@squirreltalk yeah, it wasn't exactly 'thought through' just I wanted to play a pro wrestler for this crazy 900 pt Infinity patrol game and the GM was like, okay, describe your world, and I was like, Okay, so there's no wars, just wrestling! And, not going to lie, kind of would love a game where it's just a week of promos, characters jawing off at each other, and then on Saturday Nights, they have a match to decide where to build the park, by the pond, or nearer to the road.
@zombiegenesis said in MUs That We Would Love To Make (But Won't):
I'd totally be down for a Mortal Kombat or Pro Wrestling MU.
I once made an Infinite Worlds character that came from an Earth that achieved World Peace(TM) by having leaders fight duels over their grievances. This eventually evolved into all levels of government embracing the squared circle to settle differences. Everything from HOAs to International Politics were dealt with by steroidal champions looking for the pin. Each region was a circuit of wrestlers pummeling each other in a sort of feudal society where if you wanted into the ruling class, you just had to eat some vitamins, do some pushups and come up with a gimmick.
This might make for a fun mush.
Please excuse me while I ugly snot-cry at The Good Place finale.
For real, though.
I got pretty deep into Supergirl and thought it was a hoot. The Flash was good for the first half of the first season before I got distracted. Couldn't get into Arrow, though, it seemed like it was trying to be gritty or something and it was kind of boring to me.
@Ominous Yeah, broadstrokes for sure, but I feel like gaining buy in from players would be easier if they could work on a few big events lost to history for some of the ruins they encounter.
Also, Kruggsmash has something going on that I might start milking for a west marches history https://youtu.be/98CnBDoyS5I

The also do a carrot cake in the thing lol
I've been getting into Instant Pot stir fries. It's a gross looking mess when it comes out, but holy shit is it tasty as fuck. And it takes about 5 minutes of work.
@silverfox said in The Hockey Thread:
WAIT, I came to this too late.
Is there an honest to god Coyote fan here? I thought that was a myth!
In theory, kinda. If I ever want to catch the Oilers live, it's cheaper to fly to phoenix and buy a ticket there than to get a decent ticket here.
My D&D group is getting super flaky lately, so I'm in the starting stages of figuring out a West Marches style game to work with crazy schedule nightmares, and I wanted some input on an idea I had.
The idea is basically, not really having a setting background, or at least very bare bones background, and having important events being done collaboratively through player driven one off sidequests/PrPs, with the caveat that they write out what the history books have written down for that event so that others can know important bullet points.
Has anyone done this with their game? If so, did it work well, or did it turn into a Bill & Ted nightmare with players trying to seed magic items in caves just outside of town that they'd find with their main character?
Loved Picard, only qualm is that hiring an actual fight choreographer made it feel non trek to me. I miss the janky palm strikes and double axe handles. But it's such a minor cost of admission to get TNG fanservice I don't mind it that much.
Most of my faves have been mentioned, here are some that were missed:
Some More News Cody's Showdy
Templin Institute History and Lore of different nerddoms in nice bite sized pieces.
One Mind Syndicate Mostly 40k lore videos, but they sometimes cover other things. Gersh's voice is very relaxing.
EckhartsLadder Come for the star wars lore, stay for the doggo at the end.
Lady Knight The Brave Pop culture video essays.
Steve Shives Guy who talks about Star Trek. A lot.
PBS Space Time BLACK HOLES!!!!
Seth Skorkowsky RPG Reviews and a few great stories.
Space Dock Nerding out hard about space ships in Scifi.
Tier Zoo If the animal kingdom were and MMO.
MRESteve1989 Is this a cooking show? I think I've mentioned it here before in another thread.
Seriously Wrong Seriously, it was wrong of me to forget this one. They are great, though more podcast than youtube channel.
I discovered Alt+mousedrag to get columns out of pdfs and into excel easily. Made my day in this frigid january snowpocalypse.
@Ghost The Hockey team handoffs in the locker room were my favourite, but a lot of people got tired of that schtick.
@Groth yeah, that's a common critique of him, he writes amazing episodes in other people's projects, but seems to lose the plot when he's in charge. I wish the big wigs would catch on.
If you like Dr. Who then you'll also want to check it out as this is written by Moffat/Gatiss and... well, it shows. A lot.
Lol, it shows so much. In episode 2, Dracula pretty much is Dr. Who. I couldn't get through episode 3, it was complete trash.
@insomniac7809 I dunno, it's literally the first force power we see in the movies. Ben Force Heals Luke after he got whopped by sand people.
Also, I didn't understand how dumbfounded people were with hyperspace tracking in TLJ, Darth Vader hyperspace tracks the falcon to Yavin. This is old tech we're talking about!
@Arkandel Yeah, that's why I don't think I'd ever touch a 40k mush. There's a lot of it in Star wars, but those people are easy enough to avoid/ignore.

People should go see Knives Out. It's Rian Johnson finally recovering from the stumble of making a critically acclaimed billion dollar movie.
Looper?
The Hard Times is great:
