    Overrated/Underrated Geek Media

    I tend to agree, to a point. I really enjoyed Cowboy Bebop, which I think is head and shoulders above a lot of anime I've seen, but I don't rate it as being any better than Magnum P.I.(the original). That isn't to say there aren't some really, really good anime movies or shows, Princess...

    Overrated/Underrated Geek Media

    That's kind of the case with a books and movies as well. By the time I saw The Godfather, I was about thirty and the movie had been around a few years longer than me, so I had seen a whole slew of movies that it influenced as well as watching countless parodies. Even though I had never seen...

    Let's Talk About Short Campaigns

    That is the norm for me when I run a campaign. For the better part of a decade, we play every week and our typical campaign runs between 4-6 months. I think one of the longest campaigns we've ever had was about nine months. We rotate games frequently, sometimes we rotate GMs, but I'm the...

    "Promising hints of life on distant planet"

    I didn't have Crabraham Lincoln on my bingo card today.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Every miniature has an ugly phase. A point you get to where the model doesn't quite look like what you want it to look like and you're not sure you'll get there. 80% of the model gets done very quickly, and when you want to make it look your best that remaining 20% can take a long time to...

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    I just made a decent purchase, $160, for miniatures from a company called Archon in Poland. While it probably won't be my last purchase of the year, I don't have plans to purchase anything new for the next few months. And you're right, it's not just the price of games that are going up it's...

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    In the 1990s, everyone in Texas had to take a semester course in economics to graduate from high school. Knowing that the costs of a tariff is ultimately paid for by the consumer is such basic knowledge that it boggles the mind that anyone could argue or think otherwise.

    What Show Should Have Only Had One Season?

    That's fair. Just because a show had a best first season doesn't mean it should have only had one season. The Walking Dead deserved and got more than one good season, so it doesn't belong on this list.

    "Promising hints of life on distant planet"

    I remember in one of my undergraduate philosophy courses my instructor putting forth the idea that space exploration was a moral imperative because one day the sun will burn out, and without someplace else to hang our hat we'll go extinct. Of course the sun will render the Earth uninhabitable...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Goblin Hobbies is a company run by Brent & Casey who are best known as YouTubers posting tutorials and other things having to do with the miniature painting hobby. They sell a new product which is essentially just a nail stamping kit for use with miniature painting. Do you know what nail...

    What Show Should Have Only Had One Season?

    Dexter. The first season was fantastic. There were other good seasons, and bad seasons, but nothing topped the first season. The Walking Dead. Not only does this show have one of the strongest pilot episodes ever produced, but I was riveted during season one. Every. Single. Episode...

    What Do YOU Want The Future of TTRPGs To Look Like?

    You can say GURPS, nobody will get upset: I would like to see gaming continue to be an activity we predominantly engage one another face-to-face. It’s the best way to socialize while playing a very social game.

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    That's not really the point as @Clint_L isn't blaming Troll Lord Games for the current situation. I'm going to limit this to strictly tariffs, but if Canada, a country whose interest has aligned with ours economically and culturally for many decades, suddenly decided to start a trade war with...

    RPG Archive: Star*Drive for D&D and Traveller

    I remember seeing these products at my local game store in the late 90s but I don't remember even I even glanced within their pages. At the time, I thought Alternity, Star Drive, and Dark Matter were completely separate games rather than part of the same product line. I have heard from some...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    More progress on the Phoenix wings. I decided I need to add some other colors besides reds, yellow, and orange, so I put a little green up there on the smaller feathers. For the wing on the right, I went ahead and colored those little smoke/flame tendrils. I wish they hadn't sculpted these...
