Strange Dream: Attack of the black rain
I had a strange dream last night that I want to write down because it was an interesting mishmash of ideas. Sometimes my dreams make no sense, while other times I don’t even remember them. This one was rather vivid and had elements that were at least worth writing down. It started as a typical…
Surviving Cancellation Part 2: The Return – MACE 2021
MACE 2021 has come and gone. All the build up and anxiety built up and died down. My true friends showed up and those that I want nothing to do with faded away. Grumblings did pop up here and there, but overall it seemed to fade away as expected. I found that my anxiety as…
Surviving Cancellation
2020 has been a disaster on all levels. COVID 19, racial unrest and protests, the election – just ugly. My life is no different. Between sporadic health issues (not COVID related) and the events behind this post, my life is probably changed forever. While my experience is not unique nor earth-shattering, it is an experience…
Corona-cation 2020 Week 2-3
Happy Meal/Skylander Giants Toys My friend Dave O’Gara from Youtube’s miniature mash-up did a good video on some Happy Meal toy crafts. This inspired me because I have had a box of Happy Meal toys my son gave me a long time ago. They were from the Skylander Giants promotional run with McDonalds and some…
Corona-cation 2020 Week 1
Being cooped up in the house because of a global pandemic has opened opportunity for movies and crafting as well as writing. Along with binging Star Trek: The Next Generation, I have been picking random movies to watch – recent and old ones. So I thought might as well blog while I am doing them….
Consent in Gaming? Really? Part 2
I have had time to reflect and look at the larger picture. I have read through some of the most angry and intensely upset posts in a conservative gamer group. I have also read some posts in a more favorable pro-social anxiety group that I am in (since I suffer from it, to a degree)….
Consent in Gaming? Really? Part 1
Holy SJW-Crap! It has started in gaming! I saw it happen in sci-fi fandom. It killed my fandom. I hoped to God that it would not happen in gaming. Even if it did, I hoped that it would stay away from RPGs. But it has and the first place it goes in RPGs. My hobby…
Movie & TV Bias these days!
I got to thinking this morning about movies/TV shows and how the bias has gotten so bad about liberal bias. Namely, at least for me, the CW Arrowverse that I so invested myself in. It’s not that the bias wasn’t there there back in the day. I started thinking about Robocop this morning, because it…
RIP Chris Jarrett – I am tired of losing friends
Here I sit on New Years Eve night and I am dealing with another friend’s death. Chris Jarrett was part of that core group of games that I ran games with for 20+ years. He played a tone of characters from Shatterzone, Star Wars, and more. He didn’t play in the Star Frontiers years but…
