Something which has surprised me about X-Files is that episodes don't usually wrap up tidily. Monsters get away, puzzles aren't resolved, victims are left no better off than they were to start. I am certainly enjoying that aspect to it.

We've been watching The X-Files. It's fun, holds up better than I expected. It free (and somehow ad-free) on 4 on demand.

@mph Maybe because you put text in the post too?

I recommend Colony Wars if you are enjoying your PS1 flight sims.

Wrapped up Blade Runner last night. Well, for now. We all know the odds of returning to a game but I have more I would like to do with this RPG and our arc. I wasn't planning to finish up last night, but we had had three weeks off so I restarted with a clear statement of where the RDU officers (Blade Runners) were in their vague investigation and a bit of time pressure in the form of a warning that Wallace Corp were intending to recall the replicant PC.

So despite the extensive pre-game natter the session was fast and brutal. The bulk of the session was a brutal running gunfight through a residential block, leaving on PC very dead and the other two fleeing the city. Joe said it felt like a good break point and I agreed. It's an appropriately downbeat ending if we don't return and an easy place to pick up from if we do.

I had a great time running it. The book could do with more details on the city but what is there is good. The system is a really nice tight itteration of the Year Zero Engine, I particularly like they way it handles pushing rolls and damage and crits. Recommended.
