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.

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 »

On this Sunday I thought I’d mention some figs I just came across this past week. I am thankful they exist, and you’ll be too. First, the explorer who made me realize the world needs more chicks with picks. I give you Miss Abigail Halsey: You can learn about her on the Mythos the Game… Read more »
