Regenerating this thread for a very small update: the series is not dead, and will return with a Christmas special in 2026. So that's a decently long break. The (possibly) bad news: RTD is still at the helm. So he's got a whole year to come up with something workable.

The Skatalites - Skalloween

The Toasters: FrankenSka

Research Me Obsessively - Brittany Snow

A cape management sim from the crew at AdHoc - a renegade mob of escaped TellTale devs - and the Critical Role crew. Bob Robertson/MechaMan (Aaron Paul) is facing forced and humiliating retirement from hero life. However redemption - of a sort - comes with a job offer from Blonde Blazer (Laura Bailey: Critical Role/Vox Machina/etc). All he has to do is use his experience to match which super(s) ought to be matched to which mission, help guide them through, and use his hacking and tactical skills to keep them ahead of the enemy. Sounds simple enough...? Similar to the Telltale model, the game is released in bi-weekly chunks, and while the management piece is important, managing and motivating your team via dialogue trees is also going to determine your success or failure. Paul and Bailey are joined by Jeffrey Wright, deadpanning his way through some choice lines, plus assorted Critical Role castmembers and a number of their friends and family. Visuals look decent and a nice balance of humour and drama. If the game proves successful, there will also be a tie-in TTRPG, live-action events, an animated series, and, of course, merch. What do we think?

Visions Of Atlantis - Hellfire (New discovery: wildly overdramatic Euro orchestral goth pirate metal? Arr, that be gladdening me black heart, me hearties...)

FEX - Subways Of Your Mind

We offer… …Louvreage.

KISS - New York Groove

Frehley’s Comet - Into The Night

It's tricky to piece together exactly how this is going to play out, but having read a few different pieces... . ..seems that Simon goes looking for Trevor - as one of the very few (sorta-) approachable people who's been involved with superheroics, but is also an actor. And while Trevor's a cantankerous, manipulative, needy old bugger, he does come to realise exactly how much Simon wants this and is going pretty much Method to get it. So he swings in behind him. Though whether Trevor's help will prove useful, backfire horrifically/hilariously, or both, remains to be seen...

D’Angelo - Cruisin’

Peter Gabriel ft Brian May & Phil Collins - Sledgehammer

SHEL - Enter Sandman
