My cautious optimism dating back to the teaser trailer continues to tick upward. It certainly sounds like something I will like. I was at Gary Con this past weekend and they were bussing people out to a theatre in Lake Geneva for free preview screenings on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, but I...

I backed this project (we were so innocent in... 2015? Good grief), and I've thought this since the very beginning. I know it's a real word, but it makes for an awkward mouthful of a title, like you've just taken a bite of something when someone asks what it's called.

Yup! I requested these a couple of years back after going down the rabbit hole of defunct "living" campaigns and he very promptly sent them along. Had the opportunity to play in his flumph heist game (you heard me) at Gamehole Con last year and had a grand time. A long-haul creator with an...

John Wick 4 is out the week before and Super Mario Bros. is out less than a week later, so even if it turns out to be good, I'm afraid it might get lost in the new release shuffle. 😬 It may have to settle for second place, and maybe hope for some longevity bopping around the middle of the Top 10...

I will almost certainly pick these up, despite being MANY years past "YA." The "junior novelization" also comes in a less-deluxe paperback version (i.e. no color photo section). It looks like my local Barnes and Nobles are only carrying the paperback. I already have the comic prequel on...

And his Flash-Thompson-in-two-scenes-of-Spider-Man money! That's gotta be good for, like, stocking the mini-fridge, right?

I collect vinyl (and still buy CDs; those are what I listen to in the car) and am a sucker for colored and novelty vinyl, so those things intersecting with gaming represent a lot of my interests. I'm not the biggest fan of Riegel's (or Scanlan's) schtick, but I like the show and its instrumental...

I've never DMed official WotC 5e content (mostly affiliated-but-not-official AL mods at conventions), but as a player I'm in the middle of a multi-year Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign. We started in late 2020 over Discord (not to my taste) and gradually transitioned to in-person as the COVID-19...

It was very strange that they hyped a fifth "mystery mini" in the box ahead of this release, even made a big to-do about the announcement on social media, and it turned out to be... an intellect devourer? Maybe they were hoping to stoke chatter about the possibility of mind flayers being in the...

I don't envy the filmmakers that have to try and make D&D work as a movie, especially with so many different ideas of what people want from it and an already embarrassing history of adaptations. I might eat crow on this six weeks from now, but I think it looks really promising and I hope it...

I was thinking the exact same thing. As cool as it is to see systems like DCC and Mork Borg get so much third-party love, I've long felt C&C has deserved some attention there (to the point where I was mulling over producing a Gongfarmer's Almanac/Crawling Under a Broken Moon-style zine for it)...

M.T. has gotten into the habit of listing the contributing artists at the end of each of these reviews; it looks like this cover is by James Warhola.

io9 presented the cover reveal as an "exclusive" on Monday, so it must have been decreed eligible for release and updated since then.

Pretty much every official movie poster from the last fifteen years or so looks like ass. Bad compositing, smoothed faces and distorted bodies plunging directly into the Uncanny Valley, the same old compositions, etc. This poster isn't dissimilar from, say, Spider-Man: No Way Home's, and that...

I encountered this scenario as part of the Expeditions/Adventurers League at the time. Our party of 1st-level pregens were sent up to the palisades to defend the city, the dragon bears down on us... and my half-orc fighter just said, "Nope," and headed back down the stairs. I was confused when...

Saw some on sale at a local Barnes and Noble, if you have one near you.

Not to take away from the joke, but isn't she "Scout" now?

Yeah, I actually looked them up after I posted. Might be worth taking a flyer on for novelty's sake.

I'd be curious to try this out as well, though as a heathen colonist I am ruled out. Perhaps Diamond/Alliance will pick it up for distribution Stateside, like they did with Eaglemoss. There's this alternate world of UK-only D&D ephemera that I should really check out. Were those "Annuals" any good?

All of that sounds like Hell on Earth to me. Except the Luigi part.
