Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
The Rift, also known as Endless Descent, is a 1990 film starring the venerable R. Lee Ermey (Full Metal Jacket). The story involves a submarine rescue that goes awry. It is one of many underwater-themed movies released around 1990, including The Abyss, Leviathan, DeepStar Six, The Evil Below, Hunt for Red October and Lords of the Deep. I found this going down…
March 12, 2023 This went really well. I think there were some players that were just too tired to be challenged by my plot, while others did not have the experience in the genre enough but it still went well. Met some great people, great gamers and had a lot of fun.
February 25, 2023 Ran a playtest at my house, for RonCon Spring 2023. I took two adventures in Star Frontierman #1, an old fanzine for Star Frontiers and combined them into one story. I tried to dig deep and really capture the heart of Star Frontiers while at the same time integrate my most recent…

(revised factions from SDF) Humans of the Frontier of the Zebulon Expanse are a mystery. They do not seem to have a home world but seem to have been found scattered through out the region. It is assumed by many that an ancient alien race brought them here. For much of the Frontier’s history, humans have…
Homeworlds Flaginnor System: Flagor Dralasites originate from the watery world of Flaginnor. This planet is more than 90% covered with water, with only a few landmasses dotting the surface. Most of the animal life on Flaginnor consists of amphibians and fish, with a handful of reptilian creatures. The history of Flaginnor is a peaceful one….
With me diving deeper into SF with Savage Worlds, I decided to revisit some of my ideas previously covered in the True 20 version of Star Drive Frontiers. With that, I decided to revise the timeline to fit that setting and expand on humans a little more. I hated how they screwed up Zebulon and…
Stumbled on this movie on Tubi. Saw that Claudia Black was in it (big fan!) and watched the trailer. It intrigued me. The style of the movie had a strong Alien crossed with 2001: Space Odyssey and I liked the dark tone. So I sat and watched it, not really thinking I would write about…
There are certain movies I watch for this series that are not half bad, while others are truly terrible. Parasite is more the latter than the former only because it was so poorly executed and acted. It has a decent premise but lacked imagination and production in the execution of that premise. Parasite is a 1982…
Between the independent game review site The Gaming Report, it’s subsequent owner Scrye Magazine, a short stint with DriveThru RPG and my own attempt at a review site through JustUs Productions – The Gamers Codex, I have several hundred reviews of games from 2004 until 2019. In total, I probably did over 350 reviews, a…
