Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but I'm a fan of Interpol and I can give some recs for bands I consider similar, not individual songs.

  • Cage the Elephant
  • Young the Giant

It's hard to not sound snarky here, but you could play another system that's not seen as a commodity to be passed around Corps for profit.

I switched a couple years back, and honestly couldn't see going back even before their licensing drama. As a GM, their books are so hard to make work, and expensive for what you get. D&D became too much of a product, and the game has suffered. 3rd party stuff has always had better value and usability compared to WotC books (few exceptions), and other systems give much better support for GM's to actually run the game.

The coolest shit you do in D&D is the stuff you're group comes up with at the table, and you get that with any system. Tencent also can't buy that, so there's nothing stopping you just playing 5th Edition, and not 6th (or One, whatever Marketing ends up calling it).

There's truth to what you say, and I'm not personally a fan of any of the Baldwins, but most of the prosecution of this case has just seemed spiteful and nonsensical to me.

Like, there are cases to be made for Baldwin or the production company to be liable, but they seem to be framing everything as him just straight up murdering the woman, simply because he was holding the weapon. I'd say there are people behind the scenes that were much more responsible for the tragedy than the Actor that was in the scene and handed a hot weapon (including Baldwin, the producer not the actor).

You have the right instinct, narrative takes a backseat to player comfort. Don't worry if it makes sense in-game, that's not a real concern. Do whatever tying up of narrative threads you want, after you're sure the player is comfortable out-of-game.

If the player wants, just let them start the next game with a new sheet. If they want to do a sendoff, do it at the top of the session. If they don't want to acknowledge the old character, then they just evaporate and a new one is inserted.

Ultimately you're playing with friends, and the reason everyone is there is to have fun. The group's fun should take precedent over everything else.

Star wars 5e mod (i hope that's the name) is dope as hell. They ran it for a season of Dimension 20, it looked really fun if you like the crunch.

I think them and Moderna turned the money down because they'd have to share the patent with the government. Trump offered them money, they didn't take it.

Is there a next season? I'm unfamiliar with the book series, and that finale was pretty satisfying for me. I just assumed it was one-and-done.
