    D&D Movie Takes Cues From GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

    Here's what I'm curious about. Tie-in fiction. A novelization is a sure bet. Hopefully some surrounding fiction.as well (like the short stories released as e-books before The Force Awakens) The Realms has a rich history of published fiction. So knowing that it almost certainly will exist, who...

    D&D Movie Takes Cues From GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

    Not to mention Harry Potter's 8 (soon to be 9) movies. And several Narnia. Wizard of Oz? Dragonheart? Clash of the Titans? The other Clash of the Titans? Percy Jackson? Eragon? Malificent? The Neverending Story? Yeah, there's been a few.

    D&D Movie Takes Cues From GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

    I understand the concern, but am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. Yes, there's an obvious correlation but GOTG did not invent humorous ensemble films. The description says they ARE trying to break the formula of fantasy films like Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. And that was Gunn's...

    Eclectic News Items: American Football RPG, Low Magic, 24-hr Online Con, Critical Role

    Never heard of slate.com but good review of CR. Of course, I don't think enworlders are the target audience for this review.

    I only count 45 cards. To be the full deck, wouldn't there be 54?

    BUBBLEGUMSHOE - Not So Hard Boiled Teen Detectives From Evil Hat

    Why not go back even further? Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Boxcar Children... Make sure the villain drives a black sedan. The Hardy Boys a nd Nancy Drew stories taught me that the villain always drives a black sedan.

    Hasbro, Mattel, and D&D Makes Three?

    I don't think it's a rights issue. They haven't had the "rights" to Dungeons & Dragons in decades. (They can't make new episodes) What they own, aside from the episodes themselves, is the copyright to original characters and their likenesses. I don't need any stats for Hank, Uni and Venger. In...

    D&D 5E (2014) Another 5e Creature Decks Preview (5th Edition Stats & High-Quality Creature Art on Each Trading Card)

    Why do people always want to go straight to the tarrasque? It's such a cliche. I have never used the tarrasque in one of my games, let alone frequently enough to need a handy statcard. In my opinion, the tarrasque's only valid purpose is to reset the campaign world when the PCs have gotten out...

    Hasbro, Mattel, and D&D Makes Three?

    I think D&D has little to fear from a merger. Geek culture is at an all time high as far as big business is concerned. Awareness and acceptance and even interest in all things geekdom runs rampant. Big Bang Theory, Critical Role and PAX acquisitions incorporated games are continuing to raise...

    Potential Hasbro and Mattel Merger?

    And Theme Parks. But Lego lets other companies manage the non-toy uses of their brand. Of what you mentioned, Lego is focused only on the bionicles. Lego does what it does to very high standards. It leads in an industry it more or less created and has been maintaining standards for excellence...

    Potential Hasbro and Mattel Merger?

    But who licensed it? If Hasbro owns D&D and the publishing rights to Clue... I think I can solve this mystery.

    Is There A New STAR TREK RPG Coming?

    I have little hope for the 50th anniversary blitz. The new movie has space elves and is directed by the Fast and the Furious guy (At best, a strange choice), and the new tv series is months late for the hype and will be pay-to-watch. The anniversary feels rushed (eager to capitalize on the...

    Potential Hasbro and Mattel Merger?

    It was. In North America, Hasbro/Parker Brothers owns the publishing rights to Clue.

    Potential Hasbro and Mattel Merger?

    They'll argue whether the merged company should be Hasbro-Mattel or Mattel-Hasbro and that will be the end of it. Barbie and GI Joe will continue to have to cross enemy lines to foster their forbidden love. Edit HasMat? :D
