I will say that I am cautiously optimistic to see where they end up going with this. Dark Sun is a setting with a lot of really great potential that is often lost in the sword-and-sandal grimy aesthetics of it all. Oddly enough, the post-Gold Box Dark Sun PC game Shattered Sun probably presented...

My kid is obsessed with the books and absolutely loved the show, can't wait to show them the trailer for this.

I mean you could've just stopped there.

"There is within me an unslaked hunger for preposterous adventure movies. I resist the bad ones, but when a “Congo” or an “Anaconda” comes along, my heart leaps up and I cave in. “The Mummy” is a movie like that. There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly...

If anything, threads like these help to remind us just how short and precious our limited time on this Earth truly is. May we all endeavor to leave this world better than we found it, or at the very least, live our lives such that our ultimate passing does not necessitate calls for decorum. Be...

Well, there is already an Iron DM Anthology Thread (which should be linked in the intro post) that collects all the best entries over the years. It's several years out of date at this point; after this tournament completes I was planning to create a second volume featuring excellent adventures...

We're less than 16 hours away from the final match of the tournament! Look forward to it!

No matter how much some would love for it be otherwise the case, language is deeply, deeply personal. It is rooted in history, culture, family, and individual experience. Any attempt to pursue what any specific word can, should, or does mean is inherently going to be significantly more fruitless...

The only five I could truly put forward are: Lord of the Rings (Peej Edition, naturally) - A bit of a cheat to film all three at the same time, but hell if it didn't make it the best, most cohesive movie trilogy of them all. Star Wars (Original Trilogy) - The only truly cohesive AND excellent of...
