Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
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…

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…
I am throwing around the idea of a possible campaign idea for 2016 Friday night gaming. I have 3 to choose from. Here they are as well as the pros and cons for each. Fantasy Age System: Titansgrave I have been watching the Youtube channel off and on and really like the setting. The rules…

The Push The motive they have to escape their current situation The Pull The reward they expect for achieving the goal The Gimmick The adventure’s particular, uh, gimmick The Enigma (optional) Motivation or story behind…
I am developing a one shot adventure for MACE East 2016 for The Last Parsec. It does not have to be Savage Worlds or The Last Parsec but that’s what is pulling in players. This adventure was first inspired by recent terrain work I have done. I wanted something where I can use the following…
