Mindblast Madness

Posted by & filed under BLOG, Comics, Skirmish, Space-poc, Thanks, Xenos.

  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!

  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.

There’s Gold in Them Thar Cels

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

  This Sunday I’m thankful for ’90s animation. There is a lot of great space-poc material in these shows. I’ve steered clear of huge properties and franchises for this list. A lot are pretty well known for sure. But some might be new to you. In a perfect world you’ll learn of a new show,… Read more »

The Lord of the Rings Really Does Rule Them All

Posted by & filed under BLATHER, Film, Thanks.

  This Sunday I’m thankful for the 25th anniversary theater release of the Lord of the Rings Extended Editions. I was lucky enough to get the last seat in the house Friday night for The Fellowship of the Ring. Yesterday I watched The Two Towers. Today I’ve got The Return of the King lined up…. Read more »

Local Conventions Are Fun

Posted by & filed under BLATHER, Rampant, Thanks, Wild West.

  This Sunday I’m thankful for Trumpeter Salute. It’s the biggest annual gaming convention in Vancouver. Last year — 2025 — I ran a game on Saturday that I’ll talk about later. But the games I played on Friday night and Sunday morning are why I really like local conventions. Friday night I played in… Read more »

Fifty Years of MetAl!

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

  This Sunday I’m thankful for fifty years of Metamorphosis Alpha. This post on Grognardia got me thinking again about how much I really like this game. It’s one of the only settings that can mine pretty well any and every science fiction genre and remain true to itself. You want mutant humans, animals and… Read more »
