If you liked the story of how Brosie the Riveter came to be, you can now buy his poster (along with his distaff counterpart) from WeLoveFine. It’s up to you to decide which of your walls can actually handle him. He’s a bit too much for our front page, even, so I’ve, uh, cropped him.

That was fast.
It was only on Tuesday we heard the news that Warner Bros. has acquired the film rights to Dungeons & Dragons and is hoping to make movie that won’t cause eyeball bleeding. But now a dispute over those rights makes it look like they’ll have to fight a legal battle before getting to the swords and magic one.

Buckle up. One of hallowed bastions of nerddom with one of the worst records at making a related movie that is in any way watchable has just been optioned for another adaptation. That’s right. Warner Bros. wants to make a Dungeons & Dragons movie.

Don’t be fooled by the regularly scheduled time of Cartoon Network’s DC Nation hour, Teen Titans Go! premieres tonight, at 7:30 EST. Don’t worry, Raven, we here The Mary Sue would never judge a person for watching a show intended for kids. Or whatever it is you’re hiding on that laptop screen. (Comics Alliance)

So boss. We discovered this epic illustration by Kyle Latino after stumbling upon a fantastic new Tumblr – Real Girls Gaming. Now, what kind of characters do you think each lady would be playing? Would they play to type or go in the opposite direction? Also, I bet Wonder Woman is an unforgiving dungeon master.

Because it doesn’t have Arabic numerals on it. io9 hypothesizes that this die (and another in the same collection) that dates from the Ptolemaic Period (that’s roughly between 300 and 30 BC) is the oldest D20 in the world.
So you could role a circle with a little dash in it, or a capital H, P, N, E, B, U, K, I or even a triangle.
But not a 20.

See that face Daenerys is making? That’s the face I’m making in the general direction of the New York Times today. Why? Because yet again they’ve trolled us and assigned someone who apparently hates fantasy fiction to review HBO’s Game of Thrones Season 2. That makes sense, right?

To people outside of the geek community, there is one phrase that conjures up a stereotype like no other: Dungeons & Dragons. I think folks see it as the crystal meth of geekery. You start innocently, just experimenting with a bit of Star Trek, then get sucked into comic book conventions in search of a more powerful kick, and before you know it, you’re rolling polyhedral dice in a dank basement, all hope of sex and hygiene lost forever.
And as we all know, it’s a hobby that girls want no part of.
Tabletop gaming doesn’t have the most glamorous reputation. But I am here today — a battle-grid-drawing, regularly-showering lady — to roll a natural 20 against those who might cringe or laugh at the mention of folks gathering around a table with sacks of dice and miniature monsters. Old-school gaming is indeed crazy good fun, but more importantly, it’s the perfect opportunity for women — nay, everybody — to stretch their imaginations and become the heroes (or villains) they’ve always wanted to be.

"SHARKS. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the uterus." - A thing I just said in chat, sans context.

In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.
