Watching Dragonslayer. Tyrian here is a perfect Lawful-Evil character. He's totally ruthless and a dick, but his first loyalty is to the kingdom. When the king wants to bend the rules, Tyrian refuses him.
And the king is Neutral, trying to protect the status quo with the lottery. The princess is Lawful-Good, sacrificing herself when she finds out she hasn't been in the lottery. Galen is Chaotic Good, not ever thinking about the consequences of his actions, but trying to do the right thing.
Wil McKinnee there are so many great things about it. One of my favorites is everyone converting to Christianity then letting God take the credit for killing the dragon instead of Galen and Ulric and Valerian.
Craig Brasco this movie pioneered a stop motion effect that blurred the frames of the Dragon so that it appeared to have a much smoother motion. It still looks wonderful years later.

That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Correction in comments, I'm still mad Ok, I found out the 5e allosaurus from Tomb of Annihilation was only CR2 and was outraged, so I made a comparison of a D&D character and allosaurus specimen MOR 693. Then I compared the allosaurus to a polar bear, also CR2. The bear has 5HD and the allosaurus has 6HD. So, I take it back. CR 2 is fine.
From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...
I thought that this was a great movie.
