Downtown Khazan: Ice Cold Utopia

[FistofIron]

I've done it as well. There's many variants to the base game, and I find them very fun. Betrayal at House on the Hill, from the one time I played it recently, seems to give you an easier time with positive stuff with the problem that the betrayal scenario may totally throw you for a loop.

Hmmm that sounds interesting. We’re trying to decide if we’ll play Call of Cthulhu, Mutants and Masterminds, Deadlands, or Night’s Black Agents next.

NOW you have ‘posts‘.

Awesome.

Weekend was a bust, but I'll get something up tonight or tomorrow.

i feel its a slow build back to that for strange, inthink mark waid would be the guy if it does happen tho

I'm a little tired of the 'Strange loses everything' storyline. It's old. And weak. And not done very well most of the time.

Director and writers - How much do you want us to miss the point?

Producers -Yes.

Is it worth watching aside from this (admittedly major) issue?

Cassandra Cain doesn't fight and swears a lot.

Hope Sharp doesn't read this.

*throws up hands and walks away*

Well, there's the new comic series.

God.... Damn....... It...

ANother cousin died in car wreck. Also. ;laughes, laughes as bitterly as possible to make the Joker cringe.:

My mind. Its worse. It's actually worse. THe scans show my damage is creeping in, to the rest of me. Losing my dmaned mind. Now, my short temr memory, and hitting the vocal centers of my mind. First my hand writing, then typing, now speech? Do I have the curse of babel?

Just.. Damnit. I may chip in on stuff I know of for the debates. But no more rpg stuff. Givne I cannot evne remmeber my new material, I do not see a point. Oh well, it was a waste probably.

Still, I wonder how long this will go on. Just.. Yeah.

I'm very, very sorry Chou.

My personal favorite is Moon Druid/Monk in 5e, if the DM will let me use unarmed strikes with transformations.

Personal favorite was Ranger (varient)/Rogue in 3.5. Effective? Not compared to the mages. Not even compared to builds looking for 'most effective fighter type'. Fun? Absolutely.

I can't speak to Nights Black Agents and Beadle has covered CoC. Deadlands is interesting if you're into The Romanticized Old West, and M&M 2e is possibly the best superhero system I've ever seen, being capable of running nearly any style of 'superhero' game (even the ones where you're not really a 'superhero' at all).

...I didn't like 3e and decided to stick with 2e, so I can't speak to how that's running.

Next time is Leonardo vs. Red Ranger Jason. Will the Rangers finally get a win, or are they going 0-4?

[Dark Soul # 7]

Caught up with some manga.

Lots of kinda weird revelations in Nanatsu No Taizai, and some of the freakier styles of reality warping I've seen in a manga. I'm intrigued and it does address some of the plot points that were still lingering from after the Holy war. But this threat still feels a bit... lacking in setup is the best way I can think of putting it.

Over in Edens Zero things are rapidly going poorly for the heroes, and we get a bit more crumbs about Rebecca. She's the 29th of something and several people want her on their side because of what she is. The plot here is just tons of fun and really engaging.

Jason better win. I doubt he'll be allowed to summon one of his zords, but I wouldn't be surprised if he got to use Tommy's equipment for the fight.

And what version of Leonardo are they gonna go with I wonder.

For those of you still weighing whether or not to see Birds of Prey, Gail Simone has given her thoughts on it: She loves everything about it except how it handled Cass

[Cthulhu_of_R'lyeh]

No offense to Gail Simone, but no.

[master of read]

JJ says you can skip "birds of prey".

and he ain't let me down in over a decade.

I hope he does too. Real tired of watching part of my childhood get destroyed every time it shows up.

As for version of Leonardo, they're probably gonna go with a composite Leo.

Seems pretty straight forward to me.

You defeat the King of the Demons and abuse parent of the lead character, where do you go from there?

Answer; a big cat.

Logic.

Anyhow, more seriously, I remain distinctly lukewarm on this plot so far. Though I did like Gowther in this chapter, good character moment for them.

Over in Edens Zero things are rapidly going poorly for the heroes, and we get a bit more crumbs about Rebecca. She's the 29th of something and several people want her on their side because of what she is. The plot here is just tons of fun and really engaging.

Mashima knows how to make fun encounters and these element boys have been great fun. However, this is feeling a bit too close to Groove Adventure Rave for me. I know he always has some form of Etherion and often some permutation of the Ten Commandments in his stories as self-referential nods but this feels like he's literally hitting plot beats from GAR directly this time.

I'm still enjoying it, overwhelming fanservice notwithstanding, and between the setting, themes and characters it's certainly engaging me a lot more than Fairy Tail ever did. Big fan of the Space-based Sci-Fi/Fantasy Hybrid thing he's doing here, it's very cool.

But... the similarities are still niggling me a little.

Probably because GAR is one of my favourite Shonen series. It's up there in terms of how tightly made and well handled it is. It's a solid series so far though, I would broadly recommend it.

I'm on the fence but I might see it. I'm certainly not in a rush in any case.

Quite apart from my objections to superhero movies at large; it is the first superhero movie to have a full female ensemble cast which is interesting to me and I am curious to see what they do with Cass even if it's bad.

All that said, I will say I do find the DCEU's attempts to find a coherent voice for itself much more engaging than the vast majority of Marvel's content. I hope that they continue to experiment and try and innovate because that is good for the genre even if individual films aren't immediately successful.

Sidenote; Friends of mine who are more familiar with Cathy Yan's directorial efforts have told me that she tends to either make something amazing or something nigh unwatchable. Not much middleground stuff. I'm hoping for the former.

Meh the MCU is rarely great, but it is consistently decent, which is more than I can say about the comics side of Marvel, for the past 20 years.

So I'm glad to have it there as an alternative to the comics.

To be clear, I'm not trying to take a shot at Marvel with this comparison.

At least, not any more than usual.

Their stuff is objectively successful. I just don't like it any more.

Also, I haven't read mainline Marvel comics for like... nearly a decade so I can't really comment on that stuff either. XD
