    RIP Morbius

    So apparently Sonic the Hedgehog 2 AND Fantastic Beasts 3 are releasing this week. EDIT: Looks like Fantastic Beasts 3 got moved to next week, which may be even worse for Morbius in some ways. This means that Morbius' box office take will be competing with not one but two popular franchises...

    Something That Soured My Interest In The New Morbius Movie

    I think a good angle to approach Morbius would have been to explore science versus the supernatural, with supernatural enemies that force Morbius to use his skills as a scientist to thwart their plot while fighting them with his powers as a living vampire; this could have been a possible set up...

    Something That Soured My Interest In The New Morbius Movie

    The screenwriters for Morbius (Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless) also wrote Dracula Untold and Gods of Egypt. If you enjoyed those movies, everyone is entitled to their personal preferences. I predict however that there's going to be a ton of distancing from this movie for the Sony and Marvel...

    D&D General How has D&D changed over the decades?

    When Thac0 became 0cahT, it was a much needed turning point for the game.

    Religion in Your Campaign – Priests and Congregations

    PRIEST -- Merriam Webster definition someone who is authorized to perform the sacred rites of a religion especially as a mediatory agent between humans and God One could say that Clerics are magic priests. Paladins who serve deities could be considered warrior priests.

    Religion in Your Campaign – Priests and Congregations

    When the campaign uses a polytheistic setting with actual deities and miracles known as fact in the world, some knowledge of the afterlife would be a must-have in my opinion, so that people won't be hesitant to embrace a faith due to wondering what the other gods have to offer for eternal rest...

    D&D 5E (2014) Announcement Next Week--What Hints For Upcoming D&D Books?

    I think a sprinkle of planar stuff would be good for Spelljammer, if just to acknowledge that the universe is part of a greater multiverse, perhaps through planar portals that can be reached by, perhaps only by, spelljamming. Some planes or demiplanes might even only be accessible by finding...

    D&D 5E (2014) Thay Land of the Red Wizards Available From Realms Creator Ed Greenwood

    Might be a typo for 105 years, which would be 1490 DR.

    D&D 5E (2014) Thay Land of the Red Wizards Available From Realms Creator Ed Greenwood

    Considering how Szass Tam tried (and failed) to set up a Dread Ring array for a powerful ritual of godhood ascension, the secret even Mystra helps to keep might be a convergence of leylines; a hub of the world's natural flows of magical energy might be located either permanently or cyclically...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why do cities in Faerun have fortified walls?

    It's practically every army by medieval standards. The professionals are typically a small number compared to the infantry fodder that makes the bulk of armed forces, usually made up primarily of conscripts. It costs a lot of money and resources to have people professionally trained in olden...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why do cities in Faerun have fortified walls?

    The citizens of a city-state in an olden era fantasy world ARE the standing army. Every farmer, blacksmith, baker, etc. is a potential conscript for war. They are permanent recruit-ables and will typically get paid a reward or get a chance to do looting if they show up for duty as called for...

    Worlds of Design: Doing it All Over Again

    Unlike almost all video games, a tabletop campaign can explore the afterlife, making death a meaningful adventure in of itself, and a death can affect the world in unpredictable ways by what has been set up in the relationships and interactions of the dead character. In a videogame, death is...

    WotC WotC Has A New President

    Given his love for the game, I'm expecting the new Overlord Cocks to make Magic the Gathering cross over with everything. Planescape with Magic the Gathering planes sprinkled all around. Live action Magic the Gathering for movies and series. Barbie becomes a 10/10 Colorless Planeswalker Sliver...

    D&D 5E (2014) Changes to D&D's Spellcasting Monsters: Streamlining Your Way To Bliss

    If a good number of viable reaction spells are added to a campaign (homebrew and 3rd party necessary for this), counterspell might not become annoyingly overused. I also like a home rule of not allowing reactions to be used in chain with other reactions, unless the reactions after the first are...

    D&D 5E (2014) Lightning Bolt should be better.

    The DMG guidelines on damage for spells should not be used when designing spells imo. I get the feeling that the person who made them was thinking about monsters damaging PCs rather than PCs damaging monsters. Hit Point values are calculated very differently for PCs versus monsters, which needs...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Bible Is A New 5E Setting

    People will soon be able to battle Jesus Christ then loot his body for Roman coins and sanctified magic blood. :devilish: Kidding aside, this project could go either way from being harmless fun to bad enough to trigger violent extremists. May the grace of God be with the developers.
