While everyone is focused on the big death in this week’s Fantastic Four #587, I think we’re far enough away from last week’s other BIG death to talk about it. I’m going to save spoilers until after the jump, but I’ll start by saying that I’ve made no secret that I haven’t been terribly behind […]
I suspect that there is not an adventuring party in the world that does not think that if they’re hired to guard a train, there will be a robbery attempt while they’re on guard duty. For that matter, the very idea is pervasive enough that it has parallels in almost any time and genre of […]
CAST OF PLAYERS: Debora Silkotch…………..Casey Gavin…………………………Human Psionic Aron Head……………….Story/Setting/Everything Else…….Game Master ********************************************* The interrogation went on. And on. And on. Until finally, Casey was slumped in the chair, head bowed and not a finger left on either hand. Through the process Mardmor burned her wounds to slow the bleeding. She was chilled, shuddering, battling shock. […]

It’s too bad my fellow Funnybooks co-host Tim doesn’t like horror, because 2011 has already proven itself to be a pretty good year for fans of the macabre when it comes to our weekly floppies. Three comics have come out in recent weeks that have all been pretty solid horror entries, and that’s certainly not […]
My friendly neighborhood gaming group just completed a campaign using the Mortal Coil gaming system. Generally, we are a traditional group, but we’ve played storytelling games before and one game that used a bidding system similar to the one in Mortal Coil and we’ve always found them enjoyable. But Mortal Coil proved to be a […]
On the heels of our interview with Amazing Spider-man scribe Dan Slott, Tim is inspired to bring the energy and bullies the rest of us into doing the same. Join the brow-beaten Aron, Paulie, and Wayne as Tim prods us forward. Aron’s messed up dreams NBC picks up the rights to the Wonder Woman TV […]
One of my favorite horror movies (of all time!) is a television movie named Ghostwatch, which aired on the BBC1 on Halloween in 1992. It was a horror mockumentary (like Blair Witch or Paranormal Activity), but was presented as ‘live’ television. It was only aired once in the UK and caused a storm of controversy […]
The truth of the matter is that Paul drug me to Amazing Spider-man kicking and screaming. I hadn’t read the title in more than ten years and while I loved the character, I’d not been jazzed by a Spider-man story in a long while. Then Paul introduced me to Spidey-scribe Dan Slott’s Big Time, the […]
CAST OF PLAYERS: Debora Silkotch…………..Casey Gavin…………………………Human Psionic Aron Head……………….Story/Setting/Everything Else…….Game Master ********************************************* “Ohhhhh…” Gerard Houseman’s decapitated head groaned. “…Ohhh… I feel awful.” It grimaced, eyes flashing to Mardmor. “I can’t move…” It looked to Casey. “We’re both prisoners, then? Of this guy?” Casey struggled to conceal her frustration. She should probably be feeling sorry for […]
