B-Movie Inspirations: The Colony (2013)
Browsing NetFlix again, I found a new sleeper sci-fi/post-apocalypse movie called The Colony. Starring some of my favorites like Bill Paxton and Laurence Fishburne, this movie had a great look, a great background but a fairly predictable and straightforward plot. It has some good concepts and execution wasn’t bad but for such an epic setting, it was a tad disappointing in story. But there is some inspiration in it.

Ships of Clement Sector 2 – Vulkan-class Attack Boat Tender
Ships of Clement Sector 2: Vulkan-class Attack Boat Tender is a new RPG Supplement from Gypsy Knights Games. I have reviewed a lot of the Clement Sector line. I think it is clear I find the setting subtly inspiring and creative. If you like gritty realistic campaign settings, this is the setting you are looking for. It is versatile but also grounded.
New Campaign: Titans Grave setting

Repurposed Alien Queen Clix base
Alien Queen Base to Ancient Ruins with Pool I bought two Horror Clix Alien Queens some time ago, pretty cheap. I removed one of the queens from the base and rebased it. The other is still original. After tearing out the queen and her sack, I still had the ruins section that was too cool…
Seawolf’s Dice/RonCon Dice are born
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…
