The second of Jane Austen’s novels, first published in 1813, is the most often adapted, inspiring various different takes on it. The ones pictures above are detailed below:

Pride and Prejudice (1940 Film)

This black and white film departs from the original novel in some (or should I say many?) points

Features 100 episodes in the International cut. The telenovela has been broadcast in other countries and languages (such as Spanish) but as far as I know, not in English.

Starring Tiffany Hines as Elizabeth Bennet, Juan Antonio as Will Darcy, Raney Branch as Jane Bennet, Brad James as Charles Bingley, Reginae Carter as Lydia Bennet, Carl Anthony Payne as Rev. Collins, among others.

*****

Personal favorites: 2005, then 1995. But also: The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Orgulho e Paixão

I also enjoyed Atlanta and, while it’s been a while since I’ve seen Bride and Prejudice, it’s got Indian musical numbers so c’mon, one gotta watch it.

Back to the closer adaptions, despite its age, 1980 is also good! 1940 is...very different, but fun in its own way.

In fact, while I find some of these versions weaker, I could find enjoyment in all of them - but maybe that’s cause I’m a sucker for P&P.

The Secret World Backer RAW PDF

So I got my copy of the RAW Backer PDF and here's what stood out to me from the lore chapters (spoilers below the break):

General

It's been 10 years since the Tokyo Incident, and Gaia has started a new "mass awakening" of bees after the 2012 surge.

Apparently, something called "The Long Night" has made everyone's memories kind of hazy about what has exactly happened in the past 10 years, the Hive might have triggered a "soft reboot" of the Fourth Age.

It also mentions that with so many active bees this time 'round, Anima is being spread a little thin.

There's sense that the Secret World has been pushed back into the shadows, but the End of Days have gotten more urgent, and the Gaia Engines are in a worse state than they were in the MMO.

There's more information on the origins and motivations on the Host, Grigori, and Nephilim.

Zuberi is the default mission contact, though you can make use of your own. He's also the Independent "faction handler".

Sarah has made it out of Tokyo and now is working in Paris

Factions

Amparo Osorio is now the public head of the Council of Venice, Arturo Castiglione was forced to retire after the whole Phoenician blackmail was revealed.

Apparently Lorraine did have another child, named Emma, while she was a Council agent and they told her the child had been stillborn. Make of that what you will.

The Big Three have remained much the same, but Dame Julia went missing going after Marquard in the DRC, and the Dragon have a new Golden Child.

Sonnac is also confirmed to be related to 13th Century Templar Guillaume de Sonnac.

Bong Cha is still in Seoul, the Dragon had placed in her in a psychiatric treatment center after Daimon took over....and she wandered back to the temple and is being treated as if she's a new recruit.

Che leaked a bunch of Morninglight files about the Tokyo bombing and split the cult in half. Marquard and his followers are still holed up in the DRC, and Che took the new age crowd to Costa Rica.

Solomon Island

Solomon Island ... is fine, everything's fine. Helen Bannerman is now mayor, Andy Gardner is Sherrif and married to Moose, Rogêt is still playing up the fake psychic schtick and everything is fine...

Except no one can remember what exactly happened because of the Long Night, including how the fog was lifted and the anniversary of Andy and Moose's wedding.

Whenever a problem does come up and Andy goes to investigate, it magically solves itself as if it never happened in the first place.

Norma Creed might have also disappeared before the Fog was lifted.

Montag, Usher, and Carter from Innsmouth Academy actually do remember the past 10 years, and Montag was able to discover a way to cure a Filth infection in its early stages. Unfortunately he himself is in a terminal stage and can't leave the academy grounds without risking the spells holding his infection in stasis.

Carter is working for the Illuminati to discover a cure for Montag. She needed massive resources and few scruples, the firm of Eye, Heart & Pyramid has both.

The Wabanaki have completed that eyesore casino, but they mostly use it to perform their rituals to keep back the Dreaming One under Blue Mountain.

Did I mention a new mining company bought the Blue Ridge Mine and are actively excavating the Gaia Engine?

Egypt

Meanwhile in Egypt, the Valley of the Sun God remain under the watchful protection of the Marya, even as the Atenists apparently take a page out of the Morninglight playbook and opened a "Wellness Center" in town.

Shani still runs the Marya from town, while Nassir is in charge of the Training Camp protecting the City of the Sun God. Apparently he and Said play online scrabble together.

The Sentinels are no longer bound to their statues in the City of the Sun God, but they can communicate through their old shrine...maybe? Either way Marya have taken over guarding the site.

Abdul Doud is a story hook since we never find his body after Last Train to Cairo.

Transylvania

Remnants of Mara's Vampires still wander Transylvania, but not in the same number as in the MMO.

The Draculesti have made their way back to Transylvania, mostly to keep an eye on things.

A Werewolf pack has made their way to the Carpathians, claiming to want to create a home for werewolves among the mountains

They don't want the werewolves who served in Mara's army though, apparently they're tainted.

There is a new facility in the Nursery, called the Bachman Institute, that studies the effects of Fungal Filth on voluntary test subjects.

Tokyo

Anima managed to cleanse Kaidan, but her and the Gaia Engine have vanished from Orochi Tower.

Kaidan is now the Secret World equivalent of Casablanca with Kaoru and the Dream Palace playing the role of Rick Blaine and his cafe.

Ricky Pagan has started new gang of Pagans to watch over Ginpachi park.

Harumi and Yuichi have a new apartment outside of Kaidan.

New Stuff

There are three new cities, Boston, Paris, and Mumbai

Boston has its own Illuminati branch office, who think themselves the rivals of the New York office.

The city is the home of several magical covens, some more subtle than others, all of them don't trust the Illuminati.

There's also a group of former black ops government agents in Boston who got burned out covering up the Secret World.

The Fog has rolled into Boston Harbour.

Paris Templars are apparently less posh than London Templars and are constantly fighting against the ghouls that inhabit the Paris catacombs. They may have caused the Notre Dame fire....

The Templars supported the French Revolution once they discovered the Bourbons were reptilian demons from the Hell Dimensions.

Mumbai is Dragon territory, but is also home to a Jinn worshiping cult and the new headquarters of the Orochi Group.

Samael has created a new cult of Kali (which is a little Temple of Doom, but is explicitly noted to be different from actual Kali worship) in an effort break Lilith from the extra-dimensional prison the Nephilim locked her up in. It hides behind the facade of a gym in Mumbai.

Charles Boyer, Jennifer Jones, and Richard Haydn in Cluny Brown (Ernst Lubitsch, 1946) Cast: Charles Boyer, Jennifer Jones, Peter Lawford, Helen Walker, Reginald Gardiner, Reginald Owen, C. Aubrey Smith, Richard Haydn, Margaret Bannerman, Sara Allgood, Ernest Cossart, Una O'Connor, Florence Bates, Billy Bevan. Screenplay: Samuel Hoffenstein, Elizabeth Reinhardt, based on a novel by Margery Sharp. Cinematography: Joseph LaShelle. Art direction: J. Russell Spencer, Lyle R. Wheeler. Film editing: Dorothy Spencer. Music: Cyril J. Mockridge. Ernst Lubitsch's celebrated "touch" was mostly a good-humored, occasionally naughty irony and a flair for pulling off sly sight gags such as the one that ends Cluny Brown: Cluny (Jennifer Jones) and Belinski (Charles Boyer) are looking at his book in a shop window when she's suddenly taken faint, followed by a cut to the shop widow in which a sequel to Belinski's book is now displayed. The gag works only if you've caught the set-up, a joke I needn't spoil, but it's a reminder that Lubitsch, like so many of the great directors of the '30s and '40s, learned his trade in silent films. Which makes it all the more amazing that he was so deft with dialogue. Cluny Brown is also a great showcase for its stars, Boyer and Jones, who were never quite so charming in any of their other films. Especially Jones, who was manipulated by David O. Selznick into so many roles that she had no business playing, such as the supposedly sultry Pearl Chavez in Duel in the Sun, a film that appeared the same year as Cluny Brown, but whose action seems to be taking place in another galaxy. That Jones could move from Pearl to Cluny with such grace suggests that she was a finer actress than Selznick ever let her be. Cluny also showcases some wonderful character actors, especially the always welcome Richard Haydn as Cluny's unsuitably prissy would-be fiancé and Una O'Connor as his mother, whose "dialogue" consists of clearing her throat. But mostly the Lubitsch finesse is what saves Cluny Brown from turning into the twee horror it might have been with its gallery of talkative eccentrics and off-beat situations. Instead, it's a refreshingly delicate comedy shadowed only by the fact that it was to be its director's last completed film, a reminder of the exchange that took place at Lubitsch's funeral when Billy Wilder sighed, "No more Lubitsch," and William Wyler replied, "Worst than that. No more Lubitsch pictures."

Understanding the Historical Context of "Uncle Tom" and "Sambo" in African American Culture In exploring the complex layers of African American history, two terms often emerge, steeped in controversy and emotion: 'Uncle Tom' and 'Sambo.' Both born from literature but adopted into the vernacular with significantly altered connotations, these terms encapsulate a struggle far beyond their literary origins. 'Uncle Tom,' derived from Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1852 novel, has come to symbolize submission and betrayal of one's race, while 'Sambo,' originally from Helen Bannerman's 1899 book, evolved into a caricature demeaning African American men. Understanding the transformation and cultural impact of these terms is crucial in grasping the nuances of racial identity and resistance within the African American community. https://thunkdeep.com/understanding-the-historical-context-of-uncle-tom-and-sambo-in-african-american-culture/

This image depicts "Little Black Sambo" (1931), a popular children's book written by a Scottish woman named Helen Bannerman and published in 1899. The author illustrated her Black protagonist with exaggerated, stereotypical features. The book continues to be a source of controversy, and the term "Sambo" is widely recognized as a slur.

DnD Highlights

So I started a campaign with my brother yesterday. It’s just the two of us, with a party of 4, so he controls 2 characters, and along with my duties as DM, I control 2 other characters in the party.

The roster:

Cletus, a hill-dwarf rogue with severe social anxiety; decided to become a rogue so no one would pay him any mind. Is the “legs” in his kids-in-a-trenchcoat arrangement with Rebound. Controlled by my brother.

Rebound, a forest gnome sorcerer who fell in a portal thousands of years ago, became a quasi-divine entity, and got spat back out a portal in the last year or so; unsure whether he is or is not part of that entity any longer. Is the “head” in his trenchcoat arrangement with Cletus. Controlled by my brother.

Helen, a half-giant bannerman (my own homebrew class) picking up a side job to help make ends meet; work has been a little light from her liege, so she’s hurting a bit financially. Has two warhorses, Rosy and Perkins, who pull her around in a chariot because she can’t afford an elephant.

Nick, a sloth-person witch (again, my homebrew class), reasons unclear about taking the job. Brews lots of potions, most hallucinogenic, some useful. Likes to travel.

Adventure Summary:

As their first job with the Planar Express delivery company, the quartet are delivering an extremely non-fragile, yet extremely valuable package to Crackling Hill, the home of an old friend and long-time customer of the Professors who own Planar Express, on the shore of Heartscar Lake, just beyond the Forest of Screaming Death. The Professor emphatically assures them many times that the probability of death is very low, according to some statistics she read in the last ten years.

Highlights so far:

The Professor is a blatant Entrapta insert; I make no apologies, she is a delight to play.

Her oil-stained t-shirt reads “wanted for breaking the first law of thermodynamics”

She refuses to divulge her name, which prompts Rebound to call her Professor Bruce.

“Beware of Mongoose”

“Feed the oviraptor at your own risk”

The cart most of the group travels in is sentient

Nick gives Rebound a drop of one of her potions while they travel. This takes him back to the days when the wonders and horrors of the universe were driving him insane; good times, good times

Numerous slips on my part in referring to Rebound and Cletus as “guys” instead of “guy”; get it together, man!

Helen carrying Nick over her shoulder, on the end of Nick’s staff like a hobo bindle

The group falls for a pit trap, and gets attacked by an ogre right out of the gate; I didn’t mean to roll a deadly encounter, guys! Guy, I meant guy!

Helen charges in her chariot, lance levelled at the ogre. Her attack modifier is +7.

She rolls a 2 and completely whiffs it.

Her horses charge right past; should I have made an Animal Handling check, I should’ve made an Animal Handling check

Ogre-boy (or girl, I never asked) makes opportunity attack; Helen has an AC of 21.

1-HIT KO! THE TANK IS DOWN OMIGOD WHATDOIDO???!!!

Rebound casts a mean Witch Bolt. Literally, it splits his finger into two prongs like a tazer before it arcs to the ogre #wildmagic’sabitch

Nick casts Wall of Thorns with her Staff of the Woodlands (maybe a bit OP for 1st-level characters? Maybe, Maybe)

Ogre rolls a Dex save to avoid the thorns; for any non-DnD fans, ogres are pretty not agile

NAT F%$@*& 20!

Still almost bloodied, though, and pulls a Benny (”Looks like you’re on the wrong side of the THORN WALL!”)

Does the ogre thing and ploughs right through the wall, taking a heap more damage; he’s looking like he took a bath in a paper shredder

CLETUS DOWN! LEGS DOWN LEGS DOWN!

WITCH BOLT! *rolls 3 damage* GODDAMNIT!

Nick rolls 20 damage with Chromatic Orb and melts ogre’s face and starts handing out homebrewed healing potions (has cemented her place in canon as resident badass)

Rebound swallows half of healing potion and (I shit you not) spits rest into Cletus’s unconscious mouth

EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW

SHORT REST!
