Rediscovered Realms is catching you up on some of the coolest fantasy news that just won’t fit in our regular weekly edition. Welcome to the April issue of The Phantasy Snitch! Rediscovered Realms’ denizens . . . er, citizens can now enjoy a curated lite dose of worthy Fantasy-related news, products, and rumours from the RPG, fantasy book, movie, D&D, LOTR, mythology, board game, art & archaeology genres (and you now have extra time to immerse yourself within all our other beefier newsletters!)
That's a great song 🙂 The point about using Archetypes for characters is an old trick I've used for characters in my novels. Building a melded person of these attributes isn't going to give you "real" humans but that's kind of the point - D&D and other heroes need to be bombastic and it's a neat trick to stick that landing.
Love it, Richard! Good point about "real" humans. The Archetypes definitely are more about the extreme or ideal. I think that's why Marvel and other superhero industry creations are the way they are (and why so many people were interested in them).
Glad you liked that song! I personally liked it a lot as well.
Thanks, Eric! I think it's never too late for "Indiana" Green to go on some adventures. (Supporting himself by his curator job, of course - those artefacts you find belong in a museum!)
Wowza, thank you so much!! Can’t wait to see how much XP I get from this generous loot pile ⚔️ But seriously I really appreciate you and the great content; thanks!
Thanks for pointing me out the Marianne Stokes' artwork! It's an awesome example of prerafaelite art: I was charmed by it! I will definitely use it in the future!
I was surprised by how cool her artwork was too, GMaia! It's thrilling to find long passed artists who had an amazing flair for the fantastical.
In this week's edition, I came across one of the most lovely pre-Raphaelite fantasy paintings I've ever seen - "The Accolade" by Edmund Blair Leighton in 1901. It looks like he has some other magnificent pieces as well.

The article on the Arthurian findings is just fascinating. Makes me wish I had followed my kid dreams of being an archeologist/antiquities curator.

I know that piece of art, awesome!
