Runequest - a nomadic fighter, involved in the "marijuana" trade
Mage - a Jamaican policeman, from the Cult of Ecstasy
Star Wars - a Jedi with dreadlocks, from the Zion system
Prophecy - a nomad fighter, no time to know what he was after
...
See something there?

I have been following it for years and sadly, there has been a hiatus and even now, they're not making fast progress. But quality over quantity.
Although it remains to be seen if Brian K- Vaughan will be able to wrap it up in a satisfactory manner. I've read "Y: The Last Man" by him and even though it started off on an interesting premise (all men on Earth died except one), I remember only that I wasn't thrilled by the end. Same with "Paper Girls". And with "Ex Machina". But Saga is (so far) my favorite of the bunch and so I'm hopeful.

Saga is very good and unique!I have been following it for years and sadly, there has been a hiatus and even now, they're not making fast progress. But quality over quantity.

You didn't link to Mischief Toys so wanted to summarize what they've done for the gaming and wider community: joined the (ultimately successful) lawsuit against the 2025 tariffs and were outspoken in supporting the Twin Cities immigrant community during Operation Metro Surge. Great people and great store!
Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD JUN 24: How do you deal with having a large collection of RPGs but knowing that you will never play them all? Do they feel wasteful? Do you buy RPGs just for play or for other reasons?

There's definitey a lot to be gained by consuming RPGs in ways that are not playing them.
However, I do not admit defeat! I'm playing plenty of the games I own (itch charity bundles aside!)

There's enough value in reading, being inspired by, hacking, etc. to make it worth it for me.
My problem is I've gotten so many PDFs from various bundles I haven't even read them all, let alone play them.

I usually only port a character over to a new system/game if they didn't get to complete their story in the other (game ended, they died, etc) or if I just really really don't like how I did a character.
