Clayface Premiere

So we're getting a DCU Clayface movie before a Batman movie? Okay...well, anyway, it premieres today!

Torchlight Ignited

This month should see the release of some cool new Blade Runner-themed Lumibricks that will enhance my growing city of Vesper. I want the city to look and feel epic in scope before we start the campaign. I'm also not in any great hurry to begin because, well, the new edition of Cypher doesn't include cyberpunk info in the core rulebooks! MCG maintains a cyberpunk campaign setting, however, so I'm hopeful we'll see cyberpunk content in the upcoming player supplement that was part of the Backerkit campaign for the second edition. That book likely won't be in our hands until early in the new year. 

In the meantime, we'll test out Cypher 2 with a return to the Torchlight setting. Nathaniel and Amy will play in person, while Matthew will participate remotely and asynchronously from his distant outpost in Indiana. Torchlight was an easy call because I already have a campaign written for it -- something I drafted back in the days of Covid but never got around to using.

Common Tongue

One building at a time, I'll assembling quite an enormous Lumibricks city to serve as the physical representation of Vesper for our upcoming Cypher campaign. I finished up a corporate skyscraper last night and brought in Amy and Nathaniel to see it light up in the dark. Afterwards, Nathaniel got a cheeky look on his face and asked what language people in Vesper speak. When I replied that English would be the lingua franca, he quipped, "What, not Vesperanto?"

My Bad!

I shouldn't have doubted MCG. Nathaniel found a legacy site where the original Cypher character builder remains intact, with all of our first-edition characters. Huzzah!

Wipeout

I do love Monte Cook Games, but I have to say that I was a bit peeved to find that when the online character builder tool launched for the new edition of Cypher, it seems to have wiped out all the saved characters from the first edition. I wish I'd had a bit of notice so that I could download PDFs of all the characters we've made over the past year or so. We would, of course, need to rebuild them for Cypher 2 anyway, but still...

Lanterns

Lanterns premieres tonight on HBO. Seriously hoping that it exorcises the ghost of Ryan Reynolds...
