Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Jun. 10th, 2025 08:41 amicon_uk posting in scans_dailyIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
Honestly, not the best week for trying to see the lighter side of things, and I know there's still a Pride post to make, but I know I can rely on you to provide some engaing discussion, so go for it!

Absolute Green Lantern #2 - "The Abin Sur"
Jun. 9th, 2025 10:09 pmlaughing_tree posting in scans_daily
As to why we did what we did to Hal, I think Hal can take it is the short version. If Hal can't take it, then he's not the character I thought he was. But I'm sure if you're a fan of Hal, yeah, you know he can take it, you know he can take some lumps. He's a big enough character to take the knocks. -- Al Ewing

Another Fantasy Bundle - Fantasy AGE 2E
Jun. 9th, 2025 06:55 pmffuturesThis is an offer of the 2nd edition of Green Ronin's Adventure Game Engine FRPG with supplements:
https://bundleofholding.com/p
This is a well-regarded system and the rules are easy to learn, mostly similar to the previous release and broadly compatible with other games from Green Ronin such as The Expanse. One of the supplements covers one a fun subgenre, technofantasy - adventures in a world where magic and forgotten technology are pretty much interchangeable. I'm probably not going to be playing it, since I OD'd on the genre in the seventies and eighties and got fed up with some aspects of fantasy adventuring, but it's relatively cheap and I think it's worth a look if you're interested.

Timing
Jun. 8th, 2025 07:06 pmjames_davis_nicollI swung by Old Goat Books to pick up a book I ordered, which meant I was in the right place at the right time hear the confused customer next to me ask "What's speculative fiction?" Which, after I explained what it meant, was followed by the question. "Do you know anything about Andre Norton?"
It was only with great effort that I resisted shouting "BEHOLD! I AM Marshall McLuhan" before helping.
