Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Phantom Empire? It was weird serial.
ReplyDeleteYep. Gene Autrey's first I think.
ReplyDeleteALWAYS PREP WEIRD. It's easy to tone down the weirdness when you're playing, or to come up with mundane stuff, but the inverse is not true.
ReplyDelete"The serial film is about a singing cowboy who stumbles upon an ancient subterranean civilization living beneath his own ranch that becomes corrupted by unscrupulous greedy speculators from the surface."
ReplyDeleteWhy did I not know this was a thing?!
It's all on YouTube I think.
ReplyDeleteFurther research reveals the top panel is from a movie called The Dancing Lady and the woman is Joan Crawford. I'm thinking it's a burlesque dance number. The robots were re-used for The Phantom Empire the next year. I guess it was just good luck they look like they're wearing cowboy hats?
