Who would have thought that exploding upon being hit by an umbrella would be the worst superpower ever? 😄

I've stolen a few bits and bobs from Fritz Lang's Die Niebelungen and Metropolis ( I love silent films, so probably some others but I'm not thinking of them now), so they are probably about the oldest. After that, I definitely took some from the old Flash Gordon serials, as well as everything that Harryhausen was involved in, and took very liberally from both of those sources.

Anyway, thanks for the read and for the FOMO protection spell/list. I myself try to live with a simple mantra over the past year or so - "Play the games you have". It's proven to be quite effective in my case.

Just need some time to sit down and go through everything, and then for someone to release a BGStats style app for RPGs. 🙂

I have all my plays logged in a spreadsheet, but I’ve fallen way behind here ever since the issues with the gatekeeper checking if I was a human and logging me out all the time. Shows how quickly a habit becomes a non-habit. 😄Just need some time to sit down and go through everything, and then for someone to release a BGStats style app for RPGs. 🙂

Also I've recently been reminded somewhere of Microscope; I never played it, but from some photos I saw it seems to tend to result in writing some paper cards?
