I always thought Saul of the Molemen deserved more attention. Although some of the humor is just unforgivable, I appreciate the world-building and Krofft-esque designs.

I wish there were more shows like that without the crude humor, like what if the Aquabats Supershow had continuity.

The Shannara books maybe? Haven't read too much of it myself so can't provide too much info by way of recommendation but mint be worth a look

I would love a game to do a retro-modern reimagining of Nightbane, like Mutants in the Now did for TMNT&OS

I'd also be very tempted to try to remove attack rolls as a separate step and have this initiative roll also tie into action resolution. Like maybe melee attacks deal automatic damage if there's a target adjacent when it fires off.

Mostly I'm thinking about how in such games, when you press a button for an action you're pretty much dedicated to the animation of that action playing out before another will fire off. So like, can I fire off a heavy attack before the opponent can hit me?

Definitely sounds like a neat idea. Seems like a good way to compare l simulate Souls-like mechanics. Defensive options could add interesting tactical gambles.

Jumpstart is already pretty awesome for this purpose but being able to easily expand with additional players would be pretty great.

That being said, we've had pretty good experiences with Jumpstart Two-Headed Giant

There seemed to be art of Jennika in the announcement trailer, so that's pretty cool

Finding out you and Crystal were involved has me more interested in this set. Given the filthy casual MtG player that I am, I'll at least have to try to get the Team-up Bundle and Commander deck.
