Would be good to see ya round. Between long COVID (1/10, do NOT recommend, get your damn vaxx in), work and new responsibilities, not got much time for hobbies, though working out (gently, short HIITs and lots of yoga) and exploring newfound joys of country livin'. Well, 10 miles down the road from my old place, but feels like a world away.
Heya DW 😄

Hi Heraclea!
Sorry to see Unleashed go, but it was barely alive when I last looked 😞-

Watched it, still didn't like it.
Over long, dull, ponderous and OH MY GOD stop it with the freaking slow-mo scenes!! Damn movie would have been half the time without those 😄
I know it's a different look at DC and all that, I can accept it as an Elseword version, but Snyder's version of Superman just left me cold. Did in MoS and BvS as well, just don't like his gritty, grim-dark interpretation of it at all.
And REALLY don't like this version of the Flash, he's nothing like the Barry Allen I know and love. The TV version isn't perfect but he's far superior to this version!
Breaks my heart, I've been a DC fan since I was a kid, got almost every DC comic since the original Crisis, just wish DC could do something better with their movies! So far only Wonder Woman and Shazam have been close for me, although I did enjoy Aquaman for what it was.
Such a shame 😞

Agreed! Watched this ep and loved it! If Painkiller doesn't get a green light, it's a crime!

MIne is a little different. It's not from a classic tale, it's not from one of the all time, but I swear, when I saw this page from Super Sons, the moment that Damien and Jon think they got away with it all and then this happens, I laughed my ass off. 🙂
How many of us as kids know that feeling when we know that....uh oh....we're in trouble now 🙂

Loved this show, great final season as well!

Awesome, I loved reading the original post way back when 🙂
Scary thought though, looking at the other posts like farewell and some simple maths, Sister Flame will b about 18-19 years old now!
Damn, I feel old 😞

I'm still reeling from this. He was five years younger than me. If nothing else, this is making me go for a check now.
Such a sad and tragic loss to the world. He gave the impression that there was so much more amazing stuff to come from him and now it's gone. And to do soooo much whilst fighting it? And most of all, him visiting kids with cancer as well whilst keeping it to himself that he had it. Absolute legend.
RIP King, Wakanda Forever.

I'm all about the DC stuff as I'm still wokring my way through Marvel from the 80's but most of my list is pretty obvious stuff, tbh
Batman: Hush
Dark Knight Returns
All Star Superman
Crisis on Infinite Earths
Watchmen
Batman: Killing Joke (Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet!)
Titans: Judas Contract
I also love the vast majority of Elseworld stuff like Red Son, The Nail, Gotham By Gaslight etc

Ah! Wonderful to hear, @Coin!
MASSIVE SNIPPAGE!!
If you have any specific questions, I am more than happy to help! This is the stuff I live for!
Wow, there's a lot there to digest 😄
Many thanks for the advice, it's really appreciated.
I think I'm going to stick with the DnD set I bought for several reasons. For starters, my son has been watching some videos for a while now on Youtube of playing DnD (not this campaign, thankfully) and he's really excited to try it, he's even read up on the basic rules etc.
Secondly, my daughter knows what DnD is after being a massive fan of Community, Big Bang Theory and Stranger Things, so I think trying to get her to play something else might put her off, somewhat! (Seriously, her love for Community rivals my own, she's Troy to my Abed, we even own a mug each for Troy and Abed in the Morning 😉 )
Thirdly, it comes with pre-rolled character sheets for them all, which should hopefully helps us getting going quicker once I explain basic concepts for them all. I remember when I was younger my friends and I spending about an hour just rolling characters, if I try to get them to do that, I think it might put them off before we even get started!Plus, I've played it when I was young so I'm at least a little familiar with it!
One thing I've seen mentioned on lots of other sites I've been reading is to not be too slavish to the rules, at least for beginners, but to go with the flow a little more. Does this sound right to you?
Luckily, I know the players very well, it's my wife, son and daughter, as well as my potential future daughter-in-law so I can play to their strengths to keep them involved with it. Plus, they trust me so are a lot less likely to debate whther I've got the rules right or not 😄
I also appreciate @Ashingtonadvice about not splitting up the group. Hopefully that won't be an issue with this campaign, but I'll make sure it doesn't happen 😄
Any other hardcore Do's and Don'ts out there?

So my family like to do family board game, been doing it for a while. When finishing the last one, I, jokingly, said "hey next time, let's play Dungeons and Dragons!"
My eldest lad, he was very excited by this and, after talking to my 19 yr old daughter and her girlfriend, and also my wife, both of whom said they were willing to give it a go, I bought the DnD Starter Set, which contains the Lost Mines of Phandelver campaign and a basic rulebook.
Now, I've played DnD, but it was a loooooooong time ago, we're talking over 30 years now, and I never DM'd, ever, so I'm a little nervous about doing this and screwing it up so they don't enjoy it.
I'm reaching out to you more seasoned DnD players and DM's out there for any advice. Any tips, tricks, guidelines, things to watch out for, suggestions, etc to help me make it a bit more fun.
I know it won't go perfectly and I'll make some errors, as will the players, but I'd still appreciate any advice!

Hi All - Some good names and SGs on this thread I recognise 15 years later - especially Echelon. I used to play an Energy/Energy blaster under the name Lui. Perhaps slightly nutty as a teenager!
Does anyone remember some of these names?
Tainted Greek
Xanthus
Claire Voyant (Possible the largest bane of my life in Sirens Call - An incredible Spines/SR PvP scrapper)
Dear gods, it's Lui!! 😄
Yeah, I remember the name well, for......a fair few reasons! 😄 Long time passed though so it's all good 🙂
And yeah, I remember Xanthus and who the hell could forget the legend that was Tainted Greek 😄

Great quote!
Edit: Ok Google tells me this was from Hans Gruber in 'Die Hard'. Even more awesome!
Well, technically, it's been around a LOT longer, although no one is completely certain who from, although a lot of people believe it was Plutarch.
Sit Thomas Wyatt wrote it as follows in 1527
"Alexander, whan he herde Anaxarchus argue that there were infynite worldes, it is said that he wept. And whan his frendes asked hym what thing had happened him to be wept for: “Is it nat to be wept for,” quod he, “syns they say there be infynite worldes, and we are nat yet lorde of one?”
Although I like Hans Gruber's better 😉-

About a month ago I decided to try the trial of Marvel Unlimited and I really enjoyed it. So I decided that since this pandemic has left life a little, lets say boring, I subscribed to it with a goal to start at FF 1 and work up til I hit the stuff I have already read. I know this will take a long while but its giving me the ability to read comics I will never afford and also see the Marvel universe grow as it did in the 60's. I am up to Jun '63 at the moment. Its nice because you can search by publication date. I am about to hit the X-men and Avengers. Between you and Me though I am glad Hulk only went 6 issues lol.
I've been doing the same thing, but I've started at the 80's
Trouble is, I forgot how........different some of the stuff back was in the 80's! Man, the way the did Power Man back then, would NOT work today 😄

I've been a DC fan for a loooooong time, since just after the Crisis, so I got into at a good time to start them. Made the choice for DC over Marvel, I knew from looking at the shelves I could never manage to afford both 🙂
Still read them all every week, the past couple of months has been......challenging for a fan 🙂

I loved the movie. Have not seen it on TV since I canceled live television a year or so ago. If I recall, they cast the boss from The IT Crowd. So I'm not surprised it's good 🙂
It is and it is 🙂
Well worth tracking down if you can and loved the movie, the series is even better. Just found out there is another spin-off series from new Zealand as well, based on the police officers from the movie, same actors as well, going to binge those now 🙂

... a link to it would be helpful ...
To what? It's a TV show, not the easiest thing to link to 😄
I can add a trailer for it, if you want? Save you having to Google it?

Is anyone else a massive fan of What We Do In The Shadows?
Seriously, this show is absolutely brilliant, so well written and performed by all the cast and yet no-one I know watches it!! It's almost unheard of!
Given some of the amazing guest stars that have appeared in it, it's shocking how few people talk about it! Seeing Mark Hamill in the latest episode caught me right off guard!
Also.......fucking Colin Robinson. urrgh!-

This guy was the voice of my childhood.
He was the voice of Busby and Tufty, and also the voice of The Wombles, my favourite show as a kid. I even still have a Wellington today that my wife bought me 🙂
Not mention his appearance in Carry On movies, the Doctor Who second movie and the Railway Children, all things I love.
And then he was Wilf. And my own kids fell in love with him 🙂
Gonna miss this one. 😞
