Wow, I would post a moderate statement of mild enthusiasm if we ever got a Jade Empire 2.

For sure.

Subjective, of course.

I absolutely had my socks knocked off by Sinners. I should really get some of those old timey sock-garters men used to wear back in the day! 😂

And no one ever "votes" for a comedy, but the new Naked Gun was a brilliant sequel to the old franchise.

It was fine. Best movie of 2025? No. But fantastic art direction and design work.

As the old Soviet joke goes:

"They're hunting Kulaks!"

"Why do you care? You're not a Kulak, you're a rabbit!"

"Try telling them that!"

Probably the lightest version of the FGU "house mechanic" we see in Daredevil and Bushido (Aftermath is the heaviest version).

A fun historic game, sadly I don't think I ever ran more than 2 or 3 sessions before that group graduated High School and scattered.

We all love regular games that happen regularly, but everybody, players and GMs alike, should be able to call for a time-out.

Kick your (possibly metaphorical) feet up and remember to hydrate!

The Red Sox beat the New York Baseball Giants 4-3-1 in that series.

That was 1903, 1919, 1920, & 1921

1907, 1912, & 1922 all had a tie game, and in 1912 the 8th game, the tie breaker, went 10 innings.

75 in 1912.

The life of a Repo Man is always intense.

I think I understand the sentiment. But when most who know GURPS think about it, they see it primarily as a tool-kit to build anything with.

In that regard, 3rd edition and the d20 explosion of 3rd party OGL products doing everything from Superheros to Horror might be marginally closer.
