The COVID-19 Diary: Sunday 07 August

I realized a while back that I was ripping off drawing inspiration from The Avengers for my D&D campaign story line. A portal opening up over a major city to allow extra-planar creatures to swarm through and attack is a pretty similar plot.

I think I probably got the idea from the opening cinematic from the Baldur’s Gate 3 video game, that probably lifted it from The Avengers, that probably lifted it from any number of sources.

Anyway, once I realized this I decided to lean into it. Recently the players found a ancient scepter that resembles Loki’s scepter from The Avengers. Does it contain my world’s equivalent to the Mind Stone like Loki’s did? I suppose they’ll find out.

Stay healthy and safe.
