10K is an awfully small amount of money. If that's for 4 months of work that would be the equivalent of 30K a year if full time. If they want the best, they need to up the money. Of course, some starting artists will apply, everyone needs to start somewhere, but that's a very small amount...

Haven't they basically done something like that with things l like Radiant Citadel?

I have heard a little about her stances, almost all of it second hand. I don't linger in the crowds that follow this stuff, so overall, some of your post may pertain to people like me. If people realized how many anti-POC or discriminatory artists there are out there, how many there have...

Hmmm... Probably, first would be J.R.R. Tolkien....maybe Moorcock exposure. Tarzan? (Tarzan becomes incredibly fantasy after the first book). Then came Wargames...and then D&D. I loved Nickel and Dime SF books back in the day. The old SF Radio shows that came on.

So...Huma looks like Pedro Pascal?

Raistlin is a good Chaotic Evil character. Ironically, though not indicated by that and the author says they are not...Elminister could, in theory, actually, be the perfect Chaotic Evil Character as well. Many CEO's of some major Corporations (if you know them...you know them) are absolutely...

The furor I saw was more to do with the idea that she was using "witches" as a term. In some Traditional Christian theology, witches are those who make a deal with the devil for power and become his "daughters." In a similar vein (this is a D&D site!) they also had Warlocks, which did the same...

Similar situation. I have never read the books, but I had a daughter that absolutely loved them. I didn't really care about them, but she was a huge fan at the time. It was due to her that we went to every Harry Potter film the night they were released. I probably would not have seen the...

I can actually agree with this take. I think it was a mistake to make it into 2 long movies, much less 3 long movies. It allowed them more time to add things (similarly to how they added things to LotR) adding to the Hobbit in more abundance. (One thing that annoys me about LotR is that they...

I normally don't call this out, but did you note how quick people were to jump on a PoC (perhaps one of the few on this site) and try to label me? Does that seem odd? I normally ignore it and give people a pass on it. However, let's get brutally honest here about the complaints people are...

Mickey 17 Forget 58 generations....Mickey only took 18...though with 18...maybe that's just what they needed to set things right.

A very expensive match lighter...

I thought the Lord of the Rings movies were terrible adaptations. Like...horrifically bad adaptations. I'm a Tolkien Loyalist I suppose. However, after I separated the movies from the Books, I saw the movies as iconic pieces of art in and of themselves. As I had already realized that the...

You guys know we are on a D&D site...well...originally a 3e D&D site, and despite my love for the creators of D&D, there is some history that some would notate regarding some actions they had taken previously, some things that went on at the offices, and things far worse than anything dealing...

Despite personal feelings, let's try to center this more on the series than who originally originated the ideas (they do not need to be named). I'm cautiously hoping they keep this more true to the books, but I'm also skeptical that they will with how Hollywood likes to change...
