Question to the D&D crowd: I'm currently prepping some D&D sessions and I remember someone (I think it may have been Mike Shea/ @slyflourish ) mention something like "Cat Doors" to teleport between locations, along with some other GMing techniques to cover great distances in-game in an engaging way.

Do any of you know in what publication he describes those?

Third, we jokefully suggested to adapt BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF using Legend of the Five Rings.
Actually, in hindsight, it's not a bad idea to use #L5R as it combines themes and mechanics for investigation, intrigue, nobility and even martial arts.

The #Kickstarter for the fourth Gamers film is now 60% funded, with two weeks to go.

I'd really like to see this reach its goal. It looks like it should be a great addition to the series.

I'm having a re-listen of my episodes of The RPG Academy Film Studies. Let's see What we can up with for BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF.

The first suggested system is good old BRP Call of Cthulhu. We thought the movie's mystery would fit right in the Cthulhu Mythos.

@Glupinickname thanks. That means a lot.

I indeed try to pick stuff which I found meaningful to my geeky #TTRPG journey but rather out of the well trodden path.

However, here a couple of bigger ones I should get around recording. 😏

You can find the above and more at https://rolistespod.com/podcast?cat=film-studies

I'd love to read your thoughts on episodes you listen to.

EL DÍA DE LA BESTIA
(In Nomine Satanis / Christmas Veritas)

3⭐ Join us, a corrupted priest, an ass*** metalhead and a psychic fraud in their search for Satan!

4⭐ Going chaotic evil with lawful good motivations.

4⭐ It's a roleplaying adventure gone wrong.

I had a crazy Squirrel Druid. He was totally rational except for his belief that long ago, in the time of the Gods, Spider stole venom from Squirrel, and his personal quest was to get it back.

I think he could summon a swarm of squirrels (not dire, or huge, just lots of them) then temporarily make them venomous.

ARMOUR OF GOD 2
(Three Low-stats Bards & a Min-max Monk)

3⭐ Jackie Chan's attempt at making an Indiana Jones film. It's not his worst. It's not his best. But it's still a fun movie.

3⭐ It taught me that Indiana Jones should have kicked more people in the face.

3.5⭐ The movie does blow away people in the end!

BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF

2⭐ It's a very long very French film that goes on a little too long and it's...
...it was something.

2⭐ A cheesy bodice ripping comic drama but nonetheless an enjoyable one but far too long.

3⭐ Homo homini lupus. Man is wolf to man.

3⭐ A fun action movie about secret societies in a cool period drama but it's held back by some utterly tasteless decisions and entirely an hour too long.

Sometimes, I feel like I try too hard promoting my podcast shows. Then, enthusiastic TTRPG folks tell they haven't heard about them. 🤷

So, here's a thread for The RPG Academy Film Studies.

I love our one line reviews.

Do you agree with these?

What's yours?
