Netflix is the leader in the entertainment industry with more than 93 million users worldwide. In fact, Netflix uses analytics to keep customers hooked by collecting data as users log in, browse and watch the content. But, how does it manage to produce shows that the audience loves? The Netflix algorithm jumps to work as soon as users log in. Collects user data while scrolling through the recommendations until they choose something to watch.

In the end, analytics gives enterprises the quantitative and qualitative data they need to make better, more informed decisions and improve their services. The core job of analytics is to help companies like Netflix gain insight into their subscribers. Eventually, Netflix can optimize the analytics results in marketing and delivering better content for its subscribers.

Hello adventures and adventurer planners of fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons. At Nerdarchy cleave to the concept that whether you are a player looking to make a backstory or a Dungeon Master developing an adventure hook you can get inspiration from anywhere. I am always looking at whatever I am doing to see how it can inform or inspire the games I run and the material I create. If you are familiar enough with Nerdarchist Ted, you are probably aware of my go to game. If not you can check it out here. Recently I have been bingeing the Locke & Key show on Netflix. I am not going to spoil the show so worry not. All you need to know for this post, which is in the trailer, is there is a house and it has keys that are magic. This is a simple enough concept to run with.

For those who have not seen the show I am not going to tell you about the keys to avoid spoilers, but I will say I am incredibly inspired to alter my Haunted Mansion game with a series of magical keys allowing characters to do fun and interesting things.

We know from the opening scene the magical keys are not limited to a specific location, but if you wanted to run the haunted house game the keys could be magically tied to the location, giving you a lot of liberty as to what they can do, without the concern they are too powerful and will wreck your game later.

They could be less powerful and have the ability to work outside the location where the keys are found. Lastly the keys could be somewhere in between. They could be very powerful at a specific location but their powers are lessened when removed from those grounds.

This gives you the best of both worlds and if you want to be really sneaky create another location that activates the full powers of the keys. Inquisitive players might be curious about why these locations are linked? Does it mean there are more locations like this? Are there more keys to find? This could be a powerful subplot or linked directly to your main plot if you are creative about how everything ties together.

Barring powers in the show, I have a few ideas for sure. Generically they could function like other magic items. Are they a magical focus or something that functions like a wand? They could have charges and allow certain spell usage, but it would not require any components.

As a nice takeaway remember as you are walking through a store or watching a show or movie, inspiration for our favorite tabletop game can literally come from anywhere. So keep those eyes and ears open.

The nerd is strong in this one. I received my bachelors degree in communication with a specialization in Radio/TV/Film. I have been a table op role player for about 20 years 17 of which with the current group. I have played several itterations of D&D, Mutants and Masterminds 2nd and 3rd editions, Star wars RPG, Shadowrun and World of Darkness. I am an avid fan of books and follow a few authors reading all they write. Favorite author is Jim Butcher I have been an on/off larper for around 15 years even doing a stretch of running my own for a while. I have played a number of Miniature games including Warhammer 40K, Warhammer Fantasy, Heroscape, Mage Knight, Dreamblade and D&D Miniatures. I have practiced with the art of the German long sword with an ARMA group for over 7 years studying the German long sword, sword and buckler, dagger, axe and polearm. By no strecth of the imagination am I an expert but good enough to last longer than the average person if the Zombie apocalypse ever happens. I am an avid fan of board games and dice games with my current favorite being Quarrios.

Netflix has cracked down on the use of VPN's and other location hiders and the software will recognise when one is in use. Netflix will work abroad (I don't know about Hulu) but you won't see the same films and shows that you'll see in your home country due to licensing isues.

I had this same experience last year, but while we lived in Italy, Unblock-US worked. I also found that with any VPN (usually I use HideMyAss on my laptop and hook up to a TV using an HDMI cable) I could stream CBS and PBS.

If you have internet service at home, you can always set up a VPN at home (hire someone or have a tech-savvy friend do it). This is something I did myself and know how to do - I'm assuming you wouldn't. Yes, it would cost you a one-time fee if you have to pay someone, but there would be no monthly fee, and when you connect to it from anywhere you are connecting to your own home network. Netflix and Hulu aren't going to block you on that.

I have been able to use Netflix (via their mobile app) in every country I have visited, even third-world countries; never been blocked. They only catch is that you are limited to Netflix's own shows. The Hollywood studio movies don't show up in the choices.

Alan, For those of us who travel for many weeks, it can be a great pleasure to spend an evening in with a home cooked dinner and a movie. We rent apartments often and cook in about half the time. After an 8-to-10 hour day of exploring and discovery in a foreign language, having my feet up with a glass of wine and a movie hits the spot!

I usually keep my mouth shut when I hear the "You shouldn't be in your hotel room anyway!" thing. I'm not a night owl. When traveling I like to have dinner in or out, maybe go for a walk, and then relax in a hotel watching a movie or a couple TV shows I like.

Don't feel bad. I watch TV shows and movies while traveling abroad as well. If I'm on a train with beautiful scenery, I'll usually look out the window, but often the scenery is nothing special, so I'll sometimes watch something on my phone. If I get back to my hotel early enough in the evening I'll also watch something but usually I am getting back late enough that I just want to get to bed.

I think it should be "to each his/her own" in what they do during their down time. In my most recent trip, I was traveling for 7 months. I spent a total of 4 months in the U.K., Scotland, and Ireland, and 90 days spread between Germany, Hungary, Poland, Belgium and France. I rented apartments as my stays were generally a week or more with a few 2 or 3 nighters. I enjoyed having entertainment in the evenings after long days of being out or on the few occasions I was in "sight-see" overload mode. I did not have any fancy vpn or back door things, just used my travel laptop and my existing Netflix and Hulu accounts. As previously noted I was unable to use HBO Now.

With young children in tow my wife and I have little choice but to spend the evenings in whilst they're asleep. During such times we often do what the locals do (much advocated here on RS) and watch Netflix/browse the internet.

The point is that you don't need a VPN to access Netflix, possibly Hulu as well. If you're in a country served by Netflix you can use the service without relying on a VPN. You can log into your account but you won't be able to see or access those films and TV shows that are not licensed for broadcast in the country you're in. I've been able to use Netflix in all the countries I've been to recently, with or without my VPN being on (I use HMA). What I can't do is set my VPN to a UK address and then try to view the Netflix offerings that are available in the UK.

Of course, no one goes to Europe just to watch Netflix or Hulu. Jet lag can do weird things, and being awake at 3 am with nothing on TV in English except for BBC news is certainly a good reason to use Netflix and/or Hulu. Plus, if you've got a child or teen, sometimes a familiar movie or TV show can be a perfect way to keep the peace after they've been dragged through cathedrals or art galleries all day.

As far as secret VPNS, I think the OP might want to try a tech forum, I"m sure they're out there. My friend in Canada finally gave up as Netflix blocked all the VPNS he was trying to use to get the USA content.

Again, the best solution (not always cheapest for some of you if you have to pay someone) is setting up a VPN on your home network. Netflix can't block you if they think you are on your home network. Yes, I know some of you don't want to mess with it personally. Find a tech friend or relative who can.

I just picked up a cheap Netgear wireless router at Goodwill for $3.99 (a relatively new one, which is why I bought it). I was surprised that it has an OpenVPN server built in. All you'd need to do is generate the certificates (find a how-to online) and hook it up on your home network. (Don't even need to replace your existing router if you wish not to - just forward a port through your home firewall to the router. Again, ask your tech friend to set it up if this sounds intimidating to you.)

You can now download lots of content from Hulu, Netflix, etc. But sometimes you still can't watch it abroad, as it's blocked. So, put your device in Airplane Mode and make sure the Wi-Fi is shut off. Your device will then think you are genuinely in an airplane, and you can watch the downloaded shows/movies, even if they're blocked in the country you're watching them in.

Once in awhile on Hulu I would see some pop up like "Oh. Looks like you are using a VPN" blah blah blah. I contacted VPN Express and they told me to just change the VPN location from CA to NJ (I think), and it worked.
