I’m glad I made time for John Carter of Mars. Barsoom is a fantastic setting, and the Modiphius writing team have done it justice. The adaptation of 2d20 feels spot on too.
Great story, but weird gurning faces: A review of the Thirteenth Doctor volume 1 comic book

I’m reminded of crazy Japanese game shows that have incredible build-ups and drama only for the contestant to fall off the log.
