If the Nazis managed to invade the Northwestern United States, America would have much bigger problems than trying to find Bigfoot

EU Han Solo was killed by Native Americans and Chewie was Bigfoot. It was only a matter of time (at least until The EmpireDisney acquired everything) before a ship containing R2D2 also arrived.

What. The. Fuck.

That was never canon. It was part of a series of silly "what-if" comics. This particular story featured a cameo by Indiana Jones. You can read it here.

I've been looking at Shadow of the Demon Lord, a dark fantasy RPG that seems to be a bit of a grab bag mechanics-wise: 4 attributes, numerous characteristics derived from those, dice rolling involved d20s and d6s, also tracks both Insanity and Corruption. It takes place in a world on the verge of Armageddon, with the titular Demon Lord causing the world to become more and more craptastic as he/she/it gets closer.

I'm hoping that someone here has tried it, and can offer their insights on how well it works. Or doesn't work.

Is that a fucking sand castle pokemon

Is this what pokemon has become

You're right, let's go back to the days when we had the pokeball pokemon and the upside-down pokeball pokemon. Not to mention the literal piles of sludge. Or the pokemon that evolved into triplets of themselves!

: "...fight what? I'm sorry, can someone fill me in on what's going to happen next?"

: "Yeah yeah, settle down. I'm not gonna go running off with your paper." The mage was momentarily intrigued by Astera's mention of their "world", but she had more important things to think about. Such as the document.

Truth be told, it did look rather authentic. Not that she was much of an expert on the subject of course, but it was clearly quite old and the writing was in a style she never saw outside of Kizamo's oldest libraries. Sometimes growing up in a city of education and magic had its perks.

Jasmine weighed her options. Her "weekend" has just started, and she had no plans other than tidying up her modest home until she went back to work in a couple of days. She could follow this crazy bunch around and get a better idea of whether this was worth getting involved in. If it was, she would have a fair shot at ancient treasure and knowledge. If it was bogus, she'd know soon enough and have a crazy story to tell her fellows back at the airshipyard. She decided to make the jump.

: "Well...this does look pretty interesting. I guess you can count me in. Luckily I always carry a tome for self-defense." Jazz returned the paper to Astera and crammed the last bit of beef sandwich in her mouth. Time to get moving, she guessed.

Jasmine held up her hands in a "calm thyself" gesture, facing the weirdo in the mask.

: "Sloooow down, pal. I haven't agreed to anything yet. Besides, I'm not a fighter. I can do magic, sure, but I work with ships. Not bandits or monsters."
