THe Cubans built a fairly close copy of the "panopticon". Which puts the guards in a center tower/island, but with the ability to observe the cels 360 degrees around them. THe prisoners cant observe if the guards are watching them, due to mirrored windows. THere is no privacy from the guards. Or they could emulate the prison from the Disney + show Andor with it's eletrified floors and very limited access halways. The one error of design they did was the windows on the access tunnels giving the prisoners an idea of how large the facility was, and a way to communicate line of sight to other prisoners above and below them.

Very complicated. Robert Downey Junior's performance was chilling, and all that drama was caused by a misunderstanding...

Oh, I have.

Very sorry to hear that.

Looking forward to the write ups from this, if you do it.

Oh, definitely, but in my case it was running convention games, so yes I re-use scenarios.

When we are done with James Spader's Blacklist, we are going on to Resident Alien, as well. I liked the two or three episodes I saw a couple of years ago.

The puns, they hurt!

IT really is a choice made at the beginning of a campaign, as to how big or small it's going to be. THe campaigns tend not to grow too much over time if they start street level, as experience in Hero tends to make characters more versatile, and durable, rather than more powerful (in general). Experience points granted tend to be 2 and 3 points a session, and only the most disciplined player sits on them for a full 3 to six months of weekly play to buy another slot on their multi-power, or a new power. So in general, heroes will make slow moves away from the street level, towards full power. Also , GMs should remember that villains get experience points, also. THey can grow as well, though not quite at the rate the heroes would.

They do make things interesting for an exploratory game. Was thinking about that for a possible age of exploration game.

Mekton was fun, but Pondsmith was a fun GM.

Watching The Blacklist with my mom. James Spader plays a master villain who offers the FBI a list of names of wanted criminals, but only if he works with a specific female agent who may be his daughter. The show is tense, and Spader is a joy to watch but he’s definitely not a good guy. On Netflix.
