Nightwatch: The Solo Wargame
This is a game about killing monsters. All kinds, anywhere, any time. So speaketh Patrick Todoroff, the scribe behind Nightwatch. This little gem of a wargame is a solo wargame that features a fairly simple core mechanic upon which you can bolt all kinds of weird and wonderful special...
The Sci-Fi Dungeon
You don’t have to choose. These are all shots from a dungeon originally built for straight-up dungeon crawls. By avoiding permanently affixed fantasy elements, you can change the whole look of the place with just a bit of scatter terrain. The power core columns are blue wooden dowels normally...
A Testament to True Detective
There is a strange thing about the show True Detective that I haven’t seen anyone mention before, and it’s a good thing. These shows – each season represents a self-contained 8-10 hour movie than one episode in an on-going narrative – are at their heart mysteries on tow orders:...
Exponential Costs

Remember to eat lots of carbs, stay indoors and sedentary, avoid family and friend, and most important of all: take your...
Nightwatch Roster Sheet
My first Nightwatch. Since nobody else is going to do it, allow me. If you’re ready to play Nightwatch, a solo fantasy skirmish game by Stalker7, then you’re going to want to use a more compact and efficient character sheet than those in the book. They are fine. They...
Nightwatch: The Solo Campaign
So I ordered a copy of this based on the recommendation of a viewer over on the channel, Justo Perez, and it’s been a real struggle to read. Not because of what’s in it, but because life is hammering away at me with reckless abandon. Not sure why, but...
Utility Terrain
Final shots of some utilitarian terrain. The lumber here is coffee stirrers liberated from the local coffee shop eating on a bed of popsicle sticks and lies. ...
The Very Model of A Modern Wargame General
The modern table continues to take shape. A bit of screen, a bit of scrap wood, and a bit of sand… And you’ve got some nice tall fences. I’m not crazy about these fences. I should have oriented the screen diagonally to make a diamond pattern, and the cloth...
