Wasn’t there a Shaq movie already called Shazam? Does that mean this movie has to be called Captain Marvel? Wait…just looked it up. It was called Kazaam, and it most certainly sucked. Anyhow, in less important, less Shaq-related news (now I’m in the mood to play Shaq-Fu), Geoff Johns, who we’re pretty much whores for […]
In addition to playing games, buying stuff, and hanging out with friends, seeing all the cool people and things is just as much a part of the experience as the rest of it. People in costume are always fun. All the games are cool. Just seeing the crowd of people sharing your interest is awesome. […]
Listeners to Ideology of Madness’ podcast, Funny Books with Aron & Paulie, will recall Jonathan Landreth had a lot to say about comics on his podcast, Kicked in the Dicebags, after our first episode. Jonathan was out of comics for a lengthy period. Listening to Funny Books, got him back into the hobby. We’ve invited […]
When folks think about awards at Gen Con, the Ennies generally come to mind. The Ennies are nice sure – if you’re into popularity contests. Nominees are selected by a panel of judges, but the winners are selected by fan popular vote. It’s kind of a People’s Choice Award for the RPG-set. Far more prestigious […]
I didn’t buy a whole lot at Gen Con. Three games. That’s it. This is really weird for me. Sure, I only picked up a few things at Fear the Con, but that was an awfully small convention with only one dealer. Even so, I bought almost as much there as I did at Gen […]
If you listen to the RPG podcasts coming out of last weekend’s Gen Con, you’ll no doubt hear a common question: What was your goal for Gen Con? Me? I came to town to play games. And I did. Lots of them. I’ve already mentioned Luke Meyer’s very awesome scenario for Hunter: The Vigil, “The […]
Do you guys remember The Black Scorpion? Back in 1995, Roger Corman had a series of Showtime movies, known as Roger Corman Presents, a series of sci-fi/horror/comic book movies aimed at, essentially, horny teens. My favorite (being a horny teen) was The Black Scorpion, starring Joan Severance (yowza!) as “Darcy Walker, a police detective whose […]
So…Archie proposes to Veronica this week. But that’s not all! We get a new Batgirl (I think it’s the Squire), Superman faces his Blackest Night, Daredevil turns 500…plenty of goodies! Replacing our old feature The Crap You Should Buy This Week, The Pull-List is our opportunity to tell you guys about the crap we’re going […]
Gamers have all played in games that were less than we wanted them to be. It’s easy to get the wrong mix of players at the table where they fail to listen to one another and support each other’s fun. The GM’s energy may be low. I’ve even seen where the entire group just doesn’t […]
