The post What Will Marvel Have at D23? – 10MinMarvel S4E5 first appeared on Nerdologists.]]>
It’s an interesting time at Marvel and with D23 Destination coming up. This is not the normal D23, but there is still a Disney Studios Event kicking off D23. Is Marvel going to have a presence there at all? And if so what could it be? In the past we’ve generally gotten a tiny tease and then as part of the Disney+ sizzle reel some Marvel teases for upcoming shows. Is Marvel going to give us that again this year? Plus the news and rumors for the week.

We got the tease in Captain America: Brave New World that Sam Wilson is putting together a new team. So who is going to be on that team? It’s hard to figure it out, we found out as we tried to determine who he’d ask versus who is just going to be in Avengers: Doomday. Because everyone might be in that movie, but they won’t be Avengers. So who is going to just be in that movie and who is Sam asking for his New Avengers team?

Plus we have news and rumors around Doomsday, Blade, and Thunderbolts. And we’re getting ready for Daredevil Born Again starting this Wednesday.

That's the main topic on this weeks 10 Minute Marvel.

The post 10 Minute Marvel S3E35: What Disney+ Shows Need Another Season? first appeared on Nerdologists.]]>
The question is a simple one. We’ve had a number of Disney+ shows to this point that are a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And not all of these Marvel Disney+ shows are created equally, and not all of them need another season. But there are talks, and we cover in the news, that some of those shows look to be getting new seasons. So which of the shows do we feel like could use another season, or ones that we want most?

Plus there is a lot of news. What If now seems to have a release time frame. And we know the titles of the What If Season 2 episodes. Plus Echo, Fantastic Four, and a whole lot more to cover in our Marvel news.

The post 10 Minute Marvel: Marvel News Round-Up first appeared on Nerdologists.]]>
I’m back after missing a week when I was under the weather. No topic this week as I wasn’t able to get out and see The Eternals. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t news. First off, how did The Eternals do on it’s opening weekend box office. Plus a new Spider-Man No Way Home Poster, Hawkeye Podcast, Disney+ Imax movies, and Marvel Dice Throne to catch up on. It’s a short episode, but a good amount of Marvel news to pack into it.

Thanks For Listening

I hope that you are enjoying the podcast. If you are, there are a few ways that you can help support. First, share it with your friends. But you can also subscribe or leave a rating and review. All of those things help the podcast continue to grow.

Comments/Questions?

Let me know your non-spoiler thoughts on The Eternals. I’ve heard very mixed reviews about it from some people loving it to other people hating it. Let me know your thoughts on their newest movie. Are you seeing it in theaters or waiting for Disney+? I’m hoping to go this weekend or early next week, though we’ll see if it makes it into the podcast in time.

And if I can’t make it, let me know what topics you’d want covered in the upcoming weeks. I’m always looking for more comics to read as well as characters to cover. I might cover the Sinister Six coming up here soon as Spider-Man No Way Home isn’t that far away from coming out. Right now the rumors are that we’ll be getting a Sinister Six group of some sort in the movie, but we’ll have to wait and see. You can leave a comment below or over on Twitter @TheScando or with #10MinMarvel.

I will say, don’t tweet the leaked images to me from Spider-Man No Way Home. I’m trying to avoid spoilers on both that and the Eternals still at this point.

Point of Order: Fireball Island https://nerdologists.com/2021/06/point-of-order-fireball-island/ https://nerdologists.com/2021/06/point-of-order-fireball-island/#respond Mon, 21 Jun 2021 13:37:27 +0000 https://nerdologists.com/?p=5804 Some new games are coming into the collection, including Fireball Island. What else is showing up and what do I want to play next?

The post Point of Order: Fireball Island first appeared on Nerdologists.]]>
So I’ve been holding off a tiny bit on buying board games. I’ve actually even dropped or reduced a few Kickstarter pledges. Some of that is that there are games like Descent, Unfathomable, and Slay the Spire coming out that I want to try and buy. They all seem like my type of game, and I only have so much room and so much budget for board games each year. But I did get a game I’ve been looking at for a long time in Fireball Island, and a little bit more.

Marvel Champions Drax

Now, this is a bit of a standard first one and generally why I write these articles. Monthly Marvel Champions comes out with something new and in this case, they are continuing to build off of the Galaxy’s Most Wanted expansion to add in more of the Guardians of the Galaxy. We now are able to play as Rocket, Groot, Gamora, Star-Lord, and Drax. And Nebula is coming. More characters is always fun and always reminds me to pull the game out and play more.

Doodle Dungeon

The other game I picked up at my FLGS was Doodle Dungeon. This is a new game from Pegasus Spiele, and looks like a lot of fun. This game reminds me of Boss Monster and a Roll and Write smashed together. In Doodle Dungeon you are making a dungeon. But unlike Deadly Doodles where you an adventurer delving into the dungeon, here you want the dungeon to win. The hero must die, they shouldn’t kill your monsters and of course not steal your treasure.

Doodle Dungeon

Now, do I need another game like this when I already have Boss Monster? Oddly enough, I had pulled Boss Monster off the shelf to sell recently because, while I think the game is a lot of fun it is a bit clutchy. The rules aren’t as smooth as they should be, and the game takes a bit to get going. I am hoping that Doodle Dungeon will work better for me.

Kohaku

This is a game that I’ve been eyeing for a little bit, mainly since GloryHoundd played it.

But what is drawing me to the game? Firstly, I like the aesthetic of the game. The tiles look amazing and different than a lot of other games. It also seems like a simple game. You draft tiles and do set collection around points, basically, and that’s it. I think this is a game that my wife will like but also one that I could take to play with my parents, or a heavier gaming group as something different. I like games to seem to offer a variety for a lot of people.

Kohaku

Fireball Island

Finally, we have Fireball Island: The Curse of Vul-Kar. This is a kids game, basically. Or more so now a family game. There was an original Fireball Island from the 80’s that was fine from what I’ve heard. It just had an awesome marble chute and cool 3D board. This version keeps all of that but adds in more game to it. It isn’t a roll or spin and move anymore, instead you are play cards to move.

This is one that I got to see and kind of demo at GenCon in 2019 and while I don’t know it’s a game that I will play all the time, it is fun. The game play is very simple and should work to play with the toddler in a few years, but can be played with friends now. I haven’t bought it until now because it’s a $75 game.

However, at Target, I happened to spot it on the shelf with no price. So I took it to one of the scanners and it was listed at $30. SO I definitely had to buy this game I’ve been looking at. My guess to what happened, and I’ve seen this happen before with Magic: The Gathering cards is something got entered into the system wrong. Fireball Island should be retailing at $75, like I said, but the expansions, $30. So someone, somewhere, priced it as if it were an expansion when it was the base game. This will likely get fixed soon, but if you really want to try and get it cheap, right now might work.

Which Do You Want To Play?

For me, I think the one that I want to play most is Kohaku. That one is just pretty and it’s been on my radar, like I said, for a little bit. Though Doodle Dungeon does look really cool and I already know I love Marvel Champions. I should just play some more games coming up here soon. Marvel Champions for sure because I can play it solo.

We have our first Eternals trailer. Not too long ago we got our first tease of Marvel’s Eternals but now we have our first full trailer. And while we don’t get much plot, we get to see a lot of interesting characters in action and the world that is being created. Along with that, a new Marvel audio drama coming June 1st and maybe another trailer next week. Finally we wrap up with Doctor Strange 2 rumors and what they could possibly mean.

And as I promised in the episode, here is the Eternals trailer if you haven’t seen it yet.

Point of Order: More Pitchcar https://nerdologists.com/2021/05/point-of-order-more-pitchcar/ https://nerdologists.com/2021/05/point-of-order-more-pitchcar/#comments Fri, 21 May 2021 14:07:04 +0000 https://nerdologists.com/?p=5692 From new Pitchcar to Dungeons and Dragons books, what has been added to my collection as I dive into a pretty big Point of Order.

The post Point of Order: More Pitchcar first appeared on Nerdologists.]]>
A double article Friday today, mainly because I have a tiny bit of catching up to do on my Point of Order. Yes, I have more board games coming in and a lot of them were bought on sale. You can see some of the Pitchcar at the start of my Malts and Meeples stream from Wednesday. Middara is certainly not one of them as that was Kickstartered early 2020 or late 2019. Let’s get into what is coming or has been picked up.

Pitchcar Extensions 1, 6 & 7

Pitchcar
Image Source: Self

I was able to play Pitchcar for the first time on Tuesday, but even before that, I knew I wanted to get more for it. In particular, I want The Loop. Extension 7, which I believe was on Kickstarter, is just a loop you can add to the track. This wooden track, so not sure how they make it, but it’s a new obstacle. Can you flick a disc with enough force to go up and around a loop? Or at least flick it hard enough so it will drop onto the next section of track? Then the other extensions add more pieces to create an even bigger track.

I’m not sure if it is still going on but Eagle-Gryphon had Pitchcar on sale.

Marvel Champions: Star-Lord and Gamora

The last Marvel Champions expansion was The Galaxy’s Most Wanted. That was a campaign one that came with Rocket and Groot. So we knew when that was announced we would get more Guardians of the Galaxy characters. And yes, we did, so now you can take two characters this month and try and tackle the Galaxy’s Most Wanted campaign, or go four players and have a full team. I need to get them and a lot of other characters played, which I say every time. I should just set it up and play some evening soon.

Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything

Now, what is this? This isn’t a board game, instead it is a book for Dungeons and Dragons. I planned on getting this way sooner, but I was holding out hope to get the special cover. Unfortunately that was not in the cards. So, I broke down and I bought the regular one. This comes with all sorts of things, new spells, , some DM tools, but mainly I got it for the new character options. They add in a lot of new subclasses that the players can delve into. This just gives the players even more toys and more crazy things they can do.

Aeon’s End Expansions

You know the drill, I now have everything for Aeon’s End. Well, when I say everything, I mean, all the big boxes and all the small box expansions. I don’t need all the promo cards, that would just be silly to track down. But the last two expansion, small box, were consistently sold out, but then I looked on Miniature Market and they had both. So I grabbed them with another game, which I’ll talk about next. More Aeon’s End isn’t a bad thing, and it is a game I need to play more of as well.

A Gentle Rain

Now, I don’t know if this is an activity or a game? A Gentle Rain has you flipping tiles and matching symbols on the sides of the tiles. Your goal is to place the tiles to get completed blocks of four tiles. When you do, you place a token. The goal of the game is to see how many tokens you can place. A Gentle Rain is a true solo gaming experience, but since it is so simple, you could play it cooperatively. I just like the sound of this game as another, like Onirim, really fast solo game.

Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft

Another Dungeons and Dragons book has made it into my orders. This one I do get the fancy art cover for, because I pre-ordered it. I will say, with the fancy art covers for these books, order them ahead of time through your FLGS if you can, there is no guarantee how many Wizards of the Coast will make. This book will have some for the players, but it’ll mainly be for a Dungeon Master who wants to run a game in Ravenloft. Do I want to run one there, sure, but like the Eberron book, I want it for the information to add to my campaign.

Deep Madness: The Oracle’s Betrayal

This might be about the end to what I get for Deep Madness, another game I need to get to the table. But I will own most of it and I can find the rest on eBay later if need be. The Oracle’s Betrayal just basically adds three more scenarios that you can play through. The theme of the game is cool, because while it is Lovecraftian in terms of the monsters, I don’t feel like monsters on a deep sea base is something that is done enough. Every time I think of the game I really want to watch The Abyss and The Sphere.

Danger Park

Now, this one is a bit sad. Story Machine Games, the publisher of Danger Park had to fold because of the Covid-19 pandemic. So they put all their stock on sale, including Danger Park. I picked up that game because it looks fun and I want a theme park game. Who doesn’t want to build a theme park that might be a little bit dangerous? Sure, there are risks but if something happens, maybe that’ll help you win the game. Who knows, this is a humorous game about building a theme park that unfortunately now will be harder to get. I checked their website, all their stock is sold out at this point.

So, finally, which one is the most interesting to you? Is there a game that you can to try out of this bunch, or maybe you want to get one of the Dungeons and Dragons books?
