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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

This is a good sized miniature, about 6 inches tall with a 10 inch wingspan. I'll post some more photos later, but the main parts of the miniature are easy enough to assemble. It's just some fiddly little bits that are difficult because it's not clear where they're supposed to attach to on the...

So this is the Phoenix from Dungeons & Lasers. Well, these are the wings at least. I’m still working on it. So two things. I've been using an airbrush since 2020, but I still feel as though I'm learning. They say your airbrush paint should be the consistency of skim milk, but apparently I...

I continue to listen to the podcast and it occurred to me that we're missing Kevin Siembieda's flare for dramatics. Imagine if the dude who came up with the "Crisis of Treachery" could have named what was going on at TSR in 1984-1985. That would have been pure gold. I keep saying this in...

Fun fact: Most Amish communities only allow their members to play the original 1974 Dungeons & Dragons.

Given how uncertain the future is, I don't know if anyone would be interested in moving within the next few years. We don't know what the situation is going to be in two weeks let alone in 2029.

Ah, I see. "The code is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules." -- Hector Barbossa (17th century lawyer) I personally find it rather confusing. Is a goblin a humanoid or a fey? It depends on what day of the week it is and whether the goblin was born when the moon was waxing or...

I'm working on a similar scenario for Death in Space. I fully admit to being inspired by Pandorum.
