Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
Harbinger Down (2015) I am a sucker for a movie inspired by Alien or The Thing. Show a sci-fi monster movie and I am there. I ran across this movie while browsing Netflix, not know anything about it. The blurb interested me so I started it. I found out later that this film was Kickstarted by a team…
Type: Splinterland Discontinuity: 2 Assimilation Effect Value: 40 Mercurial is a minor splinterland of desolate beauty. Upon first glance, it is an endless world of metallic mountains, hills, pools and oceans. The beauty is mesmerizing to some. However, it is as beautiful as it is deadly. Some believe that this world was once a full…
I write about MACE in multiple places but this is where I write about me and my feelings – a place to vent. Most people don’t want to read about how the sausage is made. They just want it cooked and served up. In the case of MACE, give the players “What, Where and When”…
The podcast I was on – Epic Gaming Night – was supposed to be about MACE and gaming but it turned into a long discussion (debate) about how I did not like the new Battlestar Galactica. Honestly, I watched every episode in full hopes it would get better and it did not. EVER. In fact,…

Ran Legendary Planet: The Assimilation Strain as a playtest for MACE 2015. A lot more deadlier than I thought, initially. Had my 2nd level characters (3 of them) pretty beat up by half way through. Second Session with really well. I added a few things, including some Ghouls that the clerics at one time were…
So the third and final trailer has come out for Episode 7 and I feel like I need to comment. I am going to comment on two subjects. First and foremost is my general feeling about the new movies as a once diehard fan burned by the crap that was Episode 1-3. Secondly, a more…
Hardcore science fiction is very hard to pull off from a role playing game perspective because realism tends to bore the average player. Yea, I know, there are those that prefer it and I can respect that. However, in my experience, the average player does not want to go through the mind numbing realization that…
Sci-fi is my thing, I make no bones about it. I love a good story of group of people exploring the unknown, finding alien monsters, and learning that the universe is much bigger than they thought. Browsing Netflix, I found yet another unexpected gem of a movie – Dark Space. It is a low budget…
