Watching the new Obi-Wan series something stuck out to me. First introduced in the Rebels cartoon, the Sith Inquisitors all have light sabers that are not only dual-weapons, they also all feature a relatively unique hilt setup that allows the blades to rotate like a fan. It’s not used very […]
So Morbius hasn’t exactly managed to conquer the box office with it’s re-release this weekend, Morbin memes non-withstanding, and full disclosure – I haven’t seen the film yet either. But fear not, stalwart Morb-fans! I’m very familiar with the character of Michael Morbius and his long existence in Marvel comics. […]
It’s PaizoCon time! I can’t make it in person this year, so I’ll be doing the online con thing again, but I will be running a game for Legendary Games on Saturday – The Assimilation Strain Recently converted to Pathfinder 2E and D&D 5E, the Assimilation Strain is the prelude […]
I’ve noticed that folks seem to like the Starfinder book previews over the last year, and since I’ve got my digital copy of Drift Crisis, I thought I’d continue the series. It’s a different style of book than we’ve seen before in the Starfinder line, and maybe in any TTRPG […]
Kobolds in space! With just those three words we already have a mental picture full of industrious little dragonkin eagerly tinkering with high tech, dragon themed devices while dealing with a species wide inferiority complex.

The second (and probably last ☹ ) season of Pacific Rim: The Black came out recently. Unlike Gen: Lock, I felt like this follow up season was very strong. They had to move a little fast to wrap up all the loose ends they wanted to close, but it still […]
One of the formative movies of my youth was the story of a programmer getting hijacked into an emergent AI’s dreamscape, forced to fight in a rebellion against digital constructs in service to this AI and overthrow it. That movie is, of course, TRON. It is by no means the […]
There are a lot of TTRPGs that focus on a specific kind of story and setting. If you want a Grimdark futuristic war story there is a very singular game system expressly for that, whereas if you would rather play plucky cybernetically enhanced criminals taking on megacorps for fun and […]
In general, I don’t much care for April Fools as a holiday. The origin is dubious, and the celebration of it is so often mean spirited. Pranks, in general, have never appealed to me. I do like something silly and fun though, so in that vein I thought I’d go […]
