I'd say that within the DC Heroes Supermans intelligence is high end of top 10, but not top 5. He is not as intelligent as Luthor, Batman, Mr Terrific or Ray Palmer, but maybe on par with Cyborg but without the specialist knowledge. Moreover Superman has focussed on Social intelligence as an...

The Mušḫuššu of Mesopatamia is considered one of the earliest 'dragon-like' creatures, its name means Red Snake and its associated with the constellation Hydra. So a scaly animal with hind legs resembling the talons of an eagle, fore limbs like a lion, a long neck and tail, two horns on its...

I think the point is that the Tron programmes have finally found a way to exist in the real world (which the franchise has been hinting at since it started) - so Humans are now dealing with real programmes. Jeff is still milking it, so good on him. Leto looks like he could actually be likeable...

Campaign Frames have become my new toy, I've sat down and done maybe 10 or so Campaign Frames in the last week alone - whole campaign ideas or parts of existing settings (nations, locations etc)

TEAM LAKE - SUBJECT:SHADE-9 - whats around the corner? Shade-9 maintained a cautious pace, avoiding the entangling weeds and slick stone alike, his optics scanning as he tracked the water’s flow, shifts in the current and ripples indicating movement, the glint of light off rock, the fall of...

European heraldry is a very poor source of Dragon canon, in that you get four, two and no legged dragons, some dragons the size of a horse, some with wings, some without and any number of heads

You mean Merlin wasnt Galifreyan? You also have the green knight being a robot or is it a Transformer?

its still not better than the first Reeve movie, Reeve got Supermans depiction right and it was a Superman movie not Kal and his Super friends

The comic book version of Mr Terrific (and as he appeared in the Justice League cartoon) was deeply committed to justice and fairplay, acting as a voice of reason and moral compass to his team. This version was a bit more rash in his approach and too ready to kill the kaiju.

Did Gunn use Superman as a proxy for himself? The punk trope felt like it, hilarious Yeah I seriously didnt like the Kents being presented as yokels, especially when they should be the moral grounding that made Clark the good person he is. I liked the movie much more than I thought I would, it...

“Acknowledged." Shade-9 tilted his head slightly at Darius’s reaction, the glowing blade still held in his outstretched hand. [Observation: [Subject:Darius] – Visual aversion to sudden photonic surge.] His tone was flat, with only the slightest modulation. "Your visual sensitivity was not...

I think RDJs Tony Stark got a nice story arch from origin to heroic ending, I like that and appreciate that the MCU want to preserve it There are so many characters available to Marvel that sometimes its nice to tell a story then retire that character to make room for someone else. (Yeah...

Did they? I didnt see much bitchy, especially considering the former actor was too busy being dead to reprise the roll

wait - I can have a pet druid? (okay it includes sidekicks I just thought it was funny that in the list of beasts and monsters druid was included - I can understand why bard would be ::))

Metacurrencies are a good mechanic, that gives players a choice and a physical token to use to affect game flow, they add to fun. But mechanics are not the Game and that (I think) is where the mistake of "everyone gets a different resource" comes in. People in play, dont want to try to remember...

Yeah Hank Pim is a strange one to get hung up over since the character as portrayed by Douglas was a supporting character to Paul Rudd. I agree that the Michael Douglas version of Hank should be retired but if they were to do a Hank Pym Antman movie set in the 1960s I would fully expect a new...

I just saw MEGAN 2 and it was surprisingly entertaining. They've given up any pretence of horror and instead gone for a spy action comedy, with murderous AI making amusingly sassy quips. The plots convoluted but the action is fun "Hold on to your ..."

I really didnt see the point of Dragonborn because Half-dragons and Draconians already existed. But its no biggie. With 2024 making lineage mainly cosmetic, none of them need to core really. It would be good if the PHB could make that explicit and let DMs and groups choose their own 'setting...

Yeah designers like Mr Colville do seem to over design, especially when they latch on to a 'cool' idea like 'every class uses a different resource'. Its the old Gygax Thesaurus problem of too many synonyms, but all doing the same thing. Then again maybe they do different things despite...
