The best timeline

I would like a 90's era Vertigo RPG, with John Constantine, Swamp Thing, non-Endless Sandman characters, Black Orchid, Prez, Shade the Changing Man, Animal Man, etc etc... And yes of course there are a bunch of games, even some PbtAs, that could slide into that space (Urban Shadows for example)...

This just continues my sad that 4e is not under the OGL

I do not wish to speak poorly of the dead, but it seems this person caused a lot of harm. His misdiagnoses fueled the satanic panic. Bennet Bruan dead at 83 from complications from a fall. https://wol.com/bennett-braun-psychiatrist-who-fueled-satanic-panic-dies-at-83/

Similarly, no Hitchhiker's Guide ttrpg either - and I was under the impression that Gaiman and Adams were friends (?). Nor anything that's directly by Alan Moore or Frank Miller (where's my 300 ttRPG!?!). Neil's pretty accessible, if someone asked, he'd probably answer...

Hey alert if you like awards (as I clearly do), here's what the Japanese Hugo equivalents think are the best translated works. I am only familiar with the Scalzi. I really like this title Drunk on All Your Strange New Worlds https://locusmag.com/2024/04/2024-seiun-awards-nominees/

Thanks for the reminder, had forgotten. Backed

Finished the novella Down Among the Sticks and Bones (DAtSaB) by Seanan McGuire. Great read, and quick (I love the novella format). It had been a long time since I read Every Heart a Doorway, and I had completely forgotten the characters that were the featured characters in DAtSaB. I think that...

That kind of sums up Scalzi's recent work to a tee

Are the Starter/Essentials set adventures "Adventure Paths"? ie Lost Mines of Phandelver, Dragons of IceSpire Peak, and the other one(s) that I can't remember?
