Anyone remember Eerie, Indiana (NBC) which was a similarly town of weirdness vibe and featured a couple of kids on bikes too. It was filmed between Santa Clarita and Toronto.

yeah Adventurer meeting Aleena, encountering Bargle and then being chased out by ghouls is my first memory of actual DnD 'play'. The whole package with BEC was a perfect introduction to what the game could be.

Van Helsing (Syfy) was set in post apocalyptic Seattle, but mostly filmed in BC. CW Sabrina and Riverdale too (even though theyre suppose to be New York) Buffy is definitely Southern California though, shes a Valley girl

England in the 12th century was pretty dirty and gritty - and he's an outlaw in the forest robbing corrupt bishops and shaming greedy nobles. so what was the point of the character?

yeah having bugbears as just big hairy goblins is dumb, so I've long had them be the wildmen in the woods instead, even combining them with Su-Monsters to give them the scary "drag their victims up into the canopy" ability

surprised to see Sigourney Weaver in the cast list! I take it she is the BBEG?

Twin Peaks is easy to enter, but difficult to leave. The roads out of Twin Peaks are well maintained. Signposts are freshly painted. Distances are reassuringly short. Travelers who follow them notice small repetitions first. The same split log by the roadside. The same crow hopping once, twice...

The idea of the Osiris-Horus cycle being read to kindergartners is mindboggling, but then I suppose its no more scandalously gruesome than many of Grimms fairytales. RE Howard also gave introduction to a few co-opted deities like Set, Mitra, Erlik Khan (Turkic myth) and maybe Crom (Cruac)...

7th Sea DiscWorld - more to see if the pull off the humour Outgunned Toon Warhammer

Elves are fantastic, they create fantasies Elves are glamorous, they project glamour Elves are enchanting, they weave enchantment Elves are terrific, they beget terror I like Terry Pratchetts presentation of Elves as cruel beautiful parasites, a half step out of reality and with no...

Batman Returns is absolutely a christmas movie, but I'd dispute if its "more" so than Die Hard!

its funny where I come from pork and cabbage boil up is a standard weekly meal (daily in some houses) whereas sauerkraut would be one of those weird pickles aunty keeps trying to make. personally I love it with a nice bratwurst and mustard

Pork certainly, sauerkraut is a regional preference

Stag Lords Fort - its fortified and has lots of room for expansion

Can I ask which old country?

Glazed ham Boil a pigs head to make brawn Fall asleep around 10 then wake up around 12.30 and say "did I miss it again?" Make my annual "I havent seen you since last year" joke
