Chad gives a presentation on how to smoke a cigar. Surprisingly awesome!
Fear The Con 2: At The Hotel
I’m at the hotel where most of the out-of-towners are staying. It’s the Best Western in St Charles, Mo. It kinda sucks. The FtB discussion forums have seen a lot of discussion about how the hotel botched reservations in advance of the con. I experienced some of that myself. They lost my first reservation. When […]
Your Morning Head: Fear The Con 2
I am on my way to the airport to catch a plane to Saint Louis for Fear The Boot’s second year gaming convention, Fear the Con 2. Last year was balls out the best gaming convention I have ever attended. I’ve got high hopes for this year. No doubt, Fear The Con 2 will have […]
PaizoCon 2009: An Intimate Affair
At some point you just have to surrender to the realization that there are just more great conventions out there than you can possibly attend. Hopefully that occurs somewhere down the line well after you’ve been to PaizoCon 2009. Woot! PAIZOCON returns in 2009 bigger and better than ever! Officially sponsored and run by Paizo […]
Chicken Fried Awesomeness: Dead Space comes to Wii!
Tell you the truth, I’m surprised. I had heard Dead Space didn’t do as well as EA was hoping, so now I hear there’s a new Dead Space coming for Wii, and it’s not a port of the Xbox/Ps3 game? This is just…hella awesome! Dead Space: Extraction is a prequel to the original Dead Space, […]
Sunday the 15th….
So, in the weeks leading up to the release of Friday the 13th, you’ve watched all 11 of the original films, purchased the His Name is Jason documentary, and, if you have them, even read the multiple comic series about Jason (an article is coming on those, by the way!). So what do you do […]
Your Morning Head: One Lucky Geek
Nine years ago today, Suzanne and I were married. Surrounded by friends and family, we exchanged vows embarking on life’s journey together. We share a great deal. We are both hardcore readers and each have an abiding passion for quality TV, music, fine food and wine, Church, and board games. She does not; however, share […]
Mike Bullock Interview – The Phantom: The Ghost Who Walks
There have been many Phantoms before the current one – a lineage of fathers passing the torch to their sons, an oath to defend the jungles of Bangalla from piracy, cruelty, and injustice. The story of the modern Phantom, the 21st, continues in The Phantom: The Ghost Who Walks, published by Moonstone Books, starting with […]
This Empire Earth: Character Generation
After we wrapped up our sandbox brainstorming session on our race of cat people Saturday night, I led my players in the first portion of character generation. Over the last several years, I have made it a habit to lead character generation through email. It takes such a long time to make characters that its […]
Sandbox Brainstorming: The Ikati
This past weekend, me and the boys got together for our last sandbox brainstorming session prior to starting the game we’ve been working on since last fall. We’re using the Savage Worlds system for our homebrew science fiction setting, This Empire Earth. In our previous session, we considered the empire, developed a new player character […]
