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

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 »
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 »
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 »
Genetically Engineered Uplifted Cigar-Smoking Mountain Gorillas. In SPACE!
This Sunday I’m thankful for half-price AT-43 Karmans. Yeeaars ago I bought these two figs from my local shop: I wasn’t looking for a new game to get into, I just thought they were cool models. Fast forward to early last year and my discovery of Xenos Rampant. What a game! While coming up… 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 »
