To the delight of gamers everywhere, Pinnacle Entertainment Group has announced it will be releasing a plot point book for Space 1889 utilizing their award winning Savage Worlds system. I learned of this development in today’s special episode of The Game’s The Thing in which Pinnacle’s Clint Black announced the project along with a few […]
I’ve made enough comparisons at this point to Fallout 3 that I suppose I should actually write a review on it. I’ll just give you my stance on it right now: It is easily the best game I have played so far on the Xbox 360. Granted, I haven’t played much on my 360 so […]
You know, since I Watch Stuff broke the trailer for Cat Shit One earlier this week, it’s been all the rage on the internet. Even Ain’t It Cool had a story about it today, and, by the way, whoever noonespecial is (besides, well “no one special”), you’re awesome! This guy went into the talkback of […]
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. […]
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.

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 […]
It’s here! It’s here! My copy of The Burning Wheel’s Magic Burner is here! The Mail-Man brought it in the mail today. You may recall that Magic Burner is the book I was unable to purchase due to unavailability at this month’s Fear the Con 2. So I ordered the thing. Now it’s here and […]
I can’t believe I haven’t posted this any earlier! The tradition of any hunter is to display the trophies of the kill, evidence of victory in the wilds. The same is true of the con-goer. Half the fun is bragging about the haul. Last year when I went to Fear the Con, I was on […]
The very last game I was supposed to be in was a session of Dread: The Last Hurrah. I’d been looking forward to Dread since the moment I had registered for it on the Warhorn site many weeks ago. The problem was that it was in the last slot of the last day of the […]
