What film/series is the biggest source of quotes in your game?

Is it too cliched to say "Monty Python"?


I wouldn't say that all of our quotes derive from classic 1970s/80s British comedy, but a substantial number can be traced back to Monty Python, Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Tom Baker-era Doctor Who, and their ilk. These probably make up less than a quarter of the overall quotes, with a hefty proportion of Princess Bride, Star Wars, Aliens, classic 80s action movies, and a variety of other sources depending on what genre we're playing.

I actually think that regular silly accents play a stronger role in our games than quotes.

They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin
