Let’s start with something different.
This article from the Human Brain Project outlines the power requirements for the human brain and the results are staggering. The human brain uses only 20 watts of power to work. That’s the equivalent of a computer monitor…on sleep mode.
In contrast an AI requires 2.7 billion watts just to simulate even basic cognitive functions.
This is the kind of article that just blows my mind and gets the creative juices flowing. So many sci-fi ideas, and it kinda flips The Matrix on its head.
Christina, thoughts?

Game ideas?
EN World has an article about the May 2025 Kickstarter for Deathstalker the TTRPG. You all remember 1983’s Deathstalker right.
Deathstalker…Conan with more boobs
It was a Roger Corman rip of Conan and it has a bit of a cult following. Now I was never a big fan of Deathstalker. I felt it was one of Corman’s less interesting and very un-original films. But somebody at EN World loves Deathstalker because the wrote not 1, but 2 articles about the movies (yes, they made a sequel) and the game.

Does everything deserve a TTRPG? I mean just looking at Corman’s filmography and we can find several ideas that would likely make cool and interesting games. Death Race 2000, Deathsport, Rock and Roll High School, and even Frankenstein Unbound are all ripe for a little TTRPG fun.
But Deathstalker?
Christina, I know you love the B-Movie as much as I do, what’s your thoughts on this one?
