++ Critical Role posted official announcement the other day regarding developments for its upcoming fourth campaign, which features quite a shakeup. Among the news that Brennan Lee Mulligan will be the main DM for the campaign itself (which he further confirms in an interview), Matthew Mercer will be featured as a player at the table along with some familiar faces and newer faces as well, and that this will be a brand new world to explore.

( My further thoughts on the announcement. )

++ There is going to be a Hostel television series in development at Peacock, a bizarre choice given the subject matter of the incredibly violent and often polarizing horror franchise, however, I think if they play their cards right it could actually work.

( I have thoughts and opinions on this. )

As a fan of horror, I know that not everything is going to be an easy sell for the larger broader audiences, and it's not usually a genre most want to watch on television unless it's of the right target demographic and the story and tone is interesting (see: Hannibal). It makes me wonder how they'll market this Hostel series to begin with, because even if one hasn't watched those films many know of them and their reputation.
