Jason Mamoa's pet project about the Unification and colonisation of the Kingdom of Hawaii

So I picked up Edgar Rice Burroughs Pellucidar novel this morning and dipped into the world of savage dinosaurs, pyschic pteradon oppressors, cannibal apemen and pulp explorers from the surface. Anyway I started wondering if there had ever been a TTRPG treatment of Pellucidar, its varied...

I've been enjoying this series, its a biblical faith-based programme and thus PG but it does a good job of capturing the history and political intrigue of Sauls Kingdom as well as incorporating the more fantastic elements of Giants, Visions, Prophecy and magic.

The first couple of episodes of James Guns new series Creature Commandos are up and while they werent bad, I'm not sure it was a good choice for rebooting the DCU unless this is a sign of what James Guns vision of the DCU is going to be - irreverent, violent, frenetic and definitely not catering...

I just had a look at the Bastion Rules on DnDBeyond and strangely enough Bastions dont have a "Embassy facility" which might be used if players wanted to involve themselves in diplomacy and political manouverings. The rules allow Spying through the Pubs Research:Gather Information action and I...

I was flicking through Dragon Magazine 241 (1997) and in an article by Roger Moore about adding additional PC races (including Derro, Skulks, Jermlaine and Dopplegangers) came across the following quote: "The GREYHAWK® campaign, like all others, is open to the development of new PC races...

So I just had a look at the new Human entry and noted that it says "Humans are as diverse in appearance as the people of Earth" I know that Earth is part of the DnD multiverse and that there have been portals between Earth and the DnD Realms, but with this reference being so prominent I am...

So Calibans and Mongrelfolk are DnD lineages that occur in Ravenloft and I'm currently considering a game in which they show up - including a friendly Caliban character based on Quasimodo (Acolyte, Bellringer (Bard)). But then I got to thinking about the issue of his 'misshapen' hunchback...

So after seeing the new Copper Dragon art and noting that they are social creatures I got to thinking about Copper Dragon Lairs and the kinds of society(s) that might gather around them. So heres your challenge The Copper Mesa is nestled within a series of rugged hills and mesas, characterized...

while the humans and animals look great, the Dwarves are horrible and the Queen is definitely the fairest one of all

Out of South Korea comes reports that a civil service Robot employed to deliver documents and provide public information and promotion was found broken and unresponsive at the bottom of a six-and-a half foot staircase after what eyewitnesses reported as unusual behaviour - moving in circles and...

So mundane animals: ranging from tiny butterflies flitting amongst the cabbages, pigeons in the town square, flocks of sheep grazing the hills, deer in the forest and seagulls squawking over the sea cliffs - do they ever appear in your games, even just as background flavour? Do you use any real...

So while many people see the influence of Tolkien on DnD, Gary Gygax himself said that while the success of Tolkien did encourage him to develop the game, the overall influence was minimal. Instead he sites Conan the Conqueror as seminal influence on his “concepts of adventure”. Conan was first...

So taking inspiration from the other Most Iconic threads I got to thinking about Iconic Weapons from Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Modern era too. So name the top 3 that come to mind Any medium but nothing DnD. For real world weapons be specific to why its iconic My list: 1 Excalibur 2 Dirty Harrys .44...

So I’ve never watched One Peice before, only knowing what it was via my nephew who was a fan. My impression from the few glances over his shoulder was that it was some goofy anime, where the pirate/villain of the week was defeated by the weird stretchy powers of the protagonist as they all raced...

So I decided to watch Twisted Metal on Pheonix starring Anthony Mackie as a deliveryman in post apocalyptic USA. Its based on the game Twisted Metal and featured all the expected tropes. Anyway as a Fan of the Mad Maxx genre I got to thinking has anyone managed to run a Road Warriors style...

I'm gonna be king of the pirates!

So just finished the Prime video spy thriller Citadel, produced by the Russos and starring Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden both of whom start with amnesia (though this is barely an inconvenience). It looks good, with lots of globetrotting, plenty of action scenes (including violent deaths)...
