Hydronauts!

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Collection Stats, Galactic Heroes, Models, Ours, Roleplay, Space-poc, Spaceship Zero, STLs, Xenos Rampant.

  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 »

Mindblast Madness

  This Sunday I’m thankful for March MODOK Madness. I’ve been participating off and on for over a decade. It’s a lot of fun and those guys are making some really neat art. Go check it out. This year, to honour this great month, I hosted a game of Xenos Rampant on Friday at Trumpeter’s… Read more »

Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman

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

  This past Sunday I’m thankful for discovering the Zatoichi TV Series. A few years ago I picked up the box set of Zatoichi movies from Criterion during a flash sale. They’re so very good! If you get the chance, I highly recommend you check out that TV series from the ’70s as well. So… Read more »

Ariel, Ookla … Ride!

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Comics, Encounter Critical, Gamma World, Metamorphosis Alpha, Mutant Crawl, Mutant Future, Mutants and Death Ray Guns, Ours, Space-poc, Thanks, TV.

  This Sunday I’m thankful for the new Thundarr the Barbarian comic. Its nostalgia dial is turned up to 11 and I’m OK with that. It was a really fun read; it’s well written and the art is spot on. *cough* Mindok *cough* I don’t know what their plan is for this run, but Dynamite is… Read more »

A Very British Civil War

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Film, Thanks.

  This Sunday I’m thankful for 1938 A Very British Civil War. It’s been almost 20 years since I followed along from the start. I even tracked down the Popular 1-to-1 Ordnance Survey maps surrounding Banburyshire. This is a pretty good flick:   Dad’s Army, Jeeves and Wooster and Poirot are fodder. And this guy… Read more »

Meet Your Heroes

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Thanks.

  This Sunday I’m thankful for meeting my heroes. Two signatures in particular. There’s that expression that you don’t want to meet your heroes because you might be disappointed. I say go for it. They could be cool. It’s worth the risk.
