Listening to a Spotify "Daily Mix" for Metal got me thinking. I discovered Metal back in 5th or 6th grade. My tastes in metal have become fairly eclectic over the years, but I tend to listen to more Symphonic Metal these days. Here are some of my Go-To bands/albums/songs, in no particular order:

I'm very interested in this system coming soon to Kickstarter on October 7th:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...
At its core you need to roll 1, 2, or 3's on a die, so the d4 is the best and as you fail rolls, it shifts to larger dice until you go over d12 and exhaust the trait.

I 100% agree with Marvel Heroic Roleplaying. It's how I found and fell in love with #CortexRPG. I like the d616 system too, but MHR resonates more to me.
The Leverage RPG was pretty great too and also underrated.
I am still collecting as many of the older Cortex games that I can find.

#CortexRPG for me, in all its flavors, especially Tales of Xadia, Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, and Smallville. I want to shout about it from every rooftop.
To be fair, since @direwolfdigital.bsky.social purchased and abandoned Cortex, betraying its fans, enthusiasts like me kind of need to step up.

Do you have a ttrpg that in your opinion is so under celebrated that you have appointed yourself head of the PR committee for that game? Where on at least one occasion someone mistakenly assumed you must have worked on it but really you're just unwell about it?
What's that game to you?

My spouse, my kids, and I have all received this season's Flu and COVID-19 vaccines.
We both got ours last week and were able to find a CVS that had some for the kids today. Had to drive an hour to Frederick, MD to get it.
They all did well, not afraid of the needles. Got a vaccine in each arm.
