That is in absolutely no way a terrible idea! Except in the 'likelihood of face being torn off' respect, anyway ;D. Are Were-beasties generally hostile in this edition? Or would we be likely to have a reasonable shot of adding the Werebear to our monstrous regiment?

Capsule is the only one we've not encountered at all, IIRC? Voting for new death backdrop :D. Half-vote for flight sim before touching the death-bug, in case of ties.

Guess it's time to either bleat to the tune of 'get out of the pit, Urlik', or tangle our horns in the rope and try to help pull him out :D.

Thanks Angel. I forgot. It strikes me that now I'm sure Silva has returned to us, like the most tedious resurrection you'd care to imagine, there's a button that will solve all my woes.

...I have literally only seen one of the games you just listed played or sold. Numenera is Monte Cook deciding that he doesn't like writing crunch any more, and so not doing it - it's got sweet fuck all to do with content-deprived vague lists of mouth-noises that pretend to be actual games (PbtA), a...

Heh - yeah, appreciate the point on the verbosity, these are more game-BOOKS than GAME-books, aren't they :). Definitely preferred them to the standard fighting fantasy fare, I must confess - while the worldbuilding was odd in places, actually having it there without having to follow the whole serie...

Le poke - so what's the third book like? In what ways is it better than the first two? And in what ways is it bad enough for you to not want to run it? :D.

Enjoy your break :D.

Also, we should totally poke the evil sword. Because what's the worst that can happen when we create a Dwarf-Wight for our next adventurer to find!

(Not a vote for poking the sword. Probably a bad plan :D).

Good point, I'd forgotten his Ragnarok cameo :D. Dr. Strange, Ragnarok, Infinity War, Endgame. Still, like, 3 years worth :). I'm curious to see where they take him - he's just started swinging up from his lowest point :D.

Given that was blatantly Hemsworth in a fat suit and/or CGI-ing his head onto a fatter body, I suspect that Thor and Quill will be competing to get back into shape. Recall that in Infinity War they told Quill he was getting fat - I could totally see them both spamming crunches together or something....

They're called Reaper Chaincannons, and it's two heavy bolters stuck together at 24" range rather than 36". Pretty good, and Havocs got +1T and move-and-fire heavy weapons without penalty. So yeah. Solid anti-infantry dakka.

This is sort-of covered in the arc. Using the Infinity Stones at all requires a certain 'power' - so, Ronan can attune one with little effort, Quill while half-celestial can almost hack it (and needs Gamora/Drax/etc to assist), and Thanos can, with the help of the Gauntlet, attune all 6. Because Gau...
