B.A. is my favorite because he was played by Mr. T. As a child of the 80s, I can't help but love Mr. T.

It didn't hurt that The Motion Picture was about 25% Enterprise porn with the camera lovingly caressing it for an inordinate amount of time. That's probably what did it for a lot of us right there. I'm with the refit being the best looking ship as well. One of the reasons I like it is it...

I was nine when New Coke came out and after nearly 40 years I can't remember what it tasted like. Look, we're not all Europeans. Those of us rockin' in the free world demand ice!

In the Before Times, pre-COVID, I ran a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game using Savage Worlds. Set in the near future, mutant animals were much more common, but they were treated as property for the most part and were fighting for their rights. The central conflict of the game was the rights...

The Boris Vallejo poster is the best thing about the movie. Okay, the second best thing if you count the nudity. I don't judge people for what they like. Mainly because that would require self-introspection on my part and I would be forced to admit I like a lot of really, really stupid stuff...

I like nudity and violence as much as the next person, but aside from those two things, I can't think of anything else Deathstalker offers. The movie was devoid of compelling characters, a compelling story, compelling dialogue, and the stunt work wasn't particularly memorable either. A...

I want to roleplay something different from my normal experience. That's why I like to play average Joes.

The neat thing about those BTech minis is you're painting in a different scale. Was works for 28-32mm just doesn't work exactly the same for 10-12mm (or whatever scale BT is supposed to be). It's hard to be both subtle and visible with effects at that scale.

I just listened to Everyday People about two weeks ago for the first time in years. I always loved that song.

Pepsi is a bit sweeter.

I typically call it a Coke but sometimes I'll say soda, pop, or soda pop. When I say soda pop people around here tell me, "You ain't from around here. Are you, boy?"

It's great to hear from someone who was there. You're like a living artifact? Did you actually have any qualifications to be an editorial assistant when you were hired? I ask because I was quite impressed with what sounded to me like people just jumping in and essentially training themselves...

I'm going to define exceptional as being atypical, or outside the norm, so in that sense the PCs in most every game are exceptional people. Even in a game like Call of Cthulhu, where all the investigators are "regular people," just being willing to investigate and combat supernatural, sanity...

Working on a dragon from Archon Studios and this is the base. I’m trying to improve the quality of my miniatures bases. I started with a dark grey and applied a few washes of brown and some green. Once dry, I used a sponge to apply a light grey over everything. I used Dirty Down Moss effect...

That was something I noticed in the podcast. From it's earliest days, TSR effectively told their employees to go pound sand when it came to pay. "You want to work full time in gaming? You have no other options besides us. It's our way or the highway."

I tend to run short, to the point campaigns. Think Babylon 5 where there's an overarching story with some adventurous interludes that have nothing to do with the main plot.

Maybe X-Files style? Where I start off with a strong premise and the promise of unraveling a mystery only for everyone to realize a few sessions in that I don't know where the story is headed. Deadlands: Spaghetti Westerns. Star Wars: Old serials like Flash Gordon or Radar Men from the...

The only D&D novels I read were a few of the Ravenloft ones, but, man, I sure remember seeing those novels at B. Dalton, Waldenbooks, Kroger, and later Barnes & Noble when they arrived in my neck of the woods.

I'm not really complaining there seems to be fewer books published for particular game lines as I am just noticing it. AD&D 2nd edition had somewhere north of 300 books/boxed sets published for it over the years including settings, books on classes, races, time periods, monstrous compendiums...
