I am planning a new campaign for our Friday night group, using the Titans Grave setting and the Fantasy Age system. It is a solid enough system and a fascinating enough setting that I think I can have fun with it. I need to read more to get inspiration but I think I am going…
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…

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…
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…
