Movie Favorite

"And that suggests another favorite film of mine, Army of Shadows, which in a way uses film not for a psychological study of a political question but really for a philosophical study of a basic human (as well as basic political) question: the question of killing. At any rate, I think Army of Shadows upset me more than any film I’ve ever seen. This one also deals, like Au revoir les enfants and Lacombe, Lucien with World War II. A leader of the French Resistance has been betrayed to the authorities by a young informer. The leader was arrested but has escaped, and now he has the young informer in custody in a small house. According to the rules of the Resistance, he and the three men working with him have to kill the young informer. I’m still upset when I think about that movie. It’s profound."

Not The Best Social Deduction
The Resistance suffers, not because of any inherent flaw in the game, but because other games do social deduction better.

If you are looking for simplicity, and a fun theme, then Secret Hitler is a great intro into social deduction.

If you are looking for complexity, then the classes in Avalon are much better.

The struggle of Centauri Prime continues as Vir begins to form a resistance to the Keepers and their hold on his home planet. A good story, but it does fall victim to the middle book syndrome with no real climax just a set up for the final in the series.
