Fellow Walks Into a Psychiatrist
Dec. 5th, 2008 08:51 pmBased on the character and story ideas we batted around on Tuesday night, I think this upcoming Star Wars game is going to be a good time. I abandoned the Jedi aspect of my character idea - probably for the best, as two of the other three PCs are Force-users. The Clone Wars is going to feed my lightsaber-swinging need for a while, I guess.
Wednesday night's Spycraft game almost didn't come together, but I'm quite glad that it did. We ended the session with the two soldiers inside an office building under siege by 15 Russian mobsters, while the three other agents watched more-or-less helplessly. The entire team is about to learn the cleansing power of high explosives, I think.
Justice Society of America is getting close to the end of the Gog/KC-Superman story arc, and it's been a pretty good run, I think. There have been some off-putting moments, but they're few. And I've got some bad feelings about where this is all going to go, particularly based on the "And evil shall inherit the Earth" poster from a while back.
I picked up Secret Invasion #8, having gotten a decent feel for the rest of the series and unwilling to wait for the trades to see the whole thing. There were a few surprises, and I do see where the griping has come from. I'm along for the Dark Reign ride, at least in the Invincible Iron Man and War Machine titles - and if Fraction's work so far is any indication, "World's Most Wanted" will be very enjoyable.
Planning to spend a good chunk of tomorrow in libraries. I need to study up on submarines. Maybe meeting with Mom&Dad for dinner.
