Mutant Chronicles: Platypus Nostalgia
There were too many games. I didn't have time for a 40k knock off. Blood Bowl, Man of War, Necromunda, 40k, and Fantasy Battles all needed time and funding. Seige of the Citadel was frightening and fascinating (there's a special place in my psyche for the Ezoghoul), but getting into the whole Mutant Chronicles was a bridge too far. Imagine my nostalgic delight, then, when I discovered the 2008 movie Mutant Chronicles staring Ron Pearlman! It has all the best parts of Seige of the Citadel and no 40k shoulder pads. It's like a Steam Punk "Doom". It's light watching, but I did enjoy the movie's theme: "The Darkest Age is Yet to Come: Have Faith!". It's not just the theme of the movie, it's also the mechanical principle upon which it runs. I would love to have a sequel that focuses on "Where will you put your faith?" It's a critical discussion for our present moment. Anyhow, above is my personal version of The Mutant Chronicle...
