Kevyn Winkless has been establishing himself as one of my favorite G+ denizens lately.  His blog deserves to be in any writer’s feed as it is always though provoking and informative.  Even better, he drops idle thoughts in G+ that leave me feeling like Watson watching the whole mystery...

Most of what you’ll find reviewed here at Seagull Rising are works that really blow my skirt up or that really grind my gears.  Starship Grifters, by Rob Kroese, is neither.  Instead, it’s a very funny book with, that is really well written, and just isn’t for me.  The...

More zombies!  This brings the total population of zombies in the dungeon to seven, not a bad little number.  These 15mm.co.uk guys have great hair, too! Undead fist bump! Castle Meatgrinder has a rodent problem.  In addition to the swarms of rats that prowl the halls, the steady drip of chaos...

Recently, the Russian Orthodox Church’s Patriarch Kirill spoke out in support of the Pulp Revolution, the Superversive Movement, and the various stripes of Puppies.  Not in so many words, but his heart is with us.  Naturally, in their interview, Russia Today didn’t explicitly ask the Patriarch what he thought of...

This is going to sound like one of those fake “my woke eight year old asked me,” things that has littered the twit box of late.  It’s really not.  I take full credit for raising my daughter right.  My twelve year old daughter has my genes and she has my...

 Happy Thanksgiving!  I’m grateful you’re all along for this ride.  It’s been fun. Part of my decision to eschew post-1985 versions of D&D is the sheer blandness of it’s creativity.  The most recent title by Wizards of the Coast, Volo’s Guide to Something or other, includes a host of...

This isn’t something that I set out to do.  One of the sellers at a recent Toy Fair had cheap copies of old Conan comics available, so I took a flyer and picked up a series of five of them.  I’ve been on a Howard kick lately, and have...

Shorty on the right is probably just a vanilla fighter, but next week you’ll see why I put him in this photo with the big hairies.  The middle guy just screams Fafhrd, and the guy on the left in full breastplate and fur loincloth amuses me – he straddles...
