When thinking about King Tut, the image to the left often comes to mind. It is the death mask of 18th Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. It is the quintessential artifact of ancient Egypt. It is the piece that captured the imagination of westerners when the exhibit first toured the US more than thirty years ago. […]
Sorry, not going to give it away here. You’re going to have to read after the jump to find out! Tony Daniel (the current writer/artist of Battle for the Cowl) posted on his blog yesterday (the posting was removed later in the day, and now the blog is down entirely) some redesign ideas for the […]
Damn you, DC Comics. Damn you to hell! What has inspired my anger, you may ask? Why is a DC Comics fanboy crying out in hatred towards his beloved DC Comics? Well, because, starting in June, they want to make me broke. DC Comics released their solicitations for June this week, and the new line […]
In all of this talk recently of playing the evil character, there has been very little conversation about how the game master should run an evil campaign. Three episodes of two highly rated podcasts have been dedicated to the subject of playing the bad guys. These villains won’t GM themselves after all. Though they’ll try. […]
If you, like me, have ever dreamed of the day that you could hand a rabbit a handgun and watch it shoot another rabbit, then the below trailer will probably make your life. Catshit One not only has no cats in its trailer, it’s the first war film I’m actually looking forward to seeing. And […]
Last week writing in response to a recent Fear the Boot episode, I blogged about role playing evil characters. This week in what can only be characterized as wild coincidence, The Podge Cast recorded episode 35, Evil Urges. Guess what I’m blogging about today? The guys brought their A-game for this episode. From purely evil […]
Do you know what the Battle for the Cowl is missing? More Dustin Nguyen art. I mean, look at the piece to your right. Isn’t it bee-yew-tee-ful? I think so. Anywho, you can find that and tons more awesome art at his official blog, which was recently updated with some freakin’ excellent news! our Heart […]
It’s been awhile since I’ve enjoyed some event television. There can be no doubt that the final episode of fan-favorite series Battlestar Galactica was a big frakkin’ deal to the fans. Starting out with a heavy dose of angst, the show began four seasons, a movie, and a mini-series ago. Many were concerned over […]
This week’s Fear the Boot podcast, episode 140, deals with playing the bad guys or evil characters. Most games are focused on good guys – or at least not-evil guys – with traditional western values. The “evil” party of character presents a set of challenges all on its own. It is a topic the guys […]
Last night, I watched the HBO Film Taking Chance and cried like a baby. A big, man-baby, mind you, but make no mistake – weeping occurred. Seriously, it was like I had watched a marathon of Where The Red Fern Grows, The Yearling, Old Yeller, and Brian’s Song back-to-back without so much as a bathroom […]
