Brings us back to this classic from 3 years ago:
George’s official title at HBO is CBO: Chief Boobs Officer
Neil Marshall, who directed a few episodes of GOT, gave an interview on “Blackwater” to Empire Online. This section (starts about 7:00) was pretty indicative:
One word: Aerosmith. That was the era when if it had a good theme song then it was a blockbuster.

Seriously just those two lines have me pissing myself... “how hard can it be? Aim the drill at the ground and turn it on....”

Depending on the game and the GM yes. Very much so. I ran a Spelljammer game actually. The players when they did die usually did it doing something insanely foolish, but fun too lol.
