I don't think that's a good idea, with Tencent, being ye another arm of the Chinese Communist Party. On the plus side SOcial JUstice will be removed from the property, but on the other it will be nerfed to cater to Chinese sensibilities. But since having shifted the weekend games over to Pathfinder 2 I won't miss anything.

That's how I do things as well. I haven't run superheroes since high school. Now I will ply them, but running, them. no. I am too mean.

Paranoia?

I have to admit that Byzantium has a certain attraction. I am running a pre-Islamic Persia, and Byzantium travelogue, with no magic. And the players have added tons of minor conflicts, and romance. It’s not one for one, but it’s been fun.

Stokes space is moving ahead quickly, but China's Landspace may be moving faster.

Well Electronic Dance Music is important for those speed runs in a star ship. Sets the mood.

I would be the outlier in the other direction, around 1580-1604, with developed gunpowder weapons, pike squares, burgeoning nation states, and exploration and conquest. Magic is becoming another branch of science, and trade and banking are developed. Poor quality kings may cause spasms of Republicanism. Gender equality only applies to player characters.

Exactly!

And they wander through fandoms one by one, to make sure the geek world complies.

THe oldest continuous celebration I think is Persian Nw Year, where people leap over bonfires. It was originally a Zoroastrian celebration from ancient Persia, and the muslims kept trying to suppress, to no success. Dtill celebrated today.

Who isn’t?

Korean TV Series on Netflix. The Ongseong Creature. It takes place in 1945 first in Manchuria, and then in Korea, where nefarious Japanese Scientists are conducting human experiments on hapless Korean civilians collected on trumped up reasons, THe first Lab is destroyed, so the scientists move to a towns Hospital, the OngSeong hospital. Nearby is our hero, a well to do operator of the towns Pawn Shop, called the Palace of treasure. He is known as someone who can get the right information, item, or person for the right price. Charming, and sharply dressed he is a stand out in the community. Entering the scene are a pair from Manchuria, a father and daughter "sleuths" (Bounty Hunters), looking for a particular woman, who has ben missing for 10 years. And then there is the monster.... It has the whole group of types in the casst. THe corrupt policemen. Angry Japanese Soldiers, a Femme Fatale, Revolutionaries, and the town's "Network" . All in all, well acted and very pulp.

Some places make Election Day a holiday, so there is one day everyone can vote, and the civic virtues are championed.

It looks like they could get tipped over on their back easily with a shield rush.

Nicely done. Good visual explanation of armor. Not the first time I’ve seen that Mycenaean pipe armour. Must have been baking hot in the sun. Or was indoor armor.
