Most Troublesome D&D NPC Archetypes

Dungeon Masters who’ve been running games for a while often use challenging non-player characters (NPCs) to create tricky traps, puzzles, and stories for their players. However, it doesn’t always go as planned! I spoke with a DM named Oskar about some of the Dungeons & Dragons NPCs that he and others enjoy using to surprise and challenge their players.

Guillermo del Toro’s Lost Lovecraft Horror Movie Will Sadly Never Get Made

Guillermo del Toro has always been a fan of H.P. Lovecraft, especially the story At the Mountains of Madness. He announced in 2010 that he’d finally gotten the go-ahead to make it into a movie, a project he’d dreamed of for years.

Despite del Toro’s continued efforts, the movie remains stuck in development, potentially indefinitely.

Pokemon Studio’s Next Game Could Be Skipping Switch 2

For years, Game Freak, the developer of Pokemon, has faced criticism for the series’ technical and visual limitations. Their new game, Beast of Reincarnation, is a significant shift, boasting the high production values and impressive graphics expected from a modern, top-tier game. It’s a departure from the more cartoonish style typically seen in their games, including the Pokemon series. The story follows Emma the Sealer and her dog, Koo, as they journey across a ruined Japan to defeat a corrupted being. Gameplay is also dramatically different for the studio, offering an action RPG experience with a fast-paced combat system similar to games like Black Myth: Wukong and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

How to Find and Catch the Purple Emperor in Heartopia

Okay, so the Purple Emperor bug? That one gave me a headache at first! You need to find it on Day 12 in Heartopia, and let me tell you, it’s not a simple catch.
