I’m always on the lookout for places to find Timspiration for my games, like my Appendix Lit Book Club. Like books, movies can be a treasure trove of content, offering rich visuals, compelling characters, and even plots or twists that can be used in tabletop roleplaying adventures. When it came to finding a theme (love a good theme), the year 1999 stood out unparalleled—a year packed with films, there were over 400 movies release in USA and Canada alone. Some groundbreaking that still resonate today, others…probably could have been left in the 90s.
