Truth, justice and Pyramid

[subplotkudzu]

Given that Guardians of Order is now officially folded, I decided it was time to start providing Pyramid content for another game system. Since I find Pyramid-preferred GURPS to be incomprehensible that meant finding something else.

I had been pushed to Mutants and Masterminds, but my flip through revealed PC creation looks fussy and persnickety, a feeling that docmystery backed up in A&E . Instead - in honor of its recent spate of awards, and because the author is a nice guy who asked me to peer review the system - I'll be going with Atomic Sock Monkey's "Truth & Justice" by the inimitable chadu.

Chad's even having a sale on the system right now if you don't own a copy! Go get one! Quick! Now if I can only convince Chad that he wants to publish the Firestorm Effect Universe source book, my life will be complete. Well, that and a pony.

the Psi-Men game crashed and burned when the players didn't get Supers, and one even pointed out, "Well, look at what you've loaned me: Powers, Watchmen, V for Vendetta, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Jon Sable. . ." I had never actually loaned him a straight up super-hero comic.

Nod. I sometimes wonder what my little one will make of conventional fairy tales that make use of the standard conventions of doughty peasants, helpless princesses, brave knights, etc., after she has been subjected to literally years of unconventional non-traditional fantasy fare, like Shrek, Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbor Tortoro, and all that Disney stuff.

Probably the sam thing she'll make of you telling her that Cthulhu is supposed to be Scary rather than cute and cuddly.

On a certain level I'm afraid hip, knowing, ironic postmodernism is the equivalent of heat death for genre conventions in the widely followed genres.
