I've almost got enough people that I'm thinking about running a cycling game. Thinking about something Warehouse 13 or Stargate style where each session will be a mission. I'll have players sign up for which mission they're available and they'll be the "away team". I'm hoping it reduces the scheduling nonsense.
That is the second time I have heard of Warehouse 13 in the past week.
I have been rewatching Eureka because it is one of my favorite shows, and a show I loved I think before Star Trek. What I never knew was that Warehouse 13 was a show that had crossover and existed. Good friend of mine talked about it the other day, so I downloaded it, and when I am done Eureka, I am going to start watching Warehouse 13.
Yeah, Warehouse 13 falls squarely in the peak of SyFy Channel’s “this is super campy but it’s fun” era when they were trying to rebrand. Super low budget special effects, bad CGI, etc… If you end up liking it, you may also enjoy Sanctuary, which is a sort of spin on the X-Men concept. It’s from that same era. Warehouse 13 is basically “magic item of the week” while Sanctuary is more “monster of the week”.
This comment just reminded me of something. I actually have heard of Warehouse 13 before. A friend tried to get me to watch it many years ago when I was rewatching Eureka at the time. And I refused. He pitched Warehouse 13 as a magic item of the week type show in such a way that he completely removed any sense of personality from the show. Like, I don't know a single thing about the show other than the fact that it's a warehouse and there are items in it. He didn't tell me a single thing about any of the characters, meanwhile in Eureka, the only thing I care about are the characters. Especially Sheriff Jack Carter, who is my husband. One of many.
Yeah, you'll have fun with W13. Definitely a found family vibe, with good characters and chemistry. I've found a lot of rewatch value, a comfort show, in a similar vein to Eureka.
