Continue ReadingSo I’ve been reading Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft and watching PhDnD’s fantastic YouTube series where he selects one of the ‘Domains of Dread’ from the source books (and also comes up with a couple of his own), explains the basic premise of it, provides a lot of inspirational media to ‘get an imaginative grip […]
Garrok was no fool, he would’ve been glad to tell you. But he was also not the most personable wizard you were likely to have met, which he also would’ve been glad to tell you. At length. Well past the point of you caring to listen. He suffered under the burden most ‘geniuses’ do: that […]
Yvette is a rather unique character in the movie. She connects most of the guests through the grand conspiracy of being Ms. Scarlet’s top “call girl” at her business connecting her to Col. Mustard and Mrs. White. Ms. Scarlet also expands the web in her ending to include both Mrs. Peacock and Prof. Plum for […]
When the name of Tim Curry comes up, it’s probably an age check to see what role he played springs to mind. I would imagine most older generations would think of Dr. Frankenfurter. My wife thinks of Long John from Muppet Treasure Island. But to me, it’s Wadsworth all the way. It would be hard […]
First, a little inside baseball. Upon watching the credits of this movie several times as a kid, I found it funny that the name of the actor playing the part of “Mr. Boddy” is “Lee Ving” and thought how brave/cruel his parents must’ve been. I eventually discovered that he was the lead singer for a […]
Merrick wasn’t exactly sure when the conversation with Lucian got away from him. After his talk with Copper, he knew there was a fair bit of research to be done to find out where this ‘collection of rare curiosities’ resided, if it still existed at all. But at least he had a name to go […]
The forest creatures near the Raven Woods estate skitter about in preparation for winter gathering nuts while others gorge on what they find to be ready for hibernation, but none seem too concerned over the looming shadow overhead suddenly widening: for as the late afternoon begins its transition into early evening, the sun has an […]
Galen stood just inside the doorway of the main hall leading out into the central courtyard. His eyes fixed on a part of wall he had calculated Alarius’s study to be. Mentally, he traced a route thru the doors, stairs, and passageways the spell would have to transverse to reach him. He calculated the total […]
Merrick wordlessly snaps the reigns, bringing Bucky and the cart to a stop near the water’s edge. With a sigh, he lifts himself off, landing with a squishy thud next to his horse, patting it on it’s neck without looking up. He ambles to a small clearing near the pool and begins unbuckling his armor […]
I wish I could say that I saved the best dinner guest character for last, but in truth Prof. Plum is just a bit of the odd man out. Not to say that he isn’t important; he’s probably one of the strongest characters in the movie, has some of the best gags, has a host […]
