Cowboys and Dinosaurs!

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Film, Thanks, Wild West.

  This past Sunday I’m thankful for Wild West dinosaur movies. The Beast of Hollow Mountain Dinosaurus! And, of course, The Valley of Gwangi All three are on Blu-ray now! Though I’m sure you could find them in a few places if you looked around. The only way any of these films could be improved is… Read more »

Catalyst Alpha

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Catalyst, Metamorphosis Alpha, Roleplay, RPG, Space-poc, Thanks.

  This past Sunday I’m thankful for the upcoming 50th Anniversary Edition of Metamorphosis Alpha! A year ago Catalyst Game Labs posted news they are going to release a semicentennial version of that greatest of SF RPGs, the Madness-in-a-Can that is MetAl! Metamorphosis Catalyst That just feels right. I’m looking forward to seeing where this… Read more »

Vampire Hunter!

Posted by & filed under BLATHER, Comics, Film, Thanks.

  This Sunday I’m thankful for Captain Kronos. I first learned of Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter from an interview Grognardia did with James Raggi eight months ago. (I’ve come to really appreciate the fact that as much as new films and shows are constantly being churned out, there is an, for all intents and purposes,… Read more »

Vargr!

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Galactic Heroes, STLs, Thanks, Theirs, Traveller, Xenos Rampant.

  This past Sunday I’m thankful for Vargr in combat armour. Some time ago I backed this Kickstarter in hopes of finally getting my hands on some Zhodani commandoes. That didn’t pan out as well as I’d hoped it would. What did happen though was an unexpected bonus. Over the course of the project they… Read more »

  This Sunday I’m thankful for Easter, obviously. I’ve also finally made my first move to STLs. And what better way to start down that road than with the spawn of the Frogstar, those batrachian bastards, the Hydronauts! You can find Interloper’s page on MyMiniFactory HERE. The toad-things hail from the pages of the Spaceship… Read more »

Sunday Roast

Posted by & filed under BLATHER, Thanks.

  This Sunday, I’m thankful for Sunday Roast at my local pub. When my wife and I were in England years ago we were lucky enough to enjoy a couple excellent examples of this classic dinner. Recently our favourite pub, The Irish Heather Shebeen, brought their Sunday Roast back into rotation. It’s a great way… Read more »

Teleport Jump

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Rampant, Space-poc, Xenos.

  In Xenos Rampant, the xeno rule Teleport Jump is a tough sell for me. I want to use it. Paying 1 point to be able to jump 11 inches (ostensibly 12) sounds good, but having your whole unit swallowed by the Warp on double 5 or 6 is hard to take. I played around… Read more »

Alien Horrors

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Space-poc, Thanks, Writ Fict.

  This past Sunday, and this St. Patrick’s Day, I’m thankul for Tim Curran and Weird House Press. I first discovered Curran’s work in an anthology called High Seas Cthulhu. That was a fun read. Curran’s short story titled, “The Wreck of the Ghost” really stuck with me so I looked him up. I was… Read more »
