B-Movie Inspirations: Castle of Evil (1966)
I have been really focused 1960s lately and I think because there was pretty decent writing back then, even though the budgets and effects could not be as good. Castle of Evil, although very tropey, it was well written and at least I felt a cool idea for an adventure one shot. Castle of Evil…
B-Movie Inspirations: Dimension 5 (1966)
A rare opportunity to see Jeffrey Hunter outside of his usual cowboy roles, this movie interested me for it’s sci-fi and espionage aspects. Watching the trailer, it has be at “.. action, adventure and electronic espionage!” At first you are introduced to Justin Power (played by Jeffrey Hunter of Star Trek The Cage) in a…
B-Movie Inspirations: Cyborg 2087 (1966)
One part Terminator and one part Terminator 2, this movie has a simple story with some very subtle and inspiring plot aspects that I found interesting enough to write about. In 2087, a mysterious group of people using time travel technology they apparently broke into, sends what we later learn is a cyborg – Garth…
Otharian Star Cluster
At one time, the Otharian Star Cluster represented the furthest achievement of the Terran Expanse Unions exploration and colonization. It marked the farthest point in the galaxy humanity had reached. But this achievement was no different than many of other human accomplishments. Like many in the past, it was marked with violence, tragedy and greed….
Battle for Oz: The Skyraiders of Oogaboo (Mythic Con 2024)
November 10, 2024 I had built two Airship props and had no game to use it in. Actually I did use one in Titans Grave before it got rebuilt but I really wanted to use them both in one adventure. Along comes Battle For Oz! I decided last minute – like a month out –…
Savage 80s: V-The Rescue (Mythic 2024)
November 9, 2024 This is always very popular and I get a lot of attention for this. I revamped the characters for this and made them a lot more fun to play. They had some terrible rolls that night but it produced great story. Bionic Woman Jamie Summers nearly died and I think there was…
Voyage of the Doomed (Mythic Con 2024)
System: Savage Worlds Date: November 8, 2024 The second time I ran this at a con, and it was a little tough. It’s a very difficult game to run and if the players are not prepared, they won’t have a good time. I lost a player this time because they were too tired. It breaks…
Book: Empire from the Ashes Book 2 – Armageddon Inheritance
After starting this trilogy in 2022, I finally finished the second book this summer and made a considerable dent into the third book. However, the second book is going to be hard to beat. This was incredible. There was a lot going on in this book. Weber takes on the international implications head on and…
Book: V – The Crivit Experiment
I have said it before – I was obsessed with V: The Mini-series. The Series that followed had it’s moments but overall it was a disappointment. The book series that came out at that time showed that there was a lot of potential for story in this universe and I tried my best to read…
