The Hollywood Reporter is saying that the First Avenger: Captain America movie now has a director, Joe Johnston. Johnston was the director of Jumanji and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, but probably most importantly one of my favorite movies The Rocketeer! I say this is the most important because this Captain America movie is supposedly […]
Mean Things I Have Done in Horror RPGs
Had a PC’s longtime girlfriend seduced by a butt-ugly vampire. Replaced a resurrected PC with his evil twin… permanently. (As a result of this) Force said evil twin into working with the PCs after he was disowned by the rest of his doppelganger crew. Killed a PC’s roommate, brought him back as a Frankenstein’s Monster. […]
May The DPS Be With You
IGN calls it “one of the worst kept secrets in the industry“, but the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO was announced at a huge event yesterday. Details are still scarce, but like any number of other MMOs, you can join the Good Guys or the Bad Guys, with some potential moral grays. (“For the […]
The end of “fully randomized” D&D Miniatures
All my scoop sources just lit up with this announcement: D&D Miniatures, after the next set, will no longer be sold in completely random boosters. According to the release, there will be “D&D Heroes” sets that will be sold in packaging that makes all the figures visible, so you already know what you’re getting. Each […]
D&D Starter Set Released
The new D&D Starter Set has been released, providing a simple entry into the world of D&D for new or lapsed player, and coincidentally, making a great gift in time for the holidays. (If I had young relatives who were interested in D&D, I’d definitely get one of these for them.) According to the Previews […]
The more things change…
I have read the system – it’s a pretty nice system – but it’s no more a new edition of Dungens and Dragons than a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a revision of a 1940s Willys Jeep. The problem lies in its being called something it is not – a new edition of an existing […]
The Amazing Graysons: Baby Nightwing?
In honor of our Inquisition: It looks like the CW doesn’t want to leave a void when comic book inspired Smallville finally ends… But, really though, I wonder how interesting a bunch of circus performer will be? Surely we won’t have Dick flying around a trapeze for 8 whole seasons? The actor would age past […]
This s**t is EPIC!
The Dragon magazine update for today (hurry, grab them as they come out before you have to pay or pirate!) is all about epic destinies for Forgotten Realms. It includes 3 new epic desitines: Elf High Mage, Harper of Legend, and Mythic Sovereign. Elf High Mage starts to become one with magic itself, granting all […]
Thanks to some Gnomes, I have custom sounds
So remember that contest I told you all to enter, where the prizes were custom RPG sounds from World of Twilights Studio? Turns out I won the grand prize. Funny, huh? (I also won a prize in the one-sentence NPC contest, so I guess pimping other people’s contests works.) Well, I’ve been emailing back and […]
4th Edition: Playtest a Barbarian
Second Edit: See here for the Barbarian release, no fooling! Edit: It appears Wizards has removed this snippet from the Table of Contents, sorry everyone! The table of contents for Dragon #367 is up, and it looks like we’ll be getting an early look at the Barbarian class from the PHB 2 that won’t be […]
