I historically had near-zero interest and knowledge of Warhammer 40k, but this whole thing about a new female Custodian character made me look into it just so I could better laugh at all the morons complaining about it. Man, 40k lore is cool but fucked up.
That’s a hell of a sentence, here, Mrs Muir. No wonder 2000+ people highlighted it. And yes, this book is half written as a second-person narrative, which is a very interesting choice that works super well in this case.
It’s so funny to me that one of the #TTRPG arguments against fudging rolls is you should instead fudge rolling. That is: pick whether to roll and take that result, or not roll and choose the outcome. As if there was some big cosmic moral difference between the two 😂
Fede Alvarez is a solid director and I’m cautiously optimistic about this upcoming Alien movie… I’m only disappointed because I thought “Alien: Romulus” would be set in early Roman times, you know, with the sort of transposition they did with “Prey” for the Predator franchise. Oh well!
Last Friday I ran our second Monster of the Week #TTRPG adventure from (checks notes) three bullet points, one of which was added 5min before the game. It went great! I don’t like the system (PbtA is “meh” to me) but it’s fun! We’re aiming for a short 4/5-scenarios campaign.
