A minor character from a obscure 1970s science fiction movie nobody remembers. There's always something a little frightening about painting a figure everyone is so familiar with. What's the exact color of a beholder, a red dragon, or an aboleth? Maybe it's why I shy away from historical...

While I remember seeing Rolemaster products for sale in the late 80s and early 1990s, I don't know if I've run into anyone who has actually played it!

I do like that as the years progressed Star Trek didn't just treat every member of a species as being exactly the same.

Variety is the spice of life and that applies to miniature painting as well. i.e. It's nice to do something a little different now and then. I don't normally paint terrain, but that's exactly what this escape pod is. In Star Wars Legion, you can use this terrain as part of some specific...

Are you kidding? We call those kinds of people bandits, Vikings, raiders, conquistadores, or some other word. If there's gold to be made by breaking into places, killing the inhabitants, and stealing their stuff you will absolutely find people who will try doing that for a living.

I've thought about doing that with Savage Worlds. It's not going to play the same though, which is just something I'll have to accept.

I'm sure as heck not arguing anyone should be shuffled aside as second fiddles. I don't know how to make myself any clearer, so I'll just drop it.

I feel the same way to the point where I really don't care what species the players choose for their characters. I don't even bother with lighting most of the time because either the PC has darkvision or someone has the Light cantrip. Why would we expect completely alien non-humans to be the...

Warhammer 40k wasn't originally intended to be taken seriously with the over-the-top setting serving simply as a framework to justify why your little metal miniatures were trying to murder my little metal miniatures. The Eldar view humanity like we might a toddler armed with a .357 Magnum who...

I don't know why they complain about that though. We're telling human stories for regular humans. People like my regular human bartender friend Jackie Daytona. Star Trek does this of course and it's not because the writers can't come up with alien aliens, it's because they're telling human...

This is a work in progress: An escape pod from Star Wars: Legion. It's kind of amazing how some Star Wars models are just so darned basic. If you look up the model used in the original SW movie, you'll see that it's pretty much just the same color. But I decided to mix it up a bit and add...

I think my biggest problem is the cyberpunk game I want to run is set in Night City and I really want it to be Cyberpunk 2020. I feel as though I'm pining for something that simply cannot be. i.e. I think I'm my own problem.

The Voyage Home was one of the few Trek movies that even people who weren't fans seemed to have enjoyed. Even my mom liked it. It's just such a fun movie, like how "The Trouble with Tribbles" is just a fun episode.

Despite growing up a huge Trek fan, I really haven't kept up for a while, so I can't include everything in my ranking. I've never seen Picard or Discovery for example. #1. TOS: I can't help but weigh heavily the original that ultimately made everything else possible. #2. TOS movies...

I think of this as the original crew's final farewell rather than the lackluster Generations.

I'm starting to think Nintendo Power might not have been impartial in its review of Super Mario Bros. 2.

We started late January or early February. I've added my own adventures plus a few classic modules including The Secret of Bone Hill and White Plume Mountain, and at this point we're close to the 50% mark on Age of Worms. We'll probably wrap up late September or early October.
