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 »
Xenos Rampant: Last Stand
For Sunday, 9 August, I’m thankful for Xenos Rampant, Scenario Lima: Last Stand. When I was 13 I drove down to Origins Game Fair in San Mateo, California with a group of guys from Trumpeter. At the Con I played in a colonial game of Brits versus Zulus. I can’t remember which side I… Read more »
Aliens: Dead Orbit
For Sunday, 12 July, I’m thankful for the four-issue comic Aliens: Dead Orbit. This is a second entry in what looks like it’s going to be an ongoing series about comics I’ve been sitting on unread for nine years. I have to give some thought as to what the heck happened in 2017 and… 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 »
Cloud Class Starships
For Sunday, 21 June, I’m thankful for the Empire’s Cloud Class Pocket Cruisers. They are: Altostratus Stratocumulus Cumulonimbus The Imperial Pocket Cruiser Cumulonimbus, cloaked above a boreal coast while conducting strategic reconnaissance to Core:
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 »
Alien Legion
This past Sunday I’m thankful for Alien Legion comics. I mean, look at these magnificent bastards!: I collected it as it was coming out in the 1980s and -90s. It was such a fun read! About a decade ago I tracked down a few of the compilations and graphic novels. I still pull them… 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 »
Hydronauts!
This past 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… Read more »
