Forget Iron Man. PJ pointed me at the new Hancock trailer. It’s true, Hancock has gone from being a “Wild Wild West” kind of camp nonsense movie to a movie I’d really like to see and a game I’d like to run. That said, Iron Man, much more than the Fantastic Four or Spider Man…

What’s that in the background?
Today I had lunch with Mike and Jim in Kainan Cafe. We then went round to Forbidden Planet where I refrained from buying a lot of stuff. This is self-control, I tellya.
“I don’t have any choice, somebody has to save the world”
I’ve been reading a lot of old comics this week. Warren Ellis Planetary The Eclipse Miracleman stories. I’m trying to track down my Authority trade paperbacks as well. There’s been a recent thread on RPG.net about creating a setting where Superheroes conquered the world. This, along with other memes, was part of what I was…
OREs Magica
I spent some time at work today thinking about things that could be done with the ORE system. I admit that I’ve not yet had the chance to really test it in anger Part of this is to kick a bit of life into the forums at Project Nemesis as well as the ones at…
Feeling Planetary Love
OMG, I’m feeling the love for Planetary all over again. I’m itching to run a Planetary-like game using Wild Talents. Soooo much….
Converting some WatchTower characters to Wild Talents.

Wild Talents / ORE
I’ve finally finished reading the system bits of Wild Talents and I do wish I’d read it earlier as it is a pretty solid action system with a lot of crunch and grit. It’s honestly the first time since reading Marvel Super Heroes by TSR that I felt like I could reliably model any power….
Project NEMESIS
I recently registered on Project NEMESIS, a web site dedicated to ORE (One Roll Engine) and BRP. BRP (Chaosium’s Basic RolePlaying). Seeing as my gaming group plays nothing but BRP so far (Delta Green, Gaslight, RuneQuest) and we’re potentially starting an ORE game, it seems quite timely.
More on Godlike
I’ve finished reading the book itself and found it quite enjoyable. I do have some issues with the quick proliferation of Talents and would be seeking to limit them myself. I don’t mind them being very powerful (though there seem to be a lot of indestructable ‘mad’ talents out there. The money is still on…
Godlike
During our last game we had some breaks and it was mooted that I might be up for GMing Godlike. (The other option was Cthulhutech but considering that we’ve been playing nothing but Delta Green and Gaslight for the last two years, I could safely give the Mythos a miss for a while.)
Godlike propaganda
Funtasticus has a long list of WW2 propaganda posters.
