Made an unofficial army/setting book for Xenos Rampant because Rogue Trader infected me with weird nostalgia for '80s/'90s shlock:

I was so inspired and energetic writing this. Working with an already existing ruleset and finding funny fluff-rule combos is great.

Writing your own rules? Decidedly less so.

Anyway, proud.

What if I just pivoted to showing you all the messed up intros of old games? Here's one from the creators of the latest Crash Bandicoot game.

Narn cruisder crashes
A robot crawls out of the crash site, immediately starts shooting
A weird guy electrocutes himself because ???
A naked lady has the decency to cover her lady parts until nanobots cover her in Gundam armor
A lizardman with a magical whip vomits lightning
A robot with saw hands tries to get the camera while making whip sounds with every punch
A grav bike bombs the desert and incidentally an abandoned dwelling
A horned android catches a random swamp critter, blasts its head off
A lizardman wizard casts a spell in his hut to summon an eagle
Bug rhino overturns a shooting robot
Guy does the "Kratos cast himself from the highest mountain in all Greece" thing, reveals bird wings

Looks at Star Wars
Looks at Star Trek

...You know what, I'm perfectly fine with Babylon 5 having ~three shows and two games.

The more you let capital make of a thing, the more likely are you to end with some with a bunch of horribly mutated skinwalkers. They break your heart, since they look like The Thing You Love, but entirely miss the point of original and have nothing what made it good.

...inexplicably, there's also a bunch of people lining up, perfectly happy, to hug the mutant skinwalker and proclaim it to be to great,

Mattel CEO/Hasbro immediately missing the point so hard it causes the point to be erased from history via the collective power of being ignored: Barbie movie is a success because it's about a nostalgic children's toy. We need more nostalgic children's toy movies. We need a Barbie cinematic universe.
