Attack on a caravan is always a good one. The PCs weren't in the same place in the caravan (so they wouldn't have reason to have chatted) but when it's attacked, they have to come together to survive.

I'm a fan of, among other things, folklore. America has plenty of folklore, including lore about "the crossroads." According to lore, Robert Johnson, considered the father of the Delta Blues, sold his soul to the Devil at a crossroads for the ability to master the blues. It is the American...

You can blame technological "improvements" for that. Flat-panel screens prioritize thinness. The trade-off is in the speakers. For starters, the speakers have to be able to fit in the panel, meaning that they are going to be fairly weak to begin with. Then, the speakers have to fit in the...

Adventuring season: Instead of going off to war, folks go off to kill monsters.

But that's the thing... They're not from Emperor's Shaddam's planet. They're from Salusa Secundus, a prison planet. The point being that they are raised in an impossibly harsh environment where only the absolute strongest, most savage, and most ruthless survive - with the obvious parallel being...

Because it's fun.

This is also why most time travel tropes fail. Transporting to the exact same coordinates at a different point in time leaves you in empty space.

It is a thing. A hilarious thing. https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2021/9/1/22652236/ted-lasso-roy-kent-cgi-conspiracy-theory

I think you'd be wrong there. If the conspiracy theories are to be believed, and all conspiracy theories exist to be believed (but not proven), then Brett Goldstein from "Ted Lasso" is not a real person and Roy Kent is, in fact, a CGI character.

Now I want there to be NORM* dragons. Uranium, radium, actinium, astatine, thorium, francium, polonium, bismuth, and radon. Now THOSE dragons will mess you up for generations. *(Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material)

That's pretty much the general consensus. Dune Messiah is very good. Children of Dune is quite good. God Emperor of Dune is good but has really sort of lost the thread. And Heretics and Chapterhouse are drek.

If Ernie play's Dave Arneson, not Gary Gygax, then who plays Ernie Gygax?

BATMAN: Clark, we need to stop your arch-nemesis Lex Luthor befo- SUPERMAN: Why did you call me Clark? BATMAN: Because your secret identity is Clark Kent, a mild-mannered reporter for a major metropolitan newspaper. I know that because I am Batman, the World's Greatest Detective. SUPERMAN...

Easy! Will Farrell and John C. Reilly!

Almost 12 years... Impressive! That's how you necro!

So, having watched Dune (2021), I'm not overly impressed with the writing or the acting. As pertains to the writing, enormous liberties were taken with the script. It's, at least in my opinion, a very dumbed-down version of Dune. The acting is fairly wooden as well, which is to be expected from...

Hold on... You know revivify?!

Spoiler: Ted Lasso is an American and he doesn't really understand soccer.

What about Brad Pitt? Or Aerosmith rhythm guitarist Brad Whitford? Or retired journeyman QB Brad Johnson?

Stories tell of a wondrous time where panes of obsidian glass would show all manner of moving images; people carried small panes of manmade glass on their person that could let them speak to anyone on the planet or deliver any bit of information on any subject imaginable, and; the bodies of...
