Look if we can't have D&D: More Honour Among More Thieves, this'll have to do.
A new #StarTrek movie is in the works at Paramount, with Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves duo Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley set to write, direct, and produce.

Hurrah! My article on the Twilight 2000 RPG in the Journal of American Studies is now open access (OA), so anyone who wants to can have a read. OA is important to me, as I want my work on RPG history to go beyond the academy and reach the gaming public.

Reminded of a hand painted sign here years ago, which I can find no photos of. Cornucopia in Morningside, I think it was a fruit and veg place, and the sign was meant to be the named horn of plenty but looked more like a sandworm from Dune throwing up. I'd totally shop there now.

Thanks to the first ten Star Trek movies being free with ads on YouTube, just watched Insurrection for the first time in decades. It's okay.

Do the makers of Alien earth actually have an idea what to do next? Apparently we will found out. I guess this is partially my fault for watching it all.

I like the Carry On films but the lore is too confusing, impossible for modern audiences to accept these people could play a major part in the French Revolution AND lose their bras on camping holidays

Can't figure out how to un-kill Bond? (Who was clearly on a new continuity last time anyway.) Set it in the late 50s. Done.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

ROM is a work of genius.
"What if we redid 'The Invaders' TV series, only instead of a regular guy fighting the secret alien infiltrators it was a space cyborg that talked like Aragorn?"

Share a TV series from the 1960's you love. 📺
Doctor Who started in the 60s but the first stuff I love is from the 70s and is it really the same show from Doctor to Doctor any -
Fine I'll say The Addams Family

This is one of the reasons as a humanist who does not believe in the supernatural, I am still not anti-theist. Everybody needs different frameworks to deal with the curse of consciousness and motivate right action, if it gets you over here on Team Decency, we can argue about the terms as we go.
UPDATE: Reached out to the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister who was there that day and has been active in religious demonstrations at Broadview.
“They are making it clear that they are scared of prayer … it speaks the truth that what they are doing in that building is evil.”

FRANKENSTEIN is on NETFLIX but- still in many theatres- please consult your local listings and choose your watch/rewatch preference!
Where do I even begin? Guillermo del Toro @realgdt.bsky.social has created an absolute masterpiece. I only wish I’d had the chance to experience it on the big screen. The story of Frankenstein has been told countless times, but never like this.
