The 2007 film Kingdom, the end credits of the movie dedicates it to Tom Aguilar, Lance Gunnin and Nick Papac, all crew members who died during production. Tom Aguilar (prop maker) died one week after being admitted to the hospital for stomach pain and subsequently discovering he had prostate cancer. Lance Gunnin (construction worker) was killed in a motorcycle accident on his way to the set. Nick Papac (prop master) died in an on-set collision between his Gator all-terrain vehicle and an SUV.

Film & TV / Re: Legend of Vox Machina on Amazon Prime

I am not overly familiar with the podcast, but I know it has brought in a whole new range of people to D&D making it almost cool to play. I am enjoying it as its own series, the interaction between the characters is well played, as is the fact that they are a bunch of misfit losers and not your typical heroes. The story telling is a bit simplistic but it may have been done to help draw new fans in.
I know that CR fandom is split over this as some miss this offstory banter that happens with D&D (but that happens with all onscreen versions of  things like this). If it brings new/lapsed fans back to D&D or other RPGs then it's a good thing.
It looks like they are releasing 3 episodes every Friday as 4,5,&6 are now out

Film & TV / Legend of Vox Machina on Amazon Prime
03 February, 2022, 10:38:06 PM
The first 3 episodes of the 12 episode animated version of Critical Role's D&D podcast are now up on Amazon Prime.

This show based on the first campaign follows the ragtag group of adventurers known as Vox Machina are commissioned by Sovereign Uriel to find out who (or what) is decimating villages in the outskirts of Emon. There is a few podcast "Easter Egg" such as the Dungeon Master Matthew Mercer cameoing in each episode.
Even if you haven't heard the original podcast it is still a good fun fantasy adventure series

Coming from Markosia in March 2022, Johnny Recruit, a World War 2 comic created in the style of early war comics/propaganda posters featuring double-page spreads and no dialogue. The tale is also written by 14-year-old Theo Behe and illustrated by Canadian artist Tom Muzzell.
"Set in wartime Canada, England, and Germany in 1941, Johnny Recruit is a story about hope, heroics, and youthful ambition. When 14-year-old Big Johnny learns his uncle's been captured by Nazis, he's sure the only person who can rescue his mentor is – himself.  Stellar bush pilot and expert game hunter, Johnny lies about his age and joins WW2 to find his best friend. But when a rival British pilot threatens to expose his secret, Johnny faces tough decisions no young kid should have to make..."
