In Prey, the recent Predator movie, there are numerous call backs to the previous movies. One in particular that stood out, to me at least, was the net launcher weapon the Predator uses. Originally introduced in the 1990 film Predator 2, this is one of the few weapons in the […]
It’s Gencon this weekend, and while I couldn’t attend, I’ve been following the product announcements and news as much as I can. New Starfinder books announced: Scoured Stars collected adventure path! A book about Ports of Call (actually they are doing that for both PF2E and Starfinder)! Golarion World, the […]
Picture the scene – Your players have just come back from the Vast having fought off some unspeakable horror, and they are ready to return to civilized space. Only, coming back from Gods Knows Where means you are coming back to the fringes of the space you know, and at […]
Have you ever watched a show and seen an idea so wild you just had to incorporate it into your next GM session? That was my feeling watching the giant mutant caterpillar attack on Netflix’s new Resident Evil show. It’s in the first episode, and the encounter is a bit […]

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. […]
