Started: December, 2017 Phase One – the Build This is a very abstract idea I came up with based on several influences. Combining the Bermuda Triangle mythology, with an alien Moon base, and the general multiverse trope from just about any comic book or sci-fi show these days, I came up with a massive “thing”…
The massive conglomeration of ships, planes and other vessels, surrounding the alien space ship that once resided on the dark side of the Moon makes up what is known as Croatoan Island. Here, survivors of these vessels have persevered in a strange and dark dimension. All humans, they have come from various Earthly multi-dimensions and…
At one time, I was really obsessed with abandoned asylums and most especially with Danvers State Hospital. Being the core inspiration for Arkham, I could not imagine why there was not some kind of source/adventure book about it. I really wanted to pool together whatever sources I could to put together such a book but unfortunately,…
I have resurrected my interest in Niven-Known Space setting, starting with the Ringworld setting. I am going to re-read the Ringworld books and use the resources I have at hand to come up with a trilogy of adventures for conventions. The real question is can Savage Worlds capture the essence of Niven’s vision. I see Known Space…
My Savage Blood & Suns game at MACE 2017. Ice Station Schatzgräber. The crafts included the ruined New York City block (New York was nuked in 1942 in this timeline), the initiative Savage Skulls in use, and the pièce de résistance – the Ice Station V2 Launch Bay where the final battle occurred. A two table…
Some crafts I used in my Shatterzone RPG at MACE 2017 – billowing fires (explosions), and body markers. Inspired by many crafts from here. This game went well but took too long. I decided to do a random encounter en-route from Point A to point B and while fun, it took too long. I did…
Fri 8 pm – 12 am: Shatterzone Xenos Alpha I play tested this at RonCon. I am not sure how well this is going to go. I never ran SZ at a Con because of its complexities. I am going to try my best to nail those down and avoid book diving, but it may be…
This is an award winning UK sci-fi space short film made Backyard Productions UK as part of the “Darkwave universe.” Set in a world where rare crystals – called Starlight Crystals – make FTL flight possible, it shows that even with a low budget and actors working for free, you can still tell a damn good story. I write about this because I really feel that this Darkwave setting REALLY needs to be written up as an RPG setting. Someone really needs to approach these guys with the idea.
Blood Creek, previously known as Creek and Town Creek, is a horror film directed by the famous (and infamous) Joel Schumacher, starring Michael Fassbender, Dominic Purcell, and Henry Cavill. Where else are you going to get Magneto, Heat Wave and Superman in one movie. Written by David Kajganich, the film apparently had a limited theatrical release in 2009. I came across it in my streaming options, and it was highly recommended by a friends. Dominic Purcell and Henry Cavill play brothers on a mission of revenge who become trapped in a harrowing occult experiment dating back to the Third Reich. Yes, Nazis, Occult and Zombies in the same movie. I am all in!
Also known as Ragewar: The Challenges Of Excalibrate, I found this movie in an old article about old awful 80s fantasy films. And this one was pretty awful. although it had great potential. The article included several movies I had already reviewed so I decided to give this one a chance. My research found that…
