Dubbing Differences: Disney's Robin Hood

I found the following notable changes in the Brazilian Portuguese dub of Disney's Robin Hood. I had a lot of déjá vu while writing these down. I must've told my brother about them too or something, but I could've sworn that this was the first Dubbing Differences post I've made. Weird.

Hourly Comic Day 2024

I need to remember to do this every single year. Or possibly even multiple times a year. Such a fun way to practice drawing and cartoonistry, and a fun little journal entry to boot.

Storytelling Principles I Learned from Avatar: The Last Airbender

 

I'd be surprised if anyone hasn't seen the original Avatar: The Last Airbender series yet, but if you haven't, then stop reading this blog and go get a Netflix subscription and watch it NOW! There are very few series, if any, that have better worldbuilding, character development, and storytelling than Avatar, and I hope by exploring its storytelling tools, I can reverse-engineer ways to add engagement in my own stories and roleplaying games. The main aspect I'm going to be discussing is variety and contrast. The variety of places, things, concepts, characters, and pacing in the show are what I think make each episode and season unique, and what contribute to a rich narrative that is hard to stop watching.

D&D Mechanics Inspired by StarCraft II

 

I browsed an old strategy guide for Age of Empires: Rise of Rome from 4th Grade, and pretty soon my years-dormant interest in real-time strategy games was enthusiastically re-ignited. I played Age of Empires, Age of Kings, StarCraft, and now I'm playing the third campaign of StarCraft II, Legacy of the Void. You might not think that RTS games have much in common with an RPG like D&D, but good inspiration can be found anywhere, and here are some of the things I've been inspired by from the past few weeks playing StarCraft II.

Card Game: Scuttle

I've always loved games that have a high simple/accessible-to-fun ratio, and for a long time I thought it would be amazing if there was a fun, strategic game you could play with a simple deck of regular cards. Eventually, I discovered Cuttle, which checked all the boxes of what I was looking for: Easy to get the materials for, the first combat card game ever, and with interesting mechanics that wouldn't require too much explanation to new players.
