I can hear the player, as he spends three days drugged up in an insane asylum, saying, "Okay, this stinks. There must be some way I can spend thirty build points on this and get some way to deal with drugs and poisons. Call it biological focus or burning them out with my dragon chi or something." And the gamemaster smiles and says, "Sure, let's go with that," and later on he meets an evil bastard who just happens to have the knowledge he seeks...<br />Ingot9455https://www.blogger.com/profile/05402794569866621725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-15050921172768602342017-04-28T22:39:25.628-07:002017-04-28T22:39:25.628-07:00@ Ingot:

But that is an interesting way to interpret it.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-27948782903126675742017-04-28T15:34:27.979-07:002017-04-28T15:34:27.979-07:00My favorite slam from Facebook was someone who pos...My favorite slam from Facebook was someone who posted, "And what is up with the Iron fist power? It's totally undefined, it's like it does something different every time it's used!"<br /><br />To which I replied, "In all honesty, that's very true to the comic book."<br /><br />As for me, I am in the middle of the show and it appears to me that what I am watching is a character spending character-build points as he goes. he starts out as a fish-out-of-water with a very lightly sketched character, then rapidly gains skills and abilities as they occur to him that he should have them; or not have them.Ingot9455https://www.blogger.com/profile/05402794569866621725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-84749271220539939582017-04-08T08:37:56.141-07:002017-04-08T08:37:56.141-07:00@ Waffle:

I agree with most folks that the show wasn't as strong/impactful as the previous Marvel series on Netflix, but I found it far from a disaster. And I'm quite surprised by the hate and bile that's been penned regarding Jones's performance.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-38999010201190585952017-04-06T06:32:10.812-07:002017-04-06T06:32:10.812-07:00Nice review.

I'...Nice review.<br />Matches my viewing experience.<br />I'm a big fan of the comic book C-list, like Iron fist, Moon Knight, and Adam Strange, so this show was on my most-waited-for list since it was announced.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
