Reconciliation Status: Failed
Thanks in large part to Canada’s Orwellian styled Truth and Reconciliation Committee, which has nothing to do with either truth or reconciliation (as these committees always do) the Holy Father has embarked upon A fruitless journey to the land of the maple leaf. Let me remind you of one...
Modron Problems
*be me *sit down to log on to modern technology >That is not your password. Would you like to reset it? Not really, but ok. *gets text, enters code, enters old password* >You cannot use your old password. ._. Fine, here is a whole new one. Great! Now you...
Take the W
At last, our long national nightmare is over.Our long local nightmare continues, as Friday’s decision overturning Roe only allows individual States to do the right thing. It does not compel any states, nor FedGov itself to do the right thing. The fight is not yet ended, and even as...
Happy Father’s Day
Keep it up, fellas! The world little understands, nor appreciates, how much you do. Nor does it realize how bad off it would be without you. Do it anyway. You’re doing God’s work, and even your worst attempts do more to make the world a better place than the...
Enter the BROSR Matrix
Let’s walk back some of the derision that I heaped on Matrix Games last week, shall we? I’ve been reading up on the subject because somebody smarter than me recommended them. Also, they look like a style of gaming that has something to offer the #BROSR in the way...
The Mouse Is Roaring
It just keeps happening! The #BROSR: Giving you tomorrow’s D&D headlines…today! Several months ago, friend of the blog Mike DiBaggio interviewed friend of the blog Rick Stump on YouTube to discuss the latter’s 42-year old AD&D campaign. It’s a great interview. So great I’m posting it here for your...
Matrix Lames
The topic of matrix games has been popping up on my radar a lot lately. For those of you who are uncertain about the term, allow me a brief introduction. A matrix game is a talky talky exercise adjudicated by a referee and structured in such a way as...
Thar’s Doin’s Afoot
The #Trollopulous MegaVerse is the most interesting thing to happen to D&D in decades. Those glorious edgelording bastards in the #BROSR found a way to reinvigorate a hobby that had plateaued and they did it by taking a game everyone owns but doesn’t play and, for the first time...
Hitchhiking to Elite Level Satire
The 2005 adaptation of Douglas Adams’ “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” is an underappreciated gem. Sam Rockwell’s performance as the president of the galaxy presents a perfect blend of Clintonian and Bushian “aw shucks arrogance and charm” that is refreshingly non-partisan from a Hollywood production. He even manages to...
Pray For Peace
We’re really doing this again? Not even a breather from the last barn dance? All right, let’s do this. You would have to be a special kind of stupid to get involved in a border clash in eastern Europe without death on the line, and make no mistake about...
