Over the weekend, Paul announced the winner of the 100 Free Comics That Don’t Suck Give-A-Way. It was Bear Swarm’s Rob that won the day. He gave a nice shout out to IoM over on his podcast while at the same time speaking rather harshly of me. I suggested to Paul that perhaps, just […]
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 […]
Last week, I wrote about the upcoming intervention the hosts of Fear the Boot have planned for Dan Repperger. Dan, you see, just can’t wrap his head around any number of character concepts or campaign settings. His fellow hosts are planning on helping him out of his funk by getting him excited about a genre […]
Of late, I have listened to Fear the Boot with an awfully critical ear – despite my abiding affection for the hosts. I’ve settled into a habit of enumerating all the many ways Chad and Dan are wrong, suffering from narrow perspectives and absence of vision as they are. In fact, I wrote about some […]
After listening to Fear the Boot’s recent episode on playing animal characters, I wrote yesterday about playing something approaching a true animal (i.e. no thumbs, no pants). Today, I want to pick up on the other part of FtB’s episode. Role playing more human-like animal characters. Y’know, furries. Anthropomorphs The hosts of Fear the Boot […]
The great thing about Fear the Boot is that I often disagree with them, which gives me stuff to write about here. And when I say ‘often,’ I mean ‘all-the-time.’ So no shortage of content here at IoM. In last week’s curiously well-timed episode that dropped Friday instead of its usual Wednesday and that […]
Just in time for the season, IoM’s very own Aron (me) does a turn on the Back Seat Producers sharing his thouhts on Martin Scorsese’s Last Temptation of Christ. The film, based on the Nikos Kazantzakis’ book of the same name, was violently controversial in its day. Check out BSP for an in-depth review of […]
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 […]
On tonight’s live episode of the Podge Cast, the hosts will be battling over which movie in our vast history of cinema is the best movie sequel of all time. I can think of a lot of really good sequels. Empire Strikes Back, for instance, is a superior film to A New Hope. For me […]
