Seeing that and then thinking about a recent run in the comics, I am chuckling over a couple of things: Logan's beer brand is always either the C or the B, and there seems to be a friendly disagreement among the artists as to which. Kitty genuinely became a Pirate.
I can't help but wonder if her being the whole pirate thing is very much inspired/nod to Kitty's Fairytale. Because really, she could have just become a captain of a ship. But they definitely portrayed her as a pirate in the Krakora story (none of which I read, I'd stopped reading comics in 2020). With the exception of a random pick up here or there.
You call not posting for a grand total of 4 hours and 15 minutes "disappearing?"
The Discord-ification of forums is upon us. Earlier I saw someone just post "hey" -- the times can't help but change, after all.
Heh. I love at work when employees send me a message in Teams and it just says "Hi." Right click. Hide. I am not going to answer if that's all you got to say.
QOTD: What does you pfp come from? Did you make it yourself or did you find it somewhere?
I found mine when looking at art for a certain fandom :3
*I talked to IamSposta before posting this and he said I can ask a QOTD whenever (^w^)*
My profile picture is from Over the Garden Wall, which is an amazing series. I had it up for October, but now that the season is over I might change it.
@SirTawmis: Thanks. I am pretty insecure when it comes to most things and 4hrs feels like a lot longer from my perspective.
@TheSummoningDark: It’s a cool pfp and it always looks like some animal unless I look closer. I joined the forums after you switched it to that so I wasn’t aware that it was a seasonal one :3

NikkiFem, Four hours for you is a much larger percentage of your life than 4 hours for me -- because I have more years than you by far. Four hours for a 2 year old is far more a percentage of their life than it is of yours.
Everything is relative ;)

Hickman's run on all the X books leading into Duggan's run (the stuff about Krakoa becoming the mutant paradise and all that) bled intot he rebirth of the Hellfire Club. Kitty became the Red Queen, and was not only Captain of her own ship (because she cannot use the plant gates), but that ship is a pirate vessel (originally to stop Shaw from screwing around).
Because I have a Kindle Unlimited thing, I take a month or so every couple years to catch up, and it is covered by the unlimited membership.

Yeah I do the Marvel Unlimited once a year for a month. Much easier and cheaper to catch up. And because I have... like 25+ longboxes of comics, it's also much easier on space. I, personally not a fan of where the X-Books (or really most of Marvel) is these days. I typically read the much older comics, which once a year, they've slowly been adding into the Marvel Unlimited thing. There was a very, very, very long time it feels like before 2020 that I was collecting just because I'd been collecting since like late 1970 - and had back collected most of Uncanny X-Men and Avengers (among many other titles - but those were my main jams back in the day to back collect) to have issues dating in the early teen issues with very, very, very few missing issues... so it was ... like a force of habit. When 2020 happened and my wife's health tanked it provided the strength I needed to finally cut the ties and break the habit.
They have a Marvel RPG now. They’re putting out an X-Men sourcebook next year.
Ah, yes. The "616 Dice System." Sigh.
Just wish they would have followed something like the D20 system so it's just easy to pick up and not learning to learn all these new, odd, rules.
It's like the Star Wars game from Fantasy Flight. Sounded so good. I love Star Wars. Hate the dice system in Fantasy Flight. Every time someone makes a roll - we had to pause for like 5 minutes and figure out what the dice meant.
I mean... come on...
So I am hoping the Marvel game will be easy, straight forward and fun. I've not yet looked into it. But I would like to one day run another super hero game.
Pretty sure AEDorsay may be on the same ship as me - that Marvel's FASERIP (as most call it) was very easy and fun. There's been a ton of other "Super Hero RPGs" (Champions, for example), but the FASERIP game was the easiest to get up and running.
Looks like a 3d6 system, where the d6s have 1-5 and the 6 is replaced by the Marvel logo.
Edit: I'm curious whether one system can adequately adapt both the feeling of reading a superhero comic and of watching a superhero movie. Maybe with a couple of variant rules? While the movie crowd is maybe larger in general, if you're looking at the intersection with the TTRPG player crowd, I suspect the comics might be more important to get right.
Well, Earth-616 is where (most) Marvel comics take place. I'd bet the system is referencing that instead of suggesting 616 dice be used.

Faserip and the ultimate powers book are the bomb. Beating that is going to be pretty much impossible.
