I used to run a lot of Living Greyhawk games in the early 2000s. Being in Arkansas, our region of Greyhawk was the Yeomanry, so our adventures focused on that area. If you visited other areas of the United States and sat down at a LG game, you'd be playing in another region of Greyhawk in...

It seemed pretty clear to me that companions at least rubbed shoulders (and I'm not making the obvious joke here) with the upper crust. Plus Inara's mannerisms, clothing, and dialogued marked her as being higher class than Mal and the rest of the crew. This was in sharp contrast to the...

That's pretty much true of entertainment across the board. How many publishers here in the United States didn't think Harry Potter would sell to American children? Why does Disney think anyone wants more Tron movies? Why did Nightlife fade into obscurity while Vampire the Masquerade hit it...

The G in RPG stands for game. So I'm going to go with the functional constraints and mechanisms of gameplay as taking precedence to story. That's just a platonic ideal though. In the real world we get wildly successful games like Vampire (1991) where story very much took precedence over...

I'm adding The Good Place to my list of shows with a good ending. It was sad which I thought very fitting for a show about what happens to people when they die. Sort of. The show was really about how we should live our lives.

Here in the United States, it's a colloquial expression that simply means, "Don't do anything that might cause problems in the place you depend on to earn a living."

The first Mortal Kombat (1995) movie was surprisingly entertaining. Eh, but I can't look you in the eye and say it's good. I'm looking at a list of movie adaptations on Wikipedia and nothing looks good. Keeping in mind I haven't seen Detective Pikachu or the new Mario movie.

I've sometimes wondered whether it's better to experience a sudden death or be forewarned. I'm morbid that way I guess. The advantage of being forewarned is you get an opportunity to say your goodbyes, make plans, and come to terms with what's going to happen. It gives you some time to...

They should have used the theme for a television series....

It's like throwing in a "The Trouble with Tribbles" in the original series. Great episode, but maybe not great all the time. I am hoping we don't see another rehash of the original crew. Between the Kelvin movies and Strange New Worlds, I'm a little tapped out on new people playing the holy...

That's otterly adorable! A painted miniature is always welcome at the table as they look better than an unpainted one. You did a pretty good job with the eyes especially.

That's how it goes. While the grey tide has gotten smaller, I'll never finish it all.

I thought it was a unicorn horse/man thing when I bought it.

It does look great and the best part is it was an accident. I put down a base color of Vallejo Chocolate Brown. Then mixed Vallejo Jappanese Uniform and Flat Earth at 50/50 and dry brushed it on. My intention was to add more highlights and maybe a wash, but I liked the way it looked so much I...

I don’t have a great history with WizKids and it's mostly because I don't like their sculpts. Some of their monsters are pretty good, I've posted some dragons and beholders they produced here in this thread, but their rank & file PC miniatures and a lot of their NPCs and monsters are simply not...

I hate, hate, hate reviews of scenarios made by those who haven't actually run through them as either a GM or a player. What comes to immediate mind are scenarios with a lot of background information the GM gets to read about but there's no suggestions for how the PCs are expected to learn it...

It tasks me. The story tasks me and I shall listen. Though I chase it ‘round the Antares Maelstrom and ‘round Perdition’s fame before I give it up!

Finished my elephant man. This is the first mini I’ve ever painted whose flesh looks better in the photo than it does with the naked eye.
