Star Wars. Wanna fix it?
Step 1) Hire talented writers.
Step 2) Hire experienced directors.
Step 3) Leave yourself & agenda OUT of it.
Step 4) Focus on interesting characters like these:

Good morning. Just sharing some musings...
I've been in this hobby since 1980.
I've played and ran more games than I can easily remember. Not just because I'm senile, either. ;-)
I've seen the hobby grow and change. A LOT.
In the 80s there was a boom of new games hot on D&D's

Bladerunner.
While I enjoyed the book (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep), the changes in the movie are better.
Also - the actors do NOT match the book descriptions - at all - haha.
Though I wouldve liked to see the Android PD.

I didnt hate it - didnt like it. It was just "there".

I enjoyed the show. It was fun. It didnt ruin the game "lore" and I was entertained. I see it more like a DLC pack - new stuff in a familiar setting.

Honestly I'm tired of prequels and movies that steal the name of an established character (Mad Max) without the character that started the franchise in the movie.
Had they just made a new apocalyptic story with new characters and NOT another prequel - I wouldve been interested.

I dont think GURPS is hard. At its core, it is a simple 3d6 system. I've played & ran it for decades.
My first time GMing it seemed overwhelming - not the mechanics - just so many options as the system is open to EVERY possible genre.
I can help if you want pointers.

Keaton & Bale.
Kilmer was an ok Batman, but an awkward Bruce.
Afleck was constipated - maybe with a decent script he may have done better - dunno.
Patterson was emo - forgettable movie.
Clooney was the absolute worst.

I've been on a pulp kick lately with the original Phantom stories.
Last night re-watched the 1990s movie & it is still fun & aside from a few origin deviations, the writers at least read Lee Faulk's work & took details right from the books.
Nice change from modern revisionism.

What 3 systems have you played that you hated?
Maybe ya loved the world but hated the rules, etc.
- Shadowrun - GREAT lore - awful mechanics
- Rolemaster - too many charts bogged down play - should be ROLLmaster
- Wraith - neat for WoD NPCs bad for a party
Shadowrun (the mechanics)

Normally I spend the weekend pushing my game. I don't have it in me now.
The assassination attempt & sickening reponses by delusional trash is a vile glimpse at the world we've become.
My heart goes out to the wounded & the families who lost loved ones.
This is a somber time.
