That is something of a bone of contention among many people. I've only participated in Kickstarters run by established companies like CMON, PEG Inc., and Free League, and I tend to view it as a pre-ordering system. But I think the fine print on most Kickstarters say something about it being a...

I remember having a few Call of Cthulhu miniatures produced by RAFM more than 30 years ago and I may have had a few of their fantasy figures as well. It's been so long, but I associate RAFM with old school miniatures from the 1980s along with Ral Partha. As I can best recall, I favored Ral...

Dwight Cenac seems to think too many people in the board game industry don't know what they're talking about. I read the article, and he seems oddly optimistic compared to most everyone else. He sure doesn't like Final Frontier Games. The Board Game Industry is Burning - And It's Their Own...

That's exactly the effect I was going for! Thanks a bunch.

Your assessment is how I remember it. I don't think I even made it to season 5, as I bailed when I realized they had no idea where they were going with their metaplot. I turned to an episode in later seasons only to be greeted by two characters who weren't Mulder & Scully wondering to myself...

I assume he was drafted or enlisted in the army as is going to war. Heck, maybe the Phoenix is the general?

I played in a D&D campaign, Eberron, where the DM just said, "Money isn't a factor. Just assume whatever normal goods, services, or equipment you're purchasing for yourself is within your means. It went just fine. We didn't bother keeping track of coins or other treasures beyond some magic...

And another project finished. The long and short of it is this Dungeons & Lasers Phoenix miniature is worth the $35 purchase price. The sculpt is pretty good though I do have some criticisms some practical and others aesthetic preference. When it comes to aesthetics, I strongly dislike the...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...
