This week, as part of staying close to my gaming group, we're doing a remote movie night- all watching a movie at the same time, and then getting together on our shared Google Hangout to be able to chat with each other. You can use some tools like this to stay in touch with your game group, or just your family!
Another thing you can use this for is research, and a movie like Howl's Moving Castle, which today's pic is fanart from, is RIPE for inspiration. It looks like a cute cartoon and not something that would fit D&D at all, right? WRONG! The story is about a woman who's cursed by a witch, who goes to work for a shapeshifting wizard during a war with another nation, in a house that not only moves around, but has a magic portal-door that leads to a variety of different locations. And that's not even giving away the major plot spoilers! If you can't make anything out of that, then sure. But... come on! So, give it a go. Try out something you wouldn't normally watch, read, or play. Watch the freakin' Care Bears movie from 1985, or the new Sabrina series, or some new anime thing (that Fast And Furious "street racers" cartoon looks a little dodgy, though!). You'd be surprised how many fantasy elements you can steal from that. And if you're stuck at home watching Netflix, try out something new instead of just Season 16 of Unfulfilling Law Enforcement Power Fantasies: Specialist Division.
