Dexter's code was created by his father to protect Dexter from incarceration and to protect normal people from Dexter. Dexter is generally compelled to kill others simply to satiate his bloodlust rather than a desire to protect others. We see a few examples where he targets a person to protect...

I don't think I've ever played a D&D game where this was true. Oh, our characters are killers, but the motivation is very different from what we think of for the likes of Ted Bundy, Jack the Ripper, or Dexter Morgan who seem compelled to kill with no clear motivation. In my experience, most...

I have a confession to make. My name is MGibster, and I hate steampunk. Steampunk is the triumph of aesthetics over substance.

I always thought The Culture series was a dystopian future where humanity was no longer the master of their own destiny having been relegated to the status of pets of god-like AIs.

We tend to separate the natural from the supernatural, but I'm not sure that was as common in the past. And if we're to posit that magic is real, well, it's just another natural force rather than the supernatural.

Vader is a work in progress. I need to let it completely dry before applying the icy Hoth base. Then when that dries, I’ll give some object source lighting another try.

Fear is the oath to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Darth Vader scares the hell out of me. I mean painting Darth Vader scares the hell out of me because black is not an easy color to paint. A friend of mine asked, "What's so hard about it...

I chose GURPS over Champions because my friends were already playing the former. We never really gave Champions a chance because we were so heavily invested in GURPS. GURPS really does a great job at what it set out to do. One thing I loved about the third edition sourcebooks was they always...

Can we order a pizza using the report button?

You're right. I think we can all agree the biggest thing missing was a Bruce/Barbara romance. It's what everyone wanted.

In my current Greyhawk campaign, a recurring villain threw a bunch of dried plant matter into a campfire and it sent the PCs on a magical quest. As I described the psychedelic scene it was accompanied by Ina-Gata-De-Vita by Iron Butterfly blaring out of my phone. That's how you kick it old school!

If you say Gygax three times while looking into a mirror he will appear and run you through Tomb of Horrors.

I think the biggest reason a lot of people don't want to play 1st edition AD&D is the rules. If you can get past that hurdle, it's a really good edition of the game. Who wants to deal with the myriad rules you may or may not use, different point amounts for leveling based on class, THAC0...

Batman TAS is the best version of Batman across all forms of media.

Let’s talk about your equipment. Get your mind out of the gutter, I'm talking about painting here. I'm working on Luke Skywalker as he appeared in The Empire Strikes Back and I'm going to try my hand at some fancy object light sourcing to simulate the glow of his saber. You can't see it very...
