Someone should be able to store their spells in their shadow, or their reflection. Not sure who though.

There are also graphic novel adaptations of the first 6 books out. So far there's been one per year so the whole series will take awhile if they keep going.

There's a great series of episodes on the podcast Going Rogue where the host does a ton of research and digs into all the changes across versions. Her conclusion is that every version had major problems.

We watch the 1987 broadcast of Muppet Family Christmas every year (on YouTube with full commercials), definitely enhances the experience.

I remember people being mad that Traehern felt more like the main character than the PC. But that's really a symptom of the strategy they doubled down on: a silent generic protagonist can't decide to form an international alliance and give a big speech about it.

Several x-stories are about 'cures' for mutants. Are there actual medical treatments that completely block a gene from being expressed at all, or do we only deal with individual expressions / the effects of genes? (Hope that makes sense, I'm not sure if I'm using the right terms)

If you want to hear more about the canceled Gambit and Magneto solo movies, the fantastic podcast @goingroguepod.bsky.social read and discussed both of the leaked scripts as patreon bonus episodes.

There's a song about that sort of youtu.be/2vH9SYx1Ro4?...

Maybe not 'greatest' but worth discussing: The Suicide Squad (2021) led to DC movies being overhauled and James Gunn being put mostly in charge of the whole thing. Superman (2025) was solid, there are a lot of movies queued up, and Marvel is floundering so the eventual impact may be large.

Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting

I learned to drive in one of those; my grandpa had one and we had a minivan so it was slightly better. Horrible back window that you could barely see out of, otherwise it was weird looking but mostly fine.

This is a cool idea. I would say the ship looks like a red-brick academic building with class and lab space. It stays in each plane for a few months, so the researchers just teach classes / give teaching space to whoever lives there. POV is their grad student or possibly the ship's librarian.

Lupita reads it aloud on Netflix's Bookmarks. No behind the scenes commentary or anything, just her reading the book, but she has a beautiful voice.

You would probably like Wayne Family Adventures. It's very good and all about Batman having feelings and trying to raise his kids.

True, but Peter isn't Miles' dad so it's not quite as close of a parallel.

It happens in Batman stuff when Bruce's kids try to decide who, if anyone, should get the name+costume after he dies. Damien has a similar vibe to Rumi even, with the 'am I inherently unworthy because of who my other parent is' kind of plot.

That's the only one I can think of though.

There's a graphic novel adaptation by Mike Mignola of the 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' movie adaptation of Dracula.

Is Dance Apocalyptic too literal?

I would love to hear more about this, or some brand recommends if you like what you're using. I've been trying to repair some warped prints with just greenstuff and sanding, and it hasn't been working for me.

Looks like my memory was off - it's an opening splash page and not a cover: marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Uncanny...

Now I really want to see a cover of Taskmaster saying "Nick Fury is a Jerk!" in the classic Kitty Pryde pose

A list could be cool. Either 'spend the XP to pick one of these, otherwise gm picks' or a list that's like 'for each XP you spend, pick one of these options'.

The task resolution system itself is great; interesting choices and sounds fun to watch. Something about 'sacrifice XP to choose how it happens' bothers me though. It feels like 'if you enjoy narrating or have a fun idea, then do that, otherwise take XP'.

www.geekyteas.com (Burbank, LA) hosts an indie rpg meet-up and carries a bunch of stuff.

I'm in Los Angeles. LA County is massive - bigger than Delaware. The City of Los Angeles is much smaller but still big and weirdly shaped (surrounds Santa Monica and several other cities). So if I said "the city" I would be trying to differentiate between the two.

www.the-isb.com/2024/08/11/t... by @theisb.bsky.social hasn't been linked yet and is well worth a read.

You're mostly getting non-fiction but there's a lot of good fiction about people playing games, so I'll also suggest DIE by Kieran Gillen and Dungeon Club by Molly Knox Ostertag.

I have copies of this, his Guide to Fantasy, and Alien Life of Wayne Barlowe. Highly recommend the other two if you don't have them yet.

This is part of why I like painting stuff (minis, etc) when I'm not up to making something from scratch. You still make choices about colors and stuff, but there's no blank paper to stare at.

My older kid has a stuffed seahorse which was named "sea whore" for about 3 years. We managed to mostly keep a straight face about it.
