Dungeons & Dragons - 3.5 Animated Character stats

As a follow up to our Dungeons and Dragons episode in which we touched a bit on the D&D Animated series from the 80's I wanted to share the character bios and magic weapon stats from the DVD box set. All the following information was created for the 3.5 edition of Dungeons & Dragons. You might be wondering why I have a picture of Pierce Hawthorne (Chevy Chase - Community) at the top of the post. Well its quite simple actually, as you read the following, picture Pierce's voice in your head =)

The return of DC NATION and Star wars the Clone wars

FINALLY! After roughly four months, DC NATION finally returns to cartoon network with new episodes to air starting tomorrow morning(1-5-13). Young Justice Invasion and Green Lantern- The animated series are two of the coolest newer cartoons on tv today. Warner Brother has also added new animated shorts to the DC Nation line-up, which might explain the long delay since last fall. All I know is i am really glad to have Young Justice back! DC NATION starts at 9:00am central time Saturday mornings.

Also dont forget to watch the Clone Wars tonight on Cartoon Network! New episodes! Fridays at 7:00pm central

Megascifi.com - Robotech Community

As I was searching the inter-webs this morning I came across an interview  with writer James Luceno. Robotech fans first encountered Jim’s work from when he coauthored the Robotech Novelizations with Brian Daley, the two of them shared the pseudonym Jack McKinney. Star Wars fans will know of him from Darth Plagueis and Dark Lord - The Rise of Darth Vader many more novels. You can read the interview here:

and a very cool time line:

ROBOTECH TIMELINE FOR THE ANIMATION, NOVELS, AND COMICS REFERENCE GUIDE VERSION

The art of Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles

If your anything like me you love Robotech! Luckily for us the folks over at Harmony Gold are still (slowly) producing Robotech material. 2013 looks to be the release date for "Love, Live, Alive", a modern remake of the original Japanese animated movie and it looks like a lot of the original voice actors from the next generation series will be involved. So at least we have something to look forward too from an animation stand point. Rumor had it Harmony was planning on continuing the Shadow Chronicles, but I haven't heard much about that.

Palladium books is releasing a couple new supplements, Genesis Pits which will be out around Christmas and UEEF Marines for their Robotech RPG Line. In other book related news, Robotech.com has released a Shadow Chronicles art book. Here is the description:

The Art of ROBOTECH: The Shadow Chronicles

The long-awaited comeback film Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles picks up directly from the pioneering space opera that first aired on television in 1985. The breathtaking animated movie combines the talents of artists, producers, musicians, and actors from around the globe, from Los Angeles and Tokyo to Seoul and Prague. Now, all the art - both classic designs from Robotech's Japanese heritage and modern digital production techniques from The Shadow Chronicles - that went into putting Robotechnology and Protoculture back on the screen has been collected into this stellar new full-color book from Stone Bridge Press. Everything fans seek in a film companion is right here:

- an inside look at the evolution of Robotech and the anime industry over three decades
- plot guides for the TV series and the movie
- in-depth character, mecha, and vessel profiles
- over 100 pages of concept art and production design
- detailed mecha and vessel statistics
- hundreds of full-color images, many never-before released
- a glossary of Robotech terms
- production commentary from director Tommy Yune
- foreword by original Robotech producer Carl Macek

$19.95

Thats it for now from the Robotech War front, I do plan on doing a review of the Genesis Pits source book when I pick up a copy.
