NYC has been my home for 23 years, and I have never been more proud of my city and my fellow working citizens than I am today. Grassroots movement by the people sent Mamdani to the top, and billionaires, Dem establishment, and the financial class are in a cold sweat. YOU LOVE TO SEE IT.

No session recap this week as we eschewed playing to instead watch UT embarrass themselves at Ohio State 😐. So here’s a little discussion of some of the house rules we’re using. Link in comments!

The first thirty minutes of Superman (1978) seems ripped from todays headlines. Jor-El has to deal with an attempted insurrection, gets ignored when he warns the council about catastrophic global climate change, and there’s an undocumented immigrant for good measure.

If you don’t have this yet, get it! The art is amazing, the system (for me) hits that perfect sweet spot of crunch and agility and is easily modded to suit your table, and the included setting is incredible, and would be easy to port to any other retroclone if you like.
Copies of the slipcased reprint of the amazing Outcast Silver Raiders are still available from @exaltedfuneral.bsky.social
