"Thanks for coming along with us," Hiromi told the new volunteers, "Yesterday was just too much! Look at the state of Silvi, poor thing, and yet she's here like a trooper!" She referred to all of those who had dropped out of helping in the investigation and added, "It's clearly difficult to...

Me too, seeing as I sell them! (And they sell a LOT better for me when they've got nice design-y covers!)

I'm in for something that links Ravenloft, Innastrad, and the Shadowfell. An adventure might be nice, but a "Guide to..." would be better right now I think.

I expect the kids to age-up one more time to help out their parents, leaving them properly Speed and Wiccan for the Young Avengers (show or movie - probably show). There almost certainly won't be a WandaVision season two, but a sequel show (not just Multiverse of Magic) should be fully expected.

I think that the only thing that I don't like about that gnome, and I'm not passionate about this objection, is the +1 agility. It's pretty much "always on" except when you fight things small or smaller, which makes it somewhat easy to forget (either leaving your AC too high when you fight...

Encounter: Doughty Daggerfordians & Elf Guards vs Orc Attack at the Floshin Gate End Round Three; Begin Round Four

When the others had passed them by, ORB5 flew out of the tree and distracted the orc that was searching for Tommi, giving the lad the perfect opportunity to jump out and slash with gutter. The orc archer fell at Tommi's feet, gurgling and spitting blood. Arrows and javelins continued to strike...

Prediction: Doctor Strange is going to show up at the end and lay waste to Agatha's minions, whoever they might be. Mindless Ones, or something.

Ah. That makes sense.

@dave2008 You gotta edit all the references to "Sovern Elk" out of those entries for the other animals.

I know I didn't see it! But, still. Enough people are familiar that a few lines or a quick montage would do it. I think part of the reason that I don't want to see the origin again is because it was done once kinda meh and once terribly. Sure, they could do it again and do it well, but maybe...

I don't disagree with your conclusion - once every ten years seems fine. F4 have had their origin told more recently than that, though. And between older movies, cartoons, comics, and word-of-mouth, I think we would be hard pressed to find very many people (who would watch a Superman movie) who...

I agree. I kinda hope that when they do Fantastic Four they just start with "That mission went wrong and we got powers!" instead of dragging it out. That's been done. To Death. My favourite Superman Origin in the comics was in All-Star Superman. One Page. Something like four panels, that said...

Hmmm... I'd be happy to take time off, but it seems like we'd want to follow up on this lead ASAP. Let's rest the night, follow up on the lead in the morning, and if that doesn't pan out (or even if it does), try to take more time off after that.

Oh, we are in round-counting (though I have never used initiative in PBP... it just seems like unnecessary work - I just have everything happen simultaneously with priority going to PCs (in roughly post-order, then BGs, then NPCs, but with everything being adjustable for cinematic style. I've...
