This past Sunday I’m thankful for Xenos Rampant, Scenario Juliet: Recovery Detail. I was happy to find this post on Mad Lemmy’s Painting Blog: Xenos Rampant: Kindred vs Tau, Mission Juliet that describes he and his friend’s experience playing the senario. It sounded like a fun time so I got myself organized. I hosted… Read more »
The Dying Earth
This Sunday I’m thankful for The Dying Earth. The red Sun stories of Jack Vance are absolute marvels! If you’ve never read them, do yourself a favour and take a look. You can start as small as you want since his collection includes everything from short stories to novels. The second book is a… Read more »
More Ideas for Mutants and Death Ray Guns
In light of someone I was speaking with recently having started a campaign of Mutants and Death Ray Guns, I thought I’d post a half-dozen additional tables for generating and advancing models in your warband. ALTERNATE SKILLS TABLE : This pulls together all the skills listed throughout Project Simian Ultra X. EXPANDED ARMOUR TABLE… Read more »
Cyberpunk Mothership
For Sunday, 26 July, I’m thankful for Mothership. I’ve been reading Mothership’s Player’s Survival Guide — getting ready to run it this fall — and I was struck by how perfectly it captures its subject. I was also reminded of another game that did the same thing for its genre when it came out… Read more »

¡Tres Amigas!
For Sunday, 28 June, I’m thankful for the Tres Amigas! Left to right they are: Empolvada, Suertuda and Eda. I can’t remember where I got Empolvada. I thought she might have come from either Great Escape or Knuckleduster, but I can’t find her on either of their sites. I’ve had her for at least… 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 »
RT601
This past Sunday I’m thankful for Adventurers. Specifically creators who’ve set about painting each and every figure from the Rogue Trader miniature series RT601. Thus: I recently discovered there is a subculture of incredibly talented painters who — over the last decade or so — set themselves the goal of painting all of the… Read more »
