That's cool that they have them up! Where is this place? La Sombra Vengadora, closer translation would be "the Avenging Shadow," but essentially the same thing. I often confuse his mask with El Rayo de Jalisco ("Jalisco Thunderbolt"). Here's La Sombra Vengadora:I ate at my favourite Mexican takeaway today. They have a couple paintings of wrester masks on the wall, and I was interested to note that after watching several luchador movies recently I was able to identify them as Blue Demon and Revenging Shadow.
Tough question! It was just the masks, so I'm now a lot less certain about Avenging Shadow. I'm leaning towards Jalisco Thunderbolt, but they're so similar that artistic license could be enough to obscure the difference.That's cool that they have them up! Where is this place?

And here's a decent site that has brief fact files for a lot of luchadores: http://www.luchawiki.com/index.php?title=La_Sombra_Vengadora
Hope she'd be okay soon!I had to cancel the long-planned Lucha Libre Hero game because I've had to drive my wife to urgent care and have no idea when we'll be done.
Yea man I have seen this a lot, people get all enthusiastic and their game fizzles after 0-3 sessions. DMing is tough.That's okay, real life happens; the thing that's bothersome is that he kept saying he would finish the campaign when work calmed down, and now that work has calmed down, he doesn't have the drive or interest to finish GM-ing his campaign.

Yeah I can see that. With regards to the group semi disbanding. I keep Thursday evenings as designated game night. I do it every Thursday whether I want to or not. I send out a text to all participants every Thursday. It still only happens 50% of the time In summer and 80% of the time the rest of the year. FlI do this because if I don't my wife will eventually see it as a fungible night and start scheduling other things that night.It really is. The nice thing is, after the other guy's stint in the chair, it seems the group has more respect for the amount of work and effort I put into GM-ing.

It also reminds people every week they've got something if they want it.
It's slow rolling. I started with two friends. One single guy and one with older kids. Cultivate those types. Single no kids people don't have to negotiate with anyone for their time other than jobs. Ones with older kids only need to get the SO in board. The kids are already itching to have mom and dad gone. Those folks are gold. I've added various other dad's over the years. Most with children my age. The desire is there but that's not a reliable time for most dad's. I don't have any women in my game group and that's by design. I'm a stay at home dad and spend all week all day with either women or children. I need guy time. But that costs me players for sure.Yeah, this is the approach my D&D DM takes and it's pretty effective. Incidentally also on Thursdays, haha.
I'm thinking of using a similar approach if I can get a home game off the ground again.
How did it go??? Any details would appreciated.My first adventure for The Expanse kicks off tonight. I wonder how my players will take it when they discover this session will be more to the tune of a SF crisis film like The Martian than the space action fare they might expect.
Took a look on some board games, don't know if I really want or will purchase any of them but Rising Sun and Time of Legends Joan' of Arc are on my radar.
I feel that way about the gym too...I'm at the gym waiting for the wife to change. I've been looking for work and I absolutely hate the lying and groveling involved. On the plus side the wife and I won our first game of Arkham Horror 3rd edition.
Heh my first thought was, "Wow, I didn't know Steve McQueen and Tom Baker did a detective show in the 70s."
Well, when we play a game set in the modern era we sometimes describe PCs as "looks like a young Dustin Hoffman," so maybe Steve McQueen and Tom Baker will show up.Heh my first thought was, "Wow, I didn't know Steve McQueen and Tom Baker did a detective show in the 70s."
Hell I do that in my D&D game; IMHO, is it a perfectly valid way to describe NPCs in a succinct and evocative manner. If I say "The priest looks like Gary Busey during his 'crazy years'" everyone gets it immediately and we can move on.Well, when we play a game set in the modern era we sometimes describe PCs as "looks like a young Dustin Hoffman," so maybe Steve McQueen and Tom Baker will show up.
I'm already Thomas Magnum every day at work as it is.
