Surprised I’ve not posted about this yet. Two of my favourited films from the ’80s, Romancing the Stone (’84) and Big Trouble in Little China (’86) are great fun to watch at the same time. There’s quite a bit of synergy in them even though they’re not quite the same length. The weirdest bit of… Read more »
Sinister Pane
I wrote this monster for the Lamentations ref book. But, sad face, it was rejected. So here, it’s yours: Sinister Pane Armor 12, Move 0′, 9 Hit Dice, 27hp, see text for attack information, Morale 12. Brought into being by centuries of religious and political bigotry, scheming and murder, this window from Prague causes all… Read more »
Cutthroat Mummy
My latest foray: There are a number of cool things about watching this pair of flicks at the same time: 1. They’re the negative — role-wise — of each other: Cutthroat Island has a power woman and bookish man, The Mummy has a power man and bookish woman; 2. They’re the same length; 3. The… Read more »

Okko and Possessions
This anime from Short Peace: Could be a chapter from this comic: They’re both very good and have a similar vibe. Highly recommended.
Huckabear and Hodge

Huckabear (as created and described on Blog of Holding) is a powerhouse and paragon. I made him a Paladin in my campaign by adapting the article at Knockspell 1, pg 18… Read more »
Bricca, Brakka, Fiah-Cracka …
SISS-BOOM-BAH! But I digress. Here are my beloved Tiefling triplets: All are Reaper Bones figs. You can find them here, here and here. The Sibs in Lamentations of the Flame Princess All have 60’ darkvision, can create Darkness 15’ Radius* once per day, suffer half damage from cold, and are +2 on saves versus fire,… Read more »
The Perfect Party vs Party
The Con Game I Never Forgot When I was twelve or so I attended Trumpeter‘s annual Salute gaming convention. That year it was held downtown in conference rooms at Robson Square near the Law Courts. And I played in one of the most enjoyable games I’ve ever encountered. It was a PvP (Party vs Party)… Read more »
Lammicore
