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 »

The Kamandi Challenge
This Sunday I’m thankful for older comics. I collected this comic through 2017, and read the first three or four issues. Then my local shop closed. When a new one opened in the same spot a few months later I got them to order me in the issues I’d missed and then collected the… Read more »
Alien Horrors
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
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
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
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
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
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 »
