Shoving Corona Brand Toothpaste Back in the Tube
They’ll never let us go back to our normal lives. Not because of “the science” but because of the egos. The technocrats have too much invested in their own sense of self-worth to ever admit that they botched the entire Summer of CoronaChan. They can’t walk back any of...
Alternative Sci-Fi Pulp Adventure Armies Figures
Here’s a quick line-up of a nice batch of pulp sci-fi figures, ready for the table. Including a few civilian types, to help flesh out the space station. Still trying to work out the best way to grab photos using my cell phone....
The Power of “Domestic Terrorists”
Not going to lie: there were a few days there when Milwaukee was still burning that things got real tense. The anti-bad people had their run of things, and even successfully declared independence from these United States. (At least a few square blocks of them did.) Mayors huddled in...
Wizard Funk 2
Intrigued by the promise of a return to those halcyon days of the late-70s when I was too young to participate in zine culture, I threw five bucks at DiceBro for a hard copy of Wizard Funk 2. And boy howdy did I get exactly what was promised –...
The Clumsy, Big-Headed Front in the Culture War
Pundits of all stripes are falling all over each other trying to be the firstest or the loudest decrying the Redskins finally caving in to the demands of the Woke Mob to end their nearly 90-year tradition. The clever-clever crowd ha also started taking bets on which mascot they...
A Heavy Dose of 15mm Sci-Fi Fun
The Alternative-Armies great big sci-fi-stravaganza has added a whole lot of fun to my collection. Before, I had at least one of everything that I needed. Now, I’ve got all sorts of options, and if my Void Pirate early plays are any indication, they will be put to good use. ...
CoronaChan Lives!
Today, I’d like to share with you a nice little review of the Amazon top title, CoronaChan: Spreading the Love, by Aaron Giddings over at Sticks, Stories, and Scotch. This really is a great collection of works by authors with considerably smaller audiences than they deserve, and the fact...
Viva Le Roi!
Over the last decade the internet has collectively decided that any holiday celebrated by Christians or Americans should be marked with lots of snarky condescension and derision of the celebration. In that spirit, let’s take this Bastille Day to remember that the birth of the French Republic was accompanied...
Void Pirates Roster
After an interesting experience learning about stat priorities in Void Pirates I took a swing through the wilds of the net for a decent character roster and found a whole lot of nothing. So I built one myself, and now you have one too! It’s not great, but it’s...
Adventures of the Blackraven
The first game of the Adventures of the Blackraven has come and gone. In this project, I used the campaign tables from Five Parsecs from Home to generate the quartet of space faring ne’er-do-wells plying the shipping and smuggling routes way out on the fringes. Once I had personalities...
