Hah, my first time, I had one of the bandits yell “Sammy!” to another, a name I just grabbed on impulse. Sammy was also one of the PC’s names…

For a Supers game, I’ve been wanting to play a dragon - just start the game with a chunk of the downtown business district for my hoard, run it with enlightened self-interest (high wages, free healthcare, etc), and go after any supervillains that might threaten my modern “hoard” (which might include the people!)

The idea is that he’d be trying to transition himself from an avatar of fear and flame into something humanity might celebrate, or even venerate - after all, he’s seen that humanity tends to wipe out things that terrify it!

I think they hate the “generic billionaire”, but are they any actual billionaires they hate?

Slowing them down after this is a plus, sure; but I’m still hung up on this: what would this let him get away with?

To speak more to the point - Geordi is asked by his doctor a few times (by different doctors) why he didn’t upgrade to a more modern prosthetic. He preferred the visor.

Eventually, in the movies, he did switch - presumably his new implants finally had feature parity with the visor. Or he got tired of the visor popping off…

For a fairly meaty swords and sorcery system, have you looked at Dungeon Fantasy RPG? It’s GURPS distilled down to just the bits relevant to this kind of setting; so it’ll definitely have the meat you’re after.

I’ve seen people successfully using ChatGPT in conjunction with solo resources as well. It seems like the main thing is you have to keep an eye on the details, as ChatGPT can play fast and loose with things it established before; similarly to how you have to factcheck any kind of summary you ask it for - it’s great at conversation and ideas, but internal consistency is still spotty.

I feel like Starforged can feel pretty cinematic, particularly for a dogfight style encounter!
