    Imperial Assault as pseudo-RPG

    Aside from the two being incompatible why would you need to use the RPG to role play? If you want to get into character and role play during a board game then go ahead and do it. Role playing in a board game is no different then role playing in an RPG.

    Re-watching the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe

    Going into Avengers 2 some movie theaters across the US did this. I think they all sold out so there were plenty of people that would do this. The only problem for me is it would be it is tough to do a 30 or so hour movie marathon. That would have been something I would enjoy 20 years ago.

    Re-watching the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe

    Absolutely it is possible. It is also possible that we'll get a Squirrel Girl movie but I'm not going to hold my breath. :D

    Re-watching the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe

    You are looking at it the wrong way. Agents of Shield is altered and reacts to the movies. The movies never are altered or react to anything going on in Agents of Shield. The closest is in Avengers 2 when the hover carrier shows up. In AoS it is shown that Coulson helped with that but in the...

    Re-watching the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe

    Actually, there is a separation between the TV and Movie MCU universes. A little after Avengers 2 there was an article that suggested Whedon was not happy with Coulson coming back in the TV show and was staying dead as far as the movies are concerned. It is one of the problems with Agents of...

    Re-watching the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe

    I was never an Iron Man fan. So when they started with him I was not as excited. Also, the idea that they would do a movie for each hero and then bring it all together into the Avengers was an interesting idea but I was not expecting it to work. When comparing these to the X-men movies MCU...

    Pathfinder 1E Inner Sea Races

    I'm hoping for some cool stuff inspired by the iditarod, Chasqui Challenge, and the Tour de France.

    Cynical Kermit-Miss Piggy Divorce - end of abuse or marketing ploy?

    I think it is also parody on celebrity gossip. It says something about us that a story about two puppets ending their imaginary relationship becomes news.

    How Much Gaming Took Place At Gen Con?

    Games on Demand is not a game system. It's odd they included it like that.

    Deadpool movie announced

    In all honesty taking away Deadpool's mouth is something the people that want to control him would want to do. He never shuts up. I'm not sure how the movie is going to be. I always felt Deadpool was at his best in other people's comics.

    Great & Small: The Roleplaying Game Of Animal Fantasy

    There is a great adventure that I haven't seen you mention. It is written for Fudge and is called Another Fine Mess. The premise is that a human ranger gets himself in trouble and it is up to his animal friends to come rescue him. It has always been one of my favorite adventures and one of the...

    Imperial Assault as pseudo-RPG

    It's a board game. I guess you can add in role playing but I think it would take a little work for it to feel like it fits. The campaigns don't seem that long and are based on how the missions go. There is not much if any real customization of the character at the start. You can gain XP and have...

    D&D 5E About Rolling for Ability Scores

    I did a one shot a few weeks ago to experiment with a different system. I made attributes a zero sum game. If you wanted a strength that was 4 points over average then someone else had to have a strength that was four points below average. I did say 12 was average just to see how well it would...

    Too Many Games, Too Little Time

    The less time I have the more picky about the games I really want to run. These days there are very few that seem to really interest me.

    Diana Jones Award Announced

    I'm not a big fan of the award as it doesn't seem to have any transparency. The web site never offers much information about what it is or what it does.

    Tact-Tiles are back! Video Review

    I think this is the fifth time they have been back.

    Anyone seen ANT-MAN?

    I saw it in 3D tonight. I was surprised there were very few people in the theater. This is one of the best Marvel movies. It was clever, it was funny, and it had some great visuals.

    Which gaming system has the best mechanics and why?

    The best is Dread. Character creation is a questionnaire and the mechanics work as a Jenga tower. It is only really good for playing Dread and that's one of the best things about it. Game systems that try to be generic just do very little good and most things average. I much prefer a great...

    [The Strain, The 100] Worth Seeing?

    I never did watch either series but I did read the books. The 100 was a better book then the Strain. The Strain read like it was written for TV so it might be a better medium for it.
