I don’t know what this is, but it sounds fun. Possibly a new/old show to watch. Waiting for the reveal…👀

Too many but I'm getting more and more played each year and trying to buy far less (not counting crazy digital bundle deals).

Life's kept me pretty busy today. It's looking like tomorrow's going to keep me mostly away from my computer too... Mythic Monday might still happen as scheduled.. I'm keeping my fingers-crossed. And if tomorrow does turn out the way I think, then maybe we'll just have a Mythic Tuesday this week 😜.

Coffee!!!!

Happy Sunday and happy playing!

It's hipster trolling.

I don’t know about you, but I was trolling Dan before it was popular.

What a way to honor a great mind of our days! ❤️

I just have to be honest and say that I basically just thought his name is cool (and Italian sounding) and since the character was inspired by William of Baskerville I felt I would name him after him. (I must admit I haven't read any of his philosophy. 😳)

And Charles Darrow (my former character) was named after the guy who patented Monopoly. (He actually stole the idea from Elizabeth Magie's The Landlord's Game.) I didn't name him that to honor the guy, I just wanted a vaguely British sounding name and I liked how it sounds.

I guess I'm a little lazy (or not altogether super creative) at making character names. 😔

How many source books or inventory of games do you have but haven't gotten to the table yet? For example, I own most of the Shadowrun 6th Edition books but I haven't started a campaign yet.

How many is that? 37? 73?

Is this genre just not very popular?

I haven't run or played any scenarios like this but have been reading Dune: Adventures in the Imperium and contemplating a campaign focused around these sorts of adventures amidst house politics. I ask the question because I'm curious about other people's experiences.

The only one so far being a negative experience is perhaps very telling....
