Creation Is An Act Of Sheer Will!

If you are only familiar with the movies, John Hammond just seems like a dedicated (but naive) scientist with a dream. However, the original book version was more sinister. That version is the inspiration for these stats by Meaghan Colleen of Bell of Lost Souls.  These stats were originally posted here. I think these stats would be perfect for a 5e supers antagonist.

It’s Good To Be Wanted

Outlaws of Thunder Junction is the next MtG set. This one brings together characters from various planes and seems them become an outlaw gang in a fantasy western setting. I think it looks awesome.

WE DIE YOUNG Kickstarter

Another Bloat Games SURVIVE THIS!! rpg is getting the OSE treatment. We Die Young is on Kickstarter now. I love the original version of the game. You can check out my review here. The current campaign is for an Old-School Essentials update and an Ultimate SURVIVE THIS!! update. Pledge today to get some great early bird prices. This pairs great with Dark Places & Demogorgons and even if you aren't interested in the more modern setting, will provide some great additional content to your standard OSE game. 

Check out the Kickstarter today!

Music Monday - Make Me Pretty

Dr. Steinman is a memorable villain and this live action video from JT Music highlights that well.

Ride the Lightning

Leairis does Artsy Stuff just posed a print she created for an upcoming con and I love it. If Storm was a Pokemon trainer, she'd definitely rock a team of electric types.

Into The Multiverse

As y'all know I love superheroes. While most of my favorite characters and stories in the genre are from DC Comics, I love Marvel and other publishers too. The other day I shared info about the upcoming Deadpool comic/adventure for the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game. I still haven't played or read through that game, but after making that post I remembered my friend Stew had a copy of it. I went to his house and he let me borrow it (well right now I'm borrowing it, but soon I will be buying it from him). I've only read through the first few chapters, but I think the game has some potential. After I give it a thorough reading I will post a review. 

I also already know what character I'm going to stat out to get used to the character creation rules.

The Spider Trailer

Starring The Walking Dead’s Chandler Riggs as Peter Parker, The Spider is an upcoming fan film that will give us a horror take on Spider-Man. Do we need a horror take? Probably not, but that doesn’t mean I’m not really interested in seeing how it turns out.

Mutant Academia

This X-Men/My Hero Academia mashup is fantastic.
