Yu-Gi-Oh! recently shared what new things to expect in a few months. The first thing that fans can look forward to is a new Machina Structure Deck called Mechanized Madness. Machina Citadel leads the new army with 3000 ATK and a Quick Effect that can turn Machine Monsters into grenades. Plus, you can revive the Citadel when an EARTH Machine of yours is destroyed. Here are two strategies that Mechanized Madness comes ready to implement:

“One way to get that plan into action is by launching an aerial assault with Machina Air Raider. You can discard a “Machina” to Special Summon it from your hand, potentially ditching a Machina Citadel to the Graveyard! During your opponent’s turn, its Quick Effect can destroy a Machine you control and salvage the scrap to Special Summon a “Machina” from your Deck with a different name and equal or lower Level than that Machine. After that, because the Machine was destroyed, a Machina Citadel in your Graveyard can come back at full force!

If a ranged attack is more your style, Machina Irradiator can accelerate itself on the field by discarding a “Machina” as well. Machina Irradiator can also destroy one of your Machines to Special Summon a “Machina” with a different name and an equal or lower Level than your monster, but from your Graveyard instead! While Machina Air Raider specializes in disrupting your opponent with its Quick Effect, Machina Irradiator proactively uses its effect during your own turn, so you can strategize the best way to turn the tides of battle!”

Mechanized Madness features a total of 42 cards with 37 Commons, 3 Super Rares, and 2 Ultra Rares. Players will also receive a double-sided Deluxe Game Mat/Dueling Guide with your purchase. You’ll be able to acquire Mechanized Madness on April 17 with an MSRP of $9.99.

Maybe you’re not in the market for a new structure deck though. Eternity Code is a new booster set and is full of new Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz-based strategies that shouldn’t come as a surprise after the reveal of Master Rule 5. You’ll find support for @Ignister, Ancient Warriors, and Plunder Patroll (a new archetype introduced in Ignition Assault). The key monster from Eternity Code is a new Link-6 @Ignister that has an ATK ranging from 3000-6000 depending on how many monsters are used for Link Materials. In addition, fans will find new Dragonmaids, Dinosaurs, Madolche, and Witchcrafters. Eternity Code will be available on May 1 with an MSRP of $3.99 and the following breakdown of 100 cards:

• 50 Commons

• 26 Super Rares

• 14 Ultra Rares

• 10 Secret Rares

The internet is in a frenzy over the Lucafilm’s Obi-Wan Kenobi series with headlines saying the production has been shut down and put on hold indefinitely. Before we dig into what’s going on, everyone just needs to calm down, this kind of thing is nothing new in Hollywood. Hell, Lucasfilm has had its share of hiccups over the past few years with many of their film projects, so I guess it’s expected at this point!

Basically, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy wasn’t happy with the way the development of the series was turning out. She was specifically not happy with the scripts that were being turned in. So, she made the decision to let go of writer Hossein Amini, put the project on hold, and go back to the drawing board to figure things out before they proceed.

The series is still going to get made and Kennedy is still actively moving forward with it, but it will go in a different direction with a different writer attached. Until they figure out the direction they do want to take the series, production on the project is on hold for the moment. According to Collider, “the scripts will be reworked with the hopeful goal of reassembling this summer.” THR adds that the plan is also to scale the series back from six episodes to only four to tell the story.

Lucasfilm has all the time they need to develop this project as they never announced a premiere date to shoot for. Yeah, we’ll have to wait a little longer, but in the end, they are going to deliver a Kenobi series. As long as the story is good and the scripts are written well, then that’s all that matters to me.

According to one source, the “Kenobi story treaded similar ground as Mandalorian, seeing the Jedi master lending a protective hand to a young Luke and perhaps even a young Leia.”

I’m fine with projects being reworked if it means that we’ll end up with a better product than it would have been. The report goes on to say that Kennedy “would rather ensure that the story being told with this Disney+ series is as good as it can be on the page before they roll cameras, and rather than move forward with hesitations.”

That makes sense to me! What would make even more sense is if they just brought Jon Favreau and his Mandalorian series creative team in to take it from here.

BREAKING: Obi-Wan Series on Hold as Series is Retooled

Looks like those pinning their hopes on seeing Ewan McGregor light up the lightsaber again will have to wait a little longer, as The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Lucasfilm’s planned Disney+ series about Obi-Wan Kenobi has been put on hold. Despite recent rumors that the show was cancelled, the show remains in active development with McGregor (Birds of Prey) still set to star and Deborah Chow (The Mandalorian) still in line to direct.

Reportedly the scripts by Hossein Amini (The Alienist, Drive) were the source of the problem. The stories, from the two scripts that were fully written, apparently focused on Obi-Wan protecting young Luke and Leia, and pre-production was well underway including screen testing other actors alongside McGregor. Part of the retooling process will now involve cutting the number of episodes from six to four. There is no current timetable for when the series will get going again, but it was aiming for a July 2020 production start.

This late-stage upheaval comes as Lucasfilm tries to regroup after a financially successful but tumultuous seven years that have seen multiple creative teams fired off of projects, including a Boba Fett film and an Old Republic movie given the heave-ho. The most recent theatrical release, J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, has brought in over a billion dollars but is now the worst-reviewed Star Wars movie of all-time.

The new series will take place eight years after the events of Revenge of the Sith, where we last saw Obi-Wan delivering the infant Luke Skywalker to his Tatooine homestead. The series will directed by Deborah Chow. Chow, Amini, and McGregor will serve as Executive Producers alongside Kathleen Kennedy, Tracey Seaward (The Queen) and John Swartz (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story). Jason McGatlin, Lucasfilm’s Executive Vice President Production, will serve as co-producer.

McGregor took over the role of Obi-Wan for the Star Wars prequel trilogy two decades ago from the late Alec Guinness. His last live-action appearance was in 2005’s Revenge of the Sith. However, McGregor also lent his voice to Rey’s Force vision in The Force Awakens. Additionally, McGregor hasn’t been shy about his desire to reprise his role.

Two years ago, director Stephen Daldry was supposedly lined up to direct a standalone Obi-Wan film. Unfortunately, the dismal box office performance of Solo: A Star Wars Story put all the spinoff movies on hold.

No other details about the potential Obi-Wan series are currently available. A few Star Wars novels and comics have explored Obi-Wan’s life on Tatooine between Episodes III and IV. Obi-Wan also had a memorable rematch with Darth Maul in Star Wars Rebels. But any story direction for the new show is simply conjecture at this point.

It has been reported that the Obi-Wan Kenobi crew has been sent home from Pinewood Studios.

Kumail Nanjiani is starting to tease the epic Eternals movie and talking about keeping his superhero physique.

In Dungeons & Dragons, you typically have a piece of equipment until you find a magical version of a weapon you can yield that has a cool effect. It’s natural. However, one thing that I’ve longed for in an RPG is the ability to take that weapon or armor you love and improve it. Enter The Armorer’s Handbook by heavyarms. This unofficial supplement is divided into two chapters to help implement an equipment upgrade system into your campaigns. The first chapter is all about non-magical improvements. This can include making armor breathable or insulated to help in different weather conditions. The second chapter introduces the technique of adding runes to equipment to grant magical properties. For example, you may attach a Serpent rune in order to give your weapon the ability to poison your foes when you hit. It should be noted that you cannot upgrade magical items. All in all, The Armorer’s Handbook looks like the perfect supplement for me.

“This supplement is a comprehensive modular framework that allows characters to improve their equipment as they see fit by finding some artisans and spending some coin! Chapter 1 covers nonmagical upgrades, which approximate the basic +1-3 progression of magic items in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Chapter 2 introduces rune magic as a means to imbue your equipment with magical properties, including a fully-realized crafting system for characters wishing to create their own runestones using simple gemstones.”

You can purchase The Armorer’s Handbook from DMs Guild for $9.95.
