Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
I will be ordering from Chessex six-sided dice with this as the six. This is less about narcissism or anything like that and more about just fun. I have a certain level of pride to the history of gaming I have had, although not many are around to experience 100% of it all. This is…
One of my pet peeves with sci-fi books, movies and particularly RPGs, is the treatment of stellar distances. I respect a show or movie that treats it properly or at least show it a little respect. It drives me crazy when a writer or director chooses to totally ignore them. Case in point, Star Wars, especially…
Here I sit on New Years Eve night and I am dealing with another friend’s death. Chris Jarrett was part of that core group of games that I ran games with for 20+ years. He played a tone of characters from Shatterzone, Star Wars, and more. He didn’t play in the Star Frontiers years but…
Sometimes you run across a movie on NetFlix and you wonder if it could have been a show pilot. I found one of these gems and it was called Parallels. It sounded like a remake of Sliders with a little The Lost Room thrown in. It is a movie that approaches a subject in sci-fi that is…
I came across another movie while browsing my streaming options that intrigued me by the movie poster and the name. Not knowing anything about it other than it was sci-fi, I decided to give it a try. Sometimes I will start a movie like this and stop it after the first 5 minutes while other…
I am reading a mini- adventure that was published with the 6th Edition Keeper Screen, The Restoration of Evil. It takes place in Red Hook NY, as sort of a sequel to one of Lovecraft’s stories – The Horror at Red Hook – but it just doesn’t cut it for me. Sometimes I just wonder how some of…
I have said before that I am struggling with my Star Wars fandom after seeing SW7. There was so much to like but there were flaws, some of which I just could not put my finger on. Well, finally someone has. Max Landis, in his own uncensored (language warning) and spoiler filled way, speaks to…
NO SPOILERS TO FOLLOW I just got back from seeing the movie of the year; the movie that all geekdom was anticipating – Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And I am torn. I was very cynical going in and I came out very conflicted. To fully understand where I am at now, perhaps I should look…
Star Trek is something I got into late in life. I could never find a TV channel that consistently showed it and as a kid, I just didn’t quite get it. Back then, my fandom was just developing. I was heavily into monsters like Godzilla, Gamera and the Universal Monsters. I enjoyed watching Hammer films,…
So I am trying to get caught up on the latest Dr. Who season, despite my dislike with the sonic-shades wearing, guitar playing 12th Doctor. I am still waiting for him to get better and on occasion he is. Unfortunately, when he shines, the writing fails miserably. At one time, new Doctor Who was one…
