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
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 »
Vargr!
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 »
Hydronauts!
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 »
Teleport Jump
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 »
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 »
