Fallout 3 and fallout new vegas had weapon and armour damage, I was so glad they got rid of it for fallout 4. For most games I'd say it is not a fun mechanic.

Hanging out with friends with a shared experience. I love the fact that nothing in a ttrpg is real, but we all have this shared experience that we might talk about for years to come.

Saga of the seven suns by Kevin J Anderson was so good I was churning through a book a day. Few years later and I ran through follow up trilogy and its prequel.

In addition to resistance/immunities, vulnerabilities that are impacted by weapon type. If skeletons take double damage from bludgeoning weapons then you might also seem some more weapon swapping.

If weapon breakage was in the game, especially breaking on a 1, it would be one of the first things I'd houserule away, it isn't a fun rule for martial users who rely on their weapons.

I think if I were to run a savage supers game, I'd have a lot of the groups like AIM or Hydra show up allowing the players to cut down numerous minions with a wild card (like MODOK) turning up at some point to challenge the PCs. Jobbers are also a supers trope, even if they often turn up as a...

Tales of the valiant standardises the levels each class gets subclasses to 3, 7, 11, and 15 which I think is an improvement. Might not be a selling point, but I think it's an improvement.

I'm not sure any of the comics would have needed to be read for context, some background in the what if series but even that isn't really needed. And as you say, it's a zombie story, that's context enough

Watched it tonight, I thought it was pretty good and yeah, that ending.

I've mostly read through the 3.5 book and a few of the 3.5 eberron supplements. I do have the old 5.0 eberron book but I haven't read that in a while. Entirely possible that if noir is mentioned in that one that I missed it.

I'm not sure I even realised noir was part of Eberron, but I guess I haven't looked too much into it so may have missed it when reading through what books I have.

I bought SWADE when the core book came out, read through it, forgot about it, then read it again and thought "I want to run this" had something set up with cheat sheets to help my players and then life got in the way, we tried rescheduling 3 or 4 times before I gave up. I can't feel too bad...

That is largely my take away from searching for info about the web. I'm probably going to cave and grab the swade version.

I think the last one was the savage worlds horror companion when it was on special. Still trying to decide if I need the scifi book or if the previous edition version is fine.
