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 […]
Yesterday we chatted about the film scores for Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Wrath of Khan. Today? Everything else. Without a doubt, the weakest of the Trek scores has got to be the music for what is the most popular films of the franchise – Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. You know? The […]
Like a rutting Vulcan deep in the throws of Pon Farr, I have a burning passion for the music of the Star Trek films. From the ethereal movements of Star Trek: The Motion Picture to the explosive tracks of The Wrath of Khan, from First Contact to, yes, even Nemesis, I love the music of […]
As a fan of the Star Trek franchise – and in keeping with Star Trek Week here at IoM – I thought it might be prudent to do a few entries on Star Trek. Since I am just as much a whore as any other geek, I’ll use this opportunity to talk about some of […]
Good news, folks! WOTC made a surprise move by offering the Keep on the Shadowfell and the quick-start rules that came with it for free. That’s right, free! Our group just played through the module and we had a grand ole’ time. That’s not to say the adventure is something spectacular, but it certainly isn’t […]
