What I find fascinating about the most recent fungus I posted about is that it activates at sundown. First off, it's just an amazing example of how cool nature is. But secondly the idea of a monstrous infection activating in the dark would make for a great D&D threat.

We're back! (Photo credit: sciencenews.com) E Muscae is a fungus that infects flies and always kills them at sundown. The infected fly climbs a high plant and glues its mouthparts to the stem. Then at sundown it opens its wings and dies. There's a theory that the fungus always kills at...

Imagine if they had stuck with the original predator design!

I wouldn't turn away any of those fries! But of them all, battered are my favorite. I love the crisp bite and seasoned flavor.

Maybe after they'll do a Fantastic Four - Fab Four mashup? The Fabtastic Four! George Harrison, aka The Psychedelic Torch! John Lennon, aka Mr. Imagine Paul McCartney, aka The Invisible Fool on the Hill Ringo Starr, aka The Beatle

He's going to play George Harrison in the upcoming Beatles movie.

I've always wanted to run a campaign in which the first round of characters retire at 5th Level. The second round of characters start at 5th Level and are the children / mentees / students etc of the previous characters. The second round of characters retires at 10th Level, and then a third...

Nice setup! These days I just have my laptop for my adventure notes, a notepad to keep track of initiative and enemy hit points, a big poster paper with a 1 inch grid, and some markers. Also the fishing gear kit that I keep my minis collection in.

I went on a long bike ride today and came up with some ideas... Baron Von Holst was legendary for his academic prowess and endless greed. He wanted everything, including knowledge of the universe and its workings, and the countless treasures of history. When he mysteriously vanished a...

There's a book my son loved called 'The Skull' by Jon Klassen. It's a folk tale in which a girl runs away from home to a castle where she befriends a talking skull. The only problem is that every night a headless skeleton comes to the castle, trying to capture the skull. I thought this would...

I think this is a really fun idea. If you replace fairies or demons with aliens, it creates a fun twist on King Arthur and other medieval tales. Merlin is a half-alien, the "lady in the lake" is a holographic projection from a crashed alien ship, Excalibur is a weapon built with alien tech...

Did you know that you can drive 4,000 miles from San Francisco and still be in California? You just keep driving back and forth from San Francisco to LA over and over and over again.

Have I told you how big the US is??? (Kidding, I know that's something that folks are always doing.)

I can only speak to my own experience that I find it more distracting to have the digital facsimile of an actor rather than a new actor. Carrie Fischer lives on Earth. Princess Leia is the one who lives in space. I don't need to see Carrie Fischer to know it's Princess Leia.

I fully agree with this. To me there is no reason why another actor can't play Luke Skywalker, Indiana Jones, etc. What really takes me out of it is when they digitally de-age an actor to show them as the younger version of the character. For so long in movies audiences have accepted that...

I am!
