The dramatic introduction (or re-introduction) is a cool way to bring in a new character. The formula is pretty simple. Have them do something startling or unexpected in front of the heroes, perhaps saving them from apparent doom, or otherwise intervening in a bad situation. They have no idea who this person is first, or if they can trust them.
It's a classic in movies. "Come with me if you want to live!"
The really fun part in a game is that the heroes don't have to follow any script. They might just shoot the guy! And then you can lead into all of the ensuing shenanigans and complications.

I see the GM is mixing together rule books again. That's a regular arrow by the looks of it, and while the eye spots would be a little bit weaker than the rest of the armor, that's still more effective than I'd expect. Did it have a micro-explosive in the tip or something?
And there's the big counterpoint to having realistic plans in TTRPGs, courtesy of Ben. At that point, you might as well switch game systems and start playing Paranoia to have fun with it. Or have some other way of generating characters. Pete's pretty handy at programming things; I bet he could come up with a random character creator relatively easily. Even just making some pre-gen templates that can be stuck together à la Rogue Legacy could speed things up significantly.
Anyway, it's a bit odd that there's a trooper here already. More accurately, there's a Single trooper here already. Haven't they always been in pairs if there isn't a battle going on before to prevent just this sort of situation? So where's the other one? Already taken down off-screen, and we'll see Lando standing near their remains perhaps?

The Windows tool ScreenVideo offers a very easy screen capturing and films either the whole screen or only a part of it. A moderator function with picture-in-picture integration further enhances the films. This way, presentations, tutorials and documentations are created in resolutions up to 4K. The practical moderator function uses picture-in-picture technology to integrate you directly into the corner of your screen video. All you need is a webcam and off you go!
Inspired by the recent Sabretooth postings, I thought it would be interesting to go back and see what he was like in his first appearance. Was he always the dangerous monster x-fans now know, or a blowhard who can't win even with the deck stacked his favor?

When your mom's a proud Texan celebrating her 64th birthday, you might think ordering a cake that says, "Happy Birthday, Cowgirl!" is a good idea.
And maybe it is, IF your baker writes it down right:
Oops.
Thanks to Cat D. for reminding us that you can never put a price on a mother's love. Especially hers.

I realize that after today's cake this product link is going to look... questionable.
All I can say is, NOT LIKE THAT. :p

The cover illustration isn't helping, is it.

That was part of my pitch, that maybe the DC Universe J'onn felt a little bit in between alien and human, in a way that wasn't a positive for the character, that wasn't a positive for readers. Where he is a little too alien to be relatable to, and maybe a little too human to really be awed by the alienness of him. And so that's part of why I separated the two characters and made John Jones a human being that we can relate to, and make the Martian this really strange alien consciousness that that has strange ideas that maybe that are not so relatable to us, and that's okay, because they're not really relatable to John either, and John's our way in and through John, hopefully we'll come to see whether those ideas are palatable or not. -- Deniz Camp
