Get ready to power up! On this special bonus episode of Superhero Slate, Chris and guest host Patrick sit down with prolific game designer and founder of Lynnvander Studios, Tommy Gofton, to talk about his explosive new Kickstarter campaign: Dragon Ball Z: The Board Game Saga.
This game is a true survivor, having spent nearly a decade in licensing and development limbo across multiple publishers before finally breaking through to fully fund in just fifteen minutes! Tommy shares the incredible story of the game's resurrection, how his background in film helped shape his design philosophy, and why designing for massive IPs sometimes means throwing your own ego out of the window.
We dive deep into the game's actual mechanics, exploring:
- The Pendulum System: Why you actually have to "fail to progress" and take a beating in order to scale your power level—just like a true Saiyan!
- Stress as Health: How combining physical damage and psychic energy into a single "Stress" track cut down on creator's bloat to keep the gameplay fast and accessible.
- Breaking Canon: Why the game lets you pit Yamcha against Perfect Cell on Namek, and how the Boss Decks adapt to keep the scaling balanced no matter who is in your party.
- Cardboard vs. Miniatures: Why opting out of "74 waves of plastic" kept this massive game incredibly affordable and lightning-fast to produce.
Plus, Tommy gives us a sneak peek of what Lynnvander is bringing to Gen Con (Booth 518)—including a celebrity D&D stream with the cast of Arcane and Overwatch!
Whether you’re a die-hard Z-Fighter or a board game design nerd, this is one episode you do not want to miss.

- The trailer starts with a look at Downey Jr.’s green-hooded, metal-faced Doctor Doom as he prepares to invade the multiverse. There’s a shot of Prof. Xavier looking out his X-Mansion’s window as a bright flash of light is outside, signaling trouble. It’s a flood of crossovers from there: Gambit and Shang-Chi battle; Mystique transforms into Yelena Belova, resulting in a Florence Pugh vs. Florence Pugh fight; and Thor and Doom face off, but Doom catches Thor’s magical hammer Mjolnir with his bare hands. The most shocking moment comes when Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers return and meets Thor, taking his hammer from him like he did in 'Endgame.'

- Details revealed by Adam Driver:
- "I always was interested in doing another 'Star Wars,'" Driver said on Monday. "I had been talking about doing another one since 2021. Kathleen [Kennedy] had reached out. I always said: With a great director and a great story, I’d be there in a second. I loved that character and loved playing him."
- "We presented the script to Lucasfilm. They loved the idea. They totally understood our angle and why we were doing it. It was called 'The Hunt for Ben Solo' and it was really cool. We took it to Bob Iger and Alan Bergman and they said no. They didn’t see how Ben Solo was alive. And that was that."
- Details confirmed by Steven Soderbergh:
- "Sources close to the project emphasize that this was not a loose concept or early pitch. The film, operating under the codename Quiet Leaves, had a finalized screenplay and was entering early prep and staffing stages. Disney purchased a fully developed treatment and beat sheet, developed by Soderbergh and screenwriter Rebecca Blunt (the pseudonym for Jules Asner, Soderbergh’s wife, who also wrote Logan Lucky]), and hired Scott Z. Burns—who was paid more than any screenwriter in Lucasfilm history—to complete the screenplay.
- According to insiders, Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni, and Carrie Beck were directly involved throughout development and were reportedly enthusiastic about the drafts that came in. Kennedy and the Star Wars Story Group waited until the project was 'ready to shoot' before they presented it to Disney. When the final script, budget, and proposed start date were delivered to Disney, it marked the first time Lucasfilm had ever presented a fully approved project that did not move forward."
- Fans have paid for a "Save #TheHuntForBenSolo" banner to fly over Walt Disney Studios in Burbank and also a digital billboard in Times Square

- "On our shows, we were dealing with the old Marvel television regime, which operated independently at Disney. And they were thrifty," he admitted. "And every time we wanted to make the shows bigger or better, we had to bang on them. Our incentives were not well aligned. We wanted to make great television; they wanted to make money.

- Spider-Man Noir (50:45)
- Character descriptions revealed for upcoming series
- Ben Reilly:
- A retired superhero with the powers of Spider-Man who is too old and broken, both figuratively and literally, to suit up the way he used to. Instead, he takes low-level PI cases and stays out of the ones that involve high-profile names, like that of the Mayor. Through flashbacks, we find out about his past heroics, and past failures, that led him to this point. He is charming, but weathered, and the pilot does an excellent job of setting him up for a good character arc moving forward.
- Yuri Watanabe:
- A stage singer with unknown ties to crime organizations in New York City, including that of the mayor. Her character exists entirely through the eyes of Ben Reilly in the pilot, but there is an interesting larger story set up for her in the pages.
- Flint Marko, aka Sandman:
- A hired goon working for Yuri, but he has an unknown condition that causes him to turn into the Sandman. When he switches between identities, he has no memories of what the alter ego did while in control. It seems a decent amount of the story will revolve around him, and there is a lot of potential for this character to be a fan-favorite.
- Robbie Robertson:
- A reporter and friend of Ben Reilly's. Not a lot of depth to the character in the pilot but has fan-favorite potential written all over him.
- Mayor Delgado:
- A corrupt politician whose motivations and past are entirely unknown. The character exists as a setup for future episodes, likely as the main villain.
- Silvermane:
- An ageing crime boss whose plans to retire are thrown out the window after his mansion is burned down. It appears that he will be one of the other major antagonists of the series.
- Janet:
- Ben Reilly's secretary/second-in-command. Think Joan from Mad Men.
- Edward Addison:
- A man who can catch himself on fire with no harm to his body, and one of the Macguffins for the plot.
- Delgado:
- Another PI that has a good working relationship with Ben Reilly.
- Ben Reilly:
- Character descriptions revealed for upcoming series
