Thank you Modoc for a great write up. I was just setting up to write one about this very topic.… Continue reading Adventures in the East Mark is No More

Defender Gaming Initiative – Supporting Those That Defend Us
I am really excited to have known about this before Rolling Boxcars took this project live. I as a vet am eager and hopeful to see this project be a huge success. Defender Gaming Initiative - Supporting Those That Defend Us.

Monster Flipped: The Phase Spider
Right as I was wrapping up the post for the Phase Spider I had an inspiration. Yes the Phase Spider is a great Monster In your D&D and PF games. But the cool part about the alien nature is that you could easily slip this big nasty in to a few other settings with little… Continue reading Monster Flipped: The Phase Spider

Robotech RPG Tactics, Wave I – Part II (Problematic Models and their assembly, and Component Quality)
I desperately wanted to back this project but I had little to no faith in Palladium. After years and years of loving the RIFTS system and spending what had to be close to twenty years for Beyond the Supernatural. I was sadly certain that this amazing kickstarter was not going to stand up to its deadlines and quality would suffer greatly in the end.
This is a great post about the state of the finished product and the woes of what could have been one of the best kicks of the year.
By way of preface, this was supposed to be a fluff post, and take maybe a couple hours to write while I worked up test models for the game, took pics of the sprues, and noted down the hard spots for a new modeller.
It’s been a sodding week, and I’m only covering the worst offenders so far; the Destroids are on hold until I can get some magnets.
The mini quality has been, hands-down, the most controversial part of the entire game to date. Is everything shit? No, not by any means.
But all three armies (Zentraedi, Malcontent, and UEDF) get the shaft on something. The Quel-Regult is by far the worst offender, with multiple parts that don’t fit, and a missing component (see below). The UEDF player, meanwhile, gets a bit screwed by having even more models to build than the Zen player – models which take almost…

DMing 101 – Christmas
Tis the season and since I am still packing for my move. I thought I would just leave this good bit of reading here for you. I love Themed games.
Welcome to the DMing 101 Christmas special! As part of the ongoing genre’s series, I’ll be offering some advice on how you can run a special game for your friends to make Christmas a bit more nerdy, just like I promised I would (aren’t I nice).
Advance warning: Part of this article espouses views about Christmas that may greatly contradict some people’s perspectives, I know it can be a touchy subject for some, so you have been warned.
