Don't worry about it.

I have a dog that acts like a cat

he hates water, climbs over newspapers to demand lap sits, and always has to either curl into a ball or wedge his face into something to sleep

here he is looking perturbed after we took him into the water (with my friend's then-foster dog)

he spent the rest of the day sitting at the water's edge watching us slash around

he is very good at looking upset by default

or sometimes smug

I also make him wear stupid sweaters for holidays sometimes

don't worry, he had a real costume too

His name is Dug

Warner Bros. has found its newest fantasy film franchise, and it comes from one of the world�s most beloved role-playing games: Dungeons & Dragons.

Together with Hasbro, Warner Bros. revealed Monday that it already has a script prepped for the project from David Leslie Johnson, whose credits include Wrath of the Titans and The Conjuring 2. The studio also emphasized that this adaptation is being built with a full franchise in mind, meaning that Johnson�s script is likely only the tip of what Warner Bros. hopes to do with the series.

�[Dungeons & Dragons] has endless creative possibilities, giving our filmmakers immense opportunities to delight and thrill both fans and moviegoers new to the property,� Warner Bros.� president of creative development and worldwide production Greg Silverman said.

Warner Bros. released no additional details about the plot of the film, though WB�s executive vice president and CCO of Hasbro, Stephen Davis, said that the film presents the chance �to bring the rich fantasy setting of the Forgotten Realms to life.� The Forgotten Realms is one of the many famous locations that have been built into D&D lore since the game�s inception in 1974. A D&D feature film was actually made in 2000, though the critical derided film only saw direct-to-DVD sequels.

The franchise fills a Hobbit-sized hole in WB�s line-up after The Lord of the Rings� second trilogy of films came to an end in 2014. The announcement of the film also marks the settlement of a complaint Wizards of the Coast made against Sweetpea Entertainment and Sweetpea BVI in regard to the D&D brand. Sweetpea Entertainment has producers on board for all future D&D film and TV productions while Wizards of the Coast retains the unified rights to the franchise.

No casting has been announced for the film, but Vin Diesel probably wouldn�t mind discussing a role. [link to Vin Diesel's D&D book birthday cake]

One other "great" thing about CthulhuTech was how it set up for like five different levels of play in the same book. You could have a street-level kung-fu hitman, a lady cultist who was poo poo at learning spells (because spell-learning in that game was idiotic), a guy that could shapeshift into a monster, some grunt in a basic mech, and an elite soldier driving in one of their not-Evangelions (no teenagers because that's unrealistic you pleb :smaug:

). Each level would successively overpower all the other archetypes and render their roles redundant, but the game still allowed mixed parties for some reason. Plus, since all those different play levels fight for space in one corebook naturally most of them are neglected and unbalanced

the core rulebook posted:

The Pronoun Game

Okay, here it is � we use he, him, and his when we�re talking about people playing the game. It just seems weird to alternate pronoun genders within the same book � it makes it feel like the book is written for two different audiences. The masculine pronoun is the standard and right or wrong we�re used to seeing it. It may not be politically correct, but you can�t please everybody.

Oh and you can't mention

Helical Nightmares posted:

The other salient problem with CthulhuTech was that the adventure(s) written allowed no player agency at all. At least that is what I got from the F and F review. Here is a bunch of horrible and sick stuff you have to witness and you can do nothing about it. It was less of an adventure and more of a poorly written sick hentai fanfic.

The Vosgian Beast posted:

I liked that the servants of Shub Niggurath were literally sexy furries.

Without including that one of the sample adventures in the book railroaded everyone into getting raped and impregnated by sexy furries

you gave birth to Satan-Bambi (I double checked just women have to worry about giving birth to demonic woodland creatures)
