenes between teenage John and the Terminator. The ultimate script writing crime occurs when the Terminator asks John why he is crying. Other than that, the T2 is a terrific, slick, sci-fi action movie. One of the best of its kind. I enjoyed Dark Fate...

    Sequels better than the Original

    The live action Superman movies never really did it for me, though I accept the Reeves casting in that role was genius. My favourite take on Superman in the animated Justice League series. The high point is when Superman gets out-boyscoutted by Shazam in JL Unlimited.

    Sequels better than the Original

    I agree with the general sentiment of the thread. Sequels and remakes are not necessarily a bad thing, despite the commonly held view. It all depends on the execution. That said we'll just have to agreee to disagree about 3:10 to Yuma. I find original is a lot tighter (a whole hour shorter)...
