For Sunday, 19 July, I’m thankful for title cards. Hear me out. Recently I was reminiscing about one of my favourite bad horror movies, Night of the Lepus: And it clicked that that movie’s title card reminded me of something. So I looked through my screen saver images (I know), and found it: That’s… Read more »
Space Weirdos!
For Sunday, 16 August, I’m thankful for Space Weirdos. Two weeks ago a couple friends and I played a three-way game that was a blast, even though it was a blow-out for me. One of my buddies mustered a horde of Mantic Games’ Space Zombies and Ghouls. Witness the canage: My other buddy attacked… 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 »
Fifty Years of MetAl!
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 »
Asking for Pirate Dinosaurs! With a Side of Egyptians.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Now that Reaper is finally wrapping up Bones 6 I’m looking forward to them launching Bones 7 sometime — hopefully early — this year. As I mentioned — Holy Hannah! Six years ago? — Bones 4 gave us both Sci-Fi Dinos and Savage Dinos. Bones 5 gave us Fantasy Dinos… Read more »
Contact!
This Sunday I’m thankful for Flint & Feather, by Crucible Crush. Specifically their about-to-end-in-a-few-days Kickstarter for … Now I can game all my ancestors!
The Gray Champion of the ’20s
I recently decided to look into the concept of The Fourth Turning: Turns out I’m not the only one thinking the ’20s are going to get even more interesting. And, since there’s already been some discussion, what if he is The Gray Champion?: Whether you decide to go with Spectre’s striding, or Dragon Bait’s shooting… Read more »
WhAM-on!
Most rules game either historical order or fictional chaos. I’m interested in what skirmishes will look like during the transition period from the former state to the latter. What does war look like when — while — every nation is falling apart? [See my earlier post HERE.] [See Also: cycles within patterns?] Yyeeaarrs ago I… Read more »
More Thanks
Saying Thank You on Sunday. Oathsworn’s Burrows & Badgers and Northumbrian’s Nightfolk. Yeah, … I mean, look at these guys: They’re proof that I would love, LOVE, to see the Nightfolk written — hell, even as apocrypha — into Burrows & Badgers. That’s right. I’m goading you guys! Get it together. Oh, and …… Read more »
Illuminati Warfare in the Age of Madness
You know how Traveller‘s chargen is a mini-game you play before the real adventure starts? Well I’ve been thinking about this: To keep my tinkering and tests simple I think I’ll leave out all of both games’ expansions for now. I’ll stick to just the first Illuminati* pocket box cards and just the original… Read more »
