Warhammer 40 Number of Views :515I’ve been posting up things on Twitter, little projects I’ve been working on, and almost every time, someone says, “Jeeze, man, how many projects are you working on?!” Good question. My hobby is collecting projects. I’ll often begin working on something, then leave it to the side when I become bored, only [...]

Fiasco,
Super Heroes Number of Views :921We’ve done it! My brother Andrew and I have made a brand-new playset, the second I’ve worked on. You will of course, remember Toil & Trouble, my set that takes place at a particular wizarding school. Well, now we have a brand new playset, “With Great Power…”. This playset throws you into [...]

Comic Books,
Super Heroes Number of Views :550WARNING: This article is not about gaming, it’s about comics. So, I’ve been reading the “New 52″, DC’s attempt to reboot their universe. Not having been a fan of DC and its frequent “Crisis” stories, as well as a whole universe of Mary Sues, I was actually looking forward to reading this [...]

Super Heroes Number of Views :594And I’m back! There’s been a lot of complaining on the interwebs about DC rebooting their entire universe. Basically, after the big summer comic event at DC, they’ll be renumbering all of the comics and restarting the universe. Rumor has it, Superman and Wonder Woman will be dating, lots of characters are [...]

Movies,
Reviews & Culture,
Super Heroes Number of Views :816A bit different than my usual posts, but something that should interest most of the readers. On Sunday, I had the opportunity to attend a sneak preview of Thor. The film can be summed up in one word: Wow. Going in to the movie, I didn’t know what to expect. I’m usually [...]
Number of Views :586There’s a guy at work, Emmanuel, who came up to my desk one day and asked about my Captain America statue. He’s got a thick Puerto Rican accent, that, after you spend a few minutes talking to him, you are able to fully ignore and understand him. He hadn’t spoken to me [...]
Number of Views :1083There’s been a lot of hubbub lately about the new Avengers movie coming out in 2012. If it was just going to be about a team of super-heroes it wouldn’t be generating much interest. The fascinating thing is the shared universe that Marvel has been interweaving in its movies. At the end of Iron Man, [...]

Super Heroes,
TwittRPG Number of Views :607I’m getting ready to run a new TwittRP over on Twitter, and am posting up the rules here, as well as looking for interested players. Currently, the interested parties are @d20blonde and @b_s_lynn. Note that you will need a Twitter account to play. I tried this about two years ago, and it [...]
Number of Views :684I’ve been blabbering on and on about Mini-Campaigns and their benefits. I know, I know. “Move on!” you say, “we get it.” But I thought I’d share some mini-campaigns I’m looking forward to running in the future. 1. Mouse Guard: Naturally. Probably run the game over the course of a full game [...]

Sci-Fi,
Super Heroes Number of Views :756Previously, I had mentioned splicing genres together to create interesting new settings. I’d like to cover, in detail, some different mashups of various settings and see what we end up with. Today’s entry: Sci-Fi/Super Heroes. Imagine a setting where the Solar system has been fully populated, with not just colonies, but whole [...]
