I suspect this ain't "headcanon", but "canon the creator doesn't want known"!I'm still partial to the fan theory that Firefly is based on Whedon's Traveller campaign, and that several of the characters are actually based off characters from that campaign.
- Malcolm Reynolds and Zoe Washbourne are ex-army adventurers, maybe rolled up with Book 4.
- Wash is a pilot who never rolled any combat skills.
- Simon Tam is a doctor with a high social standing, as one tends to roll in Supplement 4.
- Jayne is a career criminal rolled up as an other or rogue
- Kaylee Frye was rolled with a low education but had really high mechanical or engineering skills.
...how is that "headcanon" and not "in-game reality"?This is actually canon.
Demon: The Fallen and Werewolf: The Apocalypse take place in the same world.
And both Demons and Werewolves absolutely know the other side to be completely insane.
Yet both are right.
I like those two a whole lot...the first because it explains stuff about the setting in a better way than what I had come up with, and the latter because it's basically what I had used in a S&S setting!To clarify, if I don't specify a setting, I referring to about a dozen or so published Mythos/fantasy/sci-fi settings that are part of my combined universe. It would be tedious to mention each of them in every post.
- The Nightmares Underneath setting exists in Lovecraft's Dreamlands
- Millions of years ago, the star-spanning empire of the snake-men collapsed almost overnight after unleashing cosmic forces beyond their control. They terraformed planets to suit their reptilian physiology (hot and dry, hot and humid) and used man and his shambling, ape-like cousins as subjects for sorcerous experimentation. Much like lab rats who escaped captivity and live on after nuclear war, humans remain on many of these planets although most have degenerated into barbarism or worse (ape-men, ogres, morlocks, mutants, etc).
Well, make it harder to obtain those thugs is more like it...I've always wanted to see a story that frames Bruce Wayne as a sociopathic Billionaire that masquerades as Batman to terrorize the poor and downtrodden. Commenting on how he could be spending his time and money funding Gotham PD or setting up social programs that would deprive the supervillains of their rank and file thugs.
But yeah, I've commented in this sense as well!
