I think setting the movie on a more cheesy version of Earth really helped with that tbh. But because of that I'm still not convinced they'll fit well once they're shoehorned into the MCU proper.

Agreed.

Nevertheless, it was the first FF movie I've actually enjoyed *at all* - I honestly thought it was impossible for FF to work in live action, so it came as a pleasant surprise.

By the standards of Fantastic Four movies, middling is a great success!

mage of Mwindaji, a named Remnant (a type of living weapon in Ha-Nahn that is formed when a weapon absorbs so much hatred and malice from its owner that it tries to keep on fighting even after that person dies) stalking forward through an eerie night with a full moon. She wears a purple torn and tattered garment with great blades for her arms and a masked, eyeless face. She leads a small troop of others behind her as though prepared to destroy an unsuspecting village. Her body is full of indications of damage from previous battles and yet she still exists.

Mile by mile they come.
Past the ruins and up to the walls, like a ruinous tide they come. To cut the villages down.

Led by Mwindaji they come.
Screaming bronze swords in living form. No lights and no sound, don’t want to be found

To keep from being cut down”
- Khem children’s rhyme #Ha-Nahn

You're packing these jokes in like sardines.

Agreed, "narrative driven" may not make much sense as terminology. Might be more accurate to call it "narrative driving", or "narrative compelling" because it is designed with intent to create story. Eg. rolls force more complex outcomes that in other games would be simple successes or failures.

This cover is dope as hell and I'm in LOVE with the idea of chessboard based game mechanics.

These have been added! If you want to guarantee yourself one you've only got until Wednesday night to order it!

After that the whole stock goes with me to a convention and there's no telling how many I may or may not come back with.

Yesterday I searched google to find out what business week we were in. The AI overview confidently told me it is business week 34. The actual search results confirmed it is business week 35. If genAI can't get such a simple request right, you cannot rely on it for something as complex as advice.

a man covering his face with his hands next to a coin that says $ mort Alt: Captain Sisko, a chracter from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, who is face palming. While the hand is still over his face, a second copy of his arm appears from the bottom of the image, rising to his face until it overlaps with the first. This happens on an infinite loop.

Obviously they'll ask ChatGPT to find the materials, extract them, and build it. It'll be capable of anything by then, they tell me. 🙄

Of course there are ways to spend massively more money, like in any hobby. But that is into the area of luxury goods, which is a personal choice, not a requirement. The minimum assets required are few, and unbeatable in value.

In particular it is important to consider the amount of entertainment value you can get out of the rpg you've just purchased, which is theoretically infinite.

Not going to put the post that inspired this on blast, but ttrpgs have an astoundingly cheap entry price compared to most hobby/entertainment activities, actually! Yes, even D&D, though there are many that are far cheaper still.

WotC literally just put up for preorder at $60 a *288* page book, plus it doesn't come with a bundled PDF and on top of that I don't trust WotC to keep AI-generated art out of their books. $60 for a 400 page book is a steal, especially at the production values of Draw Steel.

Actually, no, that's worth correcting. The +$10 supplement is for the dndbeyond version. Which is arguably a fairer reason to charge a supplement than bundling a pdf.

The fact you also get the pdf included in the price of the print is also not nothing and far from an industry norm. WotC charge a $10 supplement if you want that.

I have a feeling this is a game I will either love or bounce off of. Looking forward to seeing some reviews!

Very cool news! While in Japan this April I picked up the Sword World core books from Yellow Submarine Akihabara, looking forward to having English versions next to them on the shelf.

This is Goro Majima. I made Goro Majima.

...works for me. *saves*

Feeling very irate today. Screw the UK government for their invasive and ultimately pointless age verification law. And screw Collective Shout and payment processors for morality policing content and damaging livelihoods in the process.

As for a BBEG's fortress, they're probably *not* the BBEG (at least openly) during its construction - no point revealing the threat they pose until their impenetrable defenses are ready to protect them from pesky heroes!

Would you know a dungeon under construction when you saw it? They're typically what remains of ancient temples, military facilities, prisons, etc. Modern equivalents of same may become dungeons by next millennia.

I did not! Very good to know!

Share 4 of your favourite books. Difficult, there are so many! But here's a sampler. Included one of my own because I'm proud of the effort involved in making it!

I can probably enjoy almost any dice mechanic as long as the game really sells me on why it works the way it does.

Especially if one or more of those dice are unique to the game!

I feel that pain. I really badly want to release a game that has d14s and d16s - they exist, let's use them! But, similar issue.
