    White Dwarf Reflections #26

    I recall some using the ones that shot bb-sized rubber balls and some that shot plastic balls? Also dart guns were favored by a few. Personally those weren't my thing because they did one shot and you had to reload where as the bb-sized rubber ball and disc guns could shoot multiple!

    White Dwarf Reflections #26

    Covers 12, 16 and 19 are three of my favorites. Also, Killer was pretty popular at my high school as well and I played it until joining the military and heading to Europe for a decade. Disc guns, water balloons and other creative means were common at my high school in southern California.

    My wife recently sent me this meme and said, "Do you feel seen?"

    Celebrating 50 Years of Chaosium!

    I recently re-read seven of the books in the series. They're now out in e-format these days or most of them are. I found them still, entertaining, they are much darker fare compared to many science fiction books out there for sure. I need to snag the next three and read them as well. Been...

    Celebrating 50 Years of Chaosium!

    My absolute over all favorite setting to run. I snagged it when it came out and ran it from 1981 until 2000 pretty much. First with RQ based mechanics and when I ran into repeated issues where players who were used to D&D and wouldn't embrace a skill based system with no classes, I swapped to...

    John Kovalic Looks Back On Over Two Decades Of Munchkin

    Right, they're waiting to put it up once all the backers get theirs. There were many complaints raised on Backerkit when the Big Boxes started appearing in the wild before the backers got them. So SJG pulled store front boxes for the time being, or in the case of Amazon stopped shipping more to...

    Worlds of Design: In the Shadow of Tolkien

    The Hobbit was read to us in a class back in 1970, setting my interest in fantasy and science fiction and opening worlds of wonder from then on. My step mother took me to a game shop back in 1978 and that was all she wrote... gaming was a part of my life from that time on.

    John Kovalic Looks Back On Over Two Decades Of Munchkin

    Love the style of art John Kovalic does, simply awesome. I hope he continues to draw the cards for years to come. Part of the fun of Munchkin is definitely due to John Kovalic's art style. Kinda off topic but since it was mentioned in the article... I'm always confused when folks mention not...

    John Kovalic Looks Back On Over Two Decades Of Munchkin

    I also went all in on it and wasn't truly happy with the actual box this time around. It felt flimsy and thin to my wife and I in comparison to past boxes for their games. This big box was after all meant to be a holder of cards and reused, so to find the walls so thin didn't sit well with us...

    Farewell To Arms Wages World War Borg

    Hmm, that's too bad. If I can't get the pdf as well, even if I have to pay for it I tend to nope out. I like to read pdfs on tablet and use the books at the table. Plus having the pdfs makes printing up maps and sections needed at the table much much easier than scanning into pdf and printing as...

    Anyone know if the pdf is included with the Collectors set?

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    That, I get and embrace, always have. What I don't get is how the other poster worded some of what they said, which felt attacking( in a badwrongfun sort of way) in tone. (Shrug) Shortcomings of conversations of a text medium, things get missed.
