    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    I thought that showing the origin story in a TV show montage celebrating 4 yeas of the Fantastic Four was a good way to catch up the audience whilst also giving background to the world we're in.

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    I'm not sure how wild it is to have a movie about the Fantastic Four focus on the Fantastic Four.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

    I thought the film was worth seeing for the production design alone. I loved the 60’s retro future look of everything. Apparently it was the same design team that worked on the Loki series. Galactus and Silver Surfer were also highlights, but everyone was perfectly cast.

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    So once a player learns the spell 'control weather' the game is no longer simulationist? ;) I'm just kidding. I know what you meant, I just thought it was a funny example.

    Ozzy has passed. Pour one out for the Prince of Darkness.

    I'm planning to snort some ants later.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

    Yeah, Quinn as the Human Torch is probably what I'm most looking forward to in the film. OK, him and Galactus.

    I hope this is as good as Prey and Killer of Killers.

    D&D's October Product Revealed to Be Stranger Things Tie-In

    The narrative around here went from 'WotC are idiots for not making more tie in products' to 'I can't believe WotC are making more tie in products, what a bunch of sellouts' so fast I got whiplash.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

    I was a fan of that version too, would have loved to see them get a sequel and do the Judge Death storyline. I liked the whacky storylines in 2000 AD more than Judge Dredd specifically, so probably why I can see Taika working. I can understand being worried if you want a more grounded Dredd again.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

    I read yesterday there's talk of Taika directing a new Judge Dredd film, which I think could work.

    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    The more I think back on the movie, the more I liked it and the more I think it worked. It just took a while for my mind to get used to a Superman in the Gunn style, but his mix of sentimental and silly as actually a good fit. I'm extremely keen for Supergirl now. It did make me wonder about...

    D&D General Have you ever retired a character?

    As the title says. I'm not talking about writing an ending for your character when the campaign is over. Have you ever retired a character and made a new one instead to continue playing? If so, why? I've only ever retired a character once, (that I can recall) he fell in love with an NPC and...

    D&D General Weapon Mastery - Yea or Nay?

    The enemy only has 1 hp left and your weapon has the Graze property, so no need to make that attack roll. More time saved. ;)

    D&D General Weapon Mastery - Yea or Nay?

    If weapon mastery means combat can take longer due to the extra rolls involved, but ends earlier due to extra PC power, it sounds like it all evens out in the end. ;)

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Gladiator: The Narrative Dissonance

    High level fighters can get multiple attacks. Gladiators are high level fighters therefore they get multiple attacks. I'm not sure I see the narrative dissonance.

    D&D General Weapon Mastery - Yea or Nay?

    The campaign I'm playing in where we switched to the updated rules has been a little slow to adopt weapon mastery. We don't bother with it a lot of the time, it's more something that players will pull out during a tough fight or if there's a specific reason to use an ability.

    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    Thinking back, I can’t remember a moment where Clark changes into Superman. It’s possible I just dont recall it, it was a pretty busy film. Not that it has to have that, just interesting to leave out something that iconic.

    The point being, turn based combat means one person acts at a time.

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Turn based combat. Eg: If you line up a million people and each one uses a free action to pass a piece of paper (or whatever) from one person to the next, you can move that piece of paper an infinite distance in 6 seconds, based on how many people you can line up.
