I have been avoiding the world of fairies and leprechauns for a few decades while I have been role-playing Tunnels and Trolls. I mean the jumping from one scale to another, lions in hobb-size and above, to rats and large cats in the shorter. The explicit magic all over the scenario and play, it can be worse then Willow from Buffy, the Vampy Tramper in a serious binge. Well my courage has been growing, and my notes are starting to get somewhere as well as the fact that I have found just the right... Read More

First there was Planet of the Apes, then came Kamandi from DC comics and Jack Kirby. Sometimes I just call it Planet of Kirby. And then came Gamma World, just before Thundarr, the Barbarian came on TV on Saturday mornings. I was glad when I broke a bone and couldn't play football on Saturday AM's just so I could watch Thundarr-- Arial was so hot. Then right around 1oth grade, The Road Warrior taught us all that it was punk haircuts and sports protective gear. And while Ronald Reagan was telling... Read More

You know these odd little things that reoccur either on the game table or in the literature of the day. The guy who tries to introduce a dark elf who fights with dual scimitars into the 1920's gangster role-playing session, because it worked so well in last week's 1789 pirate scenario, and the week before during the 2102 alien invasion setting.

Due to my chronic lateness (and the fact that I forgot he had a spot saved for me) I was unable to get in on the ground floor of Laggy's RPG "Cthulhu at the Sands" at the last GenCon.  When Monk and I arrived at the picturesque  Union Station, I was pleasantly suprised to find a comfy couch nearby so we settled in to watch for a bit.   I am not sure if it was the deft weaving of an excellent story, the comic timing of a superb group of RP'ers or a pleasant intertwining of the...

Had a slow night at work, so the partner and talked about the top ten most beautiful actresses for S-F, Fanasty, and Horror TV, film, and whatnot. Hence the reason why Peryton, NoirNervara, and CrazyCon Girl didn't make the list, though they'd top mine for sure if they were on TV. Jeri Ryan... Mz. Lucky #7 (... of 9); Christina Hendricks... I'd marry her too (Firefly); Laura Holden... I want her to pull me over (cop from Silent Hill); Denise Crosby... She should've been the Captain of the U... Read More
