Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
My Other stuff on TV
I am re-watching ST:TNG with my kids and through out, I am watching for things I missed, plot elements that could have been used later (one of the biggest complaints I heard while watching it) and inspiration for RPG games. When I watched it in the past, the show inspired many of my game sessions…
While I attempted the Star Trek Adventures game as best I could, I really never get into it. It needed more. But that doesn’t keep me from trying to find story ideas for a good Star Trek RPG adventure. I know there is a Star Trek conversion to Savage Worlds and I may explore that…
B-Movie Inspirations is a series of articles I write where I watch really bad movies and draw RPG inspiration from them. I was browsing social media when I ran across a picture posted to a group dedicated to the old sci-fi media magazine Starlog. It was a creature from some old movie that resembled a bulbous…
Uggh! I almost don’t want to write this but I am cathartically forcing myself to because it needs to happen. Star Wars was a huge part of my life for 20 years or so. I built it up in my own mind, played out storylines in various games I played, and dreamed up many more…
This took me a while to read. Two summers and then a couple of other vacations. I stopped watching Season 3 of the show because it was giving away from things that I had not read. I finished both in one day while home sick from work. Book 2 ended with a corporate conspiracy of…
Rewatching Star Trek, The Original Series on Netflix. Just watched the episode Wolf in the Fold, one of my favorite episodes. I still see that as a missed opportunity for a really good two parter. I know budget limitations prevented it but when the Red Jack entity took over the ship and attempted to feed…
The Highlander movie and the subsequent TV series (there were no movie sequels, their can be only one) all had a profound effect on my life. It was my first real exposure to the urban fantasy genre and it really inspired me. Later, of course, things like vampires, demons and wizards became all the rage but…
This is primarily aimed to discuss the complaints about Discovery and how dark and gritty it is. There are some that believe that it’s not ST because it is too dark and gritty. While I have my own issues with DISCO, the darkness and grittiness is one reason I liked it. But I would argue…
I am as torn as I was when I started. Which I suppose is a credit to the writers and creators of the show. They changed enough to tweek the hardcore Trekkie side of me, while at the same time, presented some pretty good story and action. It wasn’t entirely Star Trek but it was just…
Where do you go after destroying Eros and infesting Venus with an alien protomolecule? Kidnapping children and alien-protomolecule hybrids, that’s where! I had already watched the second season of the show while I was reading this but finished it before 3 season was released. This was a great book and brings it all to a…
