Deadpool will open on the big screen this Friday. If you’ve seen any of the trailers you’ll know it features some other superheroes such as the X-Men’s mighty Colossus. How do those superheroes compare to their comic book counterparts? Do they even look the same? Mild spoilers (just in case you don’t know which characters […]

Superheroes on the D&D alignment chart
I think this superhero and villain alignment chart is particularly good. It takes the old school Dungeons and Dragons alignment scale and uses heroes and villains to populate it. The rest is that old D&D geeks get a kick out of the retro chic and the newer native geeks get an easy way to see […]
