Cleanup On Aisle Linkage
Clearing out the chaff from the wheat of my link list this week, and it occurred to me that some blogs need more than a quiet pointer. Around here, we believe that ACTUAL PLAY >> game theory, and today I’ve got one of the better AD&D session report blogs...
Still Werfen the Flammen
Can’t keep a good man down. Though silenced by the smol brains who run “Big Speech”, Bradford C. Walker is still laying down broad swaths of cultural napalm. “The enemy sucessfully memory-holed the authentic American literary culture, and if not for a pair of accidents–D&D and Star Wars–that hole would have...

An Eerily Good Show
The good stuff. Back in the early 1990’s director Joe Dante (Matinee, Gremlins) made a little low-budget anthology show called Eerie, Indiana, that deserves a lot more love than it gets. The simple premise is that 14-year old Marshall Teller’s family drags him from New Jersey to a small town...

If you are into good fiction written from a classical American perspective, you should add UpstreamReviews to your daily...
Now That’s What I’m Talking About!
Bradford Walker steals a march on me by laying out in detail some thoughts that have only been drifting, half-gestated through my mind lately: RPGs are a wargame derivative. It’s time to explain why this is so, and in so doing expose what the appeal of the medium is...
Reclaiming the Culture, One Weird Hill At a Time
Wargaming. We don’t talk a lot about it here anymore. Not since I revived War In a Box and launched the best dang wargame channel on YouTube. But let’s go over my new focus a bit. Even those of you who aren’t interested in wargames might be interested to...
