As I shared earlier, I am sporting some major wood for Atomic Overmind Press’ new setting book penned by Ken Hite, The Day After Ragnarok. It’s written for Savage Worlds, detailing a world that ended during World War II. It looks awfully cool. The Day After Ragnarok was announced for May 27th PDF release last […]
Of the many laudable aspects of the Memorial Day Weekend – time with friends and family, BBQ, swimming in the pool, beer – my absolute favorite is the Half Price Books 20% off sale. During the sale, they provide an additional 20% off their everyday half-off prices on every item in the store. It’s a […]
Promoted as the original, longest running, best attended, gaming convention in the world, Gen Con is Mecca for us gamer types. It calls to us, speaking to the soul of the gamer. It is a pilgrimage, I am told, we all have to make at least once. This is my year. I’m going to Gen […]
Over the weekend, Paul announced the winner of the 100 Free Comics That Don’t Suck Give-A-Way. It was Bear Swarm’s Rob that won the day. He gave a nice shout out to IoM over on his podcast while at the same time speaking rather harshly of me. I suggested to Paul that perhaps, just […]
I’ve had some concerns over the last week or so relating to my second favorite holiday, Free RPG Day. My concern has been the site’s been down for at least a week and as the worldwide event is scheduled for June 20th, just five weeks away. Fortunately, news came yesterday via Ogre Cave that the […]
I was afforded the opportunity to take a peak at the entire first issue of We Kill Monsters coming this July from Red 5. You may recall We Kill Monsters from Free Comic Book Day, when the nice folks at Red 5 provided a free preview. Gotta tell you, this book looks awfully cool. It’s […]
I listen to a lot of podcasts. If you’re a frequent reader of this blog, you know that I am particularly interested in role playing game podcasts such as The Podge Cast and The Game’s the Thing. Both are extraordinary, delivering the awesome on a regular basis. I have a standing date on Monday morning’s […]
I’m a Saint Louis Cardinals fan. Cubs fans receive nothing but mockery from me, Royals fans, even more. Some might wonder why I’m such an ass to people that are fans of different baseball franchises. Why should I care? They don’t know me, the players would leave in a heartbeat for more money if it […]
I saw the new Star Trek movie last night. It rocked hard. Seriously, crazy awesome. Casting was brilliant, story was spot-on and the action was ladled in awesome sauce. JJ Abrams, please, please, please say you’ll make the next one. To give you an indication of how good the movie is and how well it […]
Good golly I loves me some Star Trek RPGing. I’ve been running Trek games since 1982 with the FASA system. It is a system that is long out of print. Since 1989 in fact. For seven years, FASA put out the best damned Trek RPG that would ever be published. I love the system […]
