The Munsters poses the chilling question, what if your parents were a vampire and a Frankenstein? The Addams Family poses the chilling question, what if your parents were openly sexual?

Nine years ago Mike Fitzgerald wrote up an extraordinarily fascinating breakdown of the differences between the Tom Stoppard shooting script and the original Jeffrey Boam draft of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

My wife is listening to a 1996 episode of Coast-to-Coast where Art Bell is diligently caping for Pat Buchanan and it really makes me wonder (assuming he lived this long) if modern right-wing grifter culture would have made Art reconsider some of his positions or transformed him into a real monster.

This is lore-accurate. Clerics are only proficient with bludgeoning weapons.

I give the same advice for RPG campaigns.
It was Downey who coined the phrase in the LEVERAGE writers room “future episodes do not win out over present episodes”. Trust me, you’ll have more ideas. You’ll die full of them.
WRITING TIP, something simple but it catches many of us out: if you have a great/fun idea for your story, *use it now*.
Don’t save your ideas for some nebulous other story you might write tomorrow. I promise you’ll have more.
Break your story’s status quo. Go a step further. Use the big idea.

My HS Drama teacher directed a production of The Zoo Story using a real knife and a board in the actor's coat. The two guys were rehearsing before a show, forgot the board, and the actor got stabbed for real.
Only thing that saved his life is the knife was so sharp it stuck into the bone of his rib.

Our student theatre group had the bright idea of using actual knives on stage for authenticity. The blade missed my aorta by about a centimetre
