The Tower Generica
Even with all of the additions, my table was looking a little bowling-green-esque. To add just a little bit of topographic interest to things, I elected to mount my local tower keep (courtesy of Kallistra) on a small, defensible mesa. Front and approach. To keep things nice and generic, I...
Energizing Inspiration
Say what you will about Sci-Fi’s favorite punching bag and his recent lament that the election of the God Emperor to the Cherry Blossom Throne has left him incapable of stringing enough words together in any given day to honor his contract, at least the man admits to his...
Tavern on the Green
Alternative Armies has a great line of single piece resin buildings, but they seem more geared for town life than the bucolic village that I’ve been assembling. Of course, any village worth its salt will have a decent tavern for the local yokels and the passing murder-hobos looking for a...
Sunday Mornings At the Secular Church
Every once in a while, just to keep my lie detector sharp, I like to tune into NPR for a little while. It’s a great way to stay dialed in to the latest iteration of whether we are at war with Eurasia or Oceania. Based on a few snippets...
Building Bridges, Not Walls
Another productive week on the production front with two and a half terrain items completed. The first one is a bit of a ‘gimme’. This simple resin bridge is a Kallistra piece that needs no prep and no basing, just prime and a quick dry brush. The village church took a...
The Problem With Diversity and Comics
He’s too big, and he gives a voice to too many truly marginalized comics fans. The SJW entryists who manage and create comics live in a fantasy land where they’ve redefined “comic book fan” to exclude those who have read comics for thirty years and have money to burn...
Space Princess
Space Princess: Available for pre-order now! Those Sunday night projects always take longer than you think. A simple clogged drain turns into the adventure of a lifetime when a regular dad from the suburbs stumbles across three cold and hungry homeless children late one Sunday night. The youngest, a...

The Dignity of Old School RPGs
Reading about an RPG session from the point of view of the guy running the thing is a new experience for me. Jeffro does a stellar job over at the Castalia House blog with his after-action report of a recent game of Gamma World (First Edition). Usually, yours truly...
Completed Housing Development
My big box of fantasy grows ever larger. Because of the recent additions, I found it expedient to streamline all of my terrain boxes. The collection now includes one box of general ground terrain (drop cloth, woods, roads, streams, etc.), one box of sci-fi specific terrain (billboards, buildings, urban...
