A minor detail I love about character creation in Traveller is the ranks (levels) of the Entertainer career. Ranks 0-4? Utter obscurity. But Rank 5? “Famous Performer”. Both ‘anyone can call themselves an artist’ and overnight success that only took 12+ years in one table

Advancement table where Ranks 0-4 are a dash; nothing. The second-to-last line bestows the status of “Famous Performer”

Introducing a protoplasmic goo into my sci-fi game and picking a color the players wouldn’t riff on was the most fraught part of it: Brown, Yellow, White are out. Black (Prometheus rip-off). Orange? (Juice.) Pink? (Pepto Bismol.) So what did I go with?

To clarify, “that scene from The Lego Movie” the author of Mayor of Noobtown is referencing is when Wildstyle looks around a Lego city alley and sees parts she can appropriate to make a getaway vehicle. This opaque reference is meant to describe the video game mechanic of crafting.
