I remember when the game began and you started on the cliffside, I would take two steps back to the left and the character would fall off the cliff, ending the game. I would then laugh like an idiot for a few moments then reboot the game.

I personally love the Pacesetter Action Table used with Chill, Timemaster, Star Ace, etc. It was simple to use, could be used for EVERYTHING (combat, skill checks, investigation results, etc.), and made the games themselves fully intercompatiable.

Not a GI Joe guy, but when I read "Ice Cream Soldier", I immediately thought of DC's Sgt. Rock stories. ICS was a member of Easy Company, so-named because he loved winter combat missions and was always ice-cold under pressure. Nickname later changed to just "Ice".

Oh no. You ate the "twigs and bark" cereal, didn't you? Kid's cereal is the only manna that keeps me young anymore. I'll watch Bugs Bunny toons while shovelling Capn Crunch into my cereal hole every Saturday morn.

Sniderman's Rules For Cereal:
1. Box MUST have a cartoon character on it. No exceptions.
2. Cereal MUST be colored with some neon florescent dye -- a color not found in nature that hurts to look directly at it.
3. Cereal MUST be presweetened with more sugar than found in an actual bowl of sugar.

I use Discord and/or Zoom with at-home dice rolling and theater of the mind. Maybe using a whiteboard for quick battlemaps. Easy-peasy, accessible to everyone, and costs nothing or very little to play. Been doing it for years.

Love Hitch, but not a fan of this movie. It's like buying a book with 12 chapters, then reading only chapters 4 through 9. Not sure how it started. Not sure how it ended. It's just...."there".
