This stuff is total nerd pr0n for the D&D community. Not only does this make stunning use of new technology, but it evolves the whole “pen and paper” gameplay quality of standard roleplaying games and creates a complete digital facsimile of the entire mechanic, from rolling the dice to marking stats on a character sheet. With technology becoming used in this manner, pen and paper RP is going the way of the newspaper. Of course, there will always be those few who prefer the paper medium, but it is very obvious that electronic entertainment is taking over and becoming the new standard.

Iron Man was one of last summer’s blockbusters, as well as one of two films, along with The Incredible Hulk, that marked the debut of Marvel Studios as an independent film studio. The company had previously worked with other film studios on Marvel Comics film adaptations, including 20th Century Fox, Columbia, and Lionsgate, but as of 2008 the entity established a name for itself and funded its own properties, a move that allowed them to retain full creative control and not have to submit to the changes and demands of outside producers.
