Ashley R Pollard: Jupiter Ascending
http://ashleyrpollard.blogspot.com/2015/07/jupiter-ascending.html
A diary of a writer of science fiction as she dons her mecha combat suit to enter a future of endless wonder. Monday, 13 July 2015. Just watched Jupiter Ascending. This weekend, and had to comment, because really why all the negativity? Describe their film as being the Wizard of Oz in space. I would say while channeling Charles Fort. The former for the idea that we're property, the latter for the whole Gothic Lords of the Instrumentality. This is not to say that Jupiter Ascending. I have no idea. Moving ...

Paint-it-Pink: Object 295: Pokhodnaya Boyevaya Platforma
http://panther6actual.blogspot.com/2015/06/object-295-progulki-boyevaya-platforma.html
A Sci-Fi whiz's wargaming blog about Ogre/GEV, Battletech, and Heavy Gear amongst other things. Monday, 8 June 2015. Object 295: Pokhodnaya Boyevaya Platforma. If you're confused by the changes made to this blog post title it's as a result of email exchanges with native Russian speakers. See the notes at the end. Or as we like to say here in Britain, "It's all gone Pete Tong." Rhyming slang for wrong, named after a former disc jockey. Which means people, but decided I didn't like the sound of that in Rus...

Paint-it-Pink: Repaints & Additions
http://panther6actual.blogspot.com/2015/06/repaints-additions.html
A Sci-Fi whiz's wargaming blog about Ogre/GEV, Battletech, and Heavy Gear amongst other things. Monday, 15 June 2015. Renumbered because I'm using a different conversion for Sgt Tachikoma's CASE-2X. And yes I did repaint around all the other original decals. Not recommended as a high fun activity. Comparison with original paint. I decided to repaint my first two CASE-2X suits, which can be seen here. You can see the original paint here. I doubt I would have the will to replicate it across two squads of s...

MOVIE: Maggie (2015) |
https://megwood.wordpress.com/2015/05/25/movie-maggie-2015
Laquo; Exciting Fall TV News! BOOK: So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson (2015). One of the reasons I like zombie movies as much as I do is because I also really, really like movies about pandemics, and a lot of zombie films are essentially movies about fast-spreading viruses chewing up the globe. I like pandemic movies both because they are scary in an authentic, contemporary way, and also because they are not. That is, of all the things I worry about in life, and I worry about a. And so, as with.

MOVIE: Grabbers (2012) |
https://megwood.wordpress.com/2015/04/10/movie-grabbers-2012
Laquo; BOOK: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (2011). Exciting Fall TV News! Of the batch we watched on my week off, this was easily my favorite. It’s not just funny and clever, it also has a great big disgusting alien monster in it — whee! Recipe for joy in the Wood family! Plus, the solution to staying alive in this crazy yarn ended up being “get real drunk,” and who among us hasn’t wished, at least once, that that would actually help with anything whatsoever? Highly, highly recommended! This entry was...

Southern Style GURPS: Magic Related Advantages
http://southernstylegurps.blogspot.com/2016/02/magic-related-advantages.html
Friday, February 12, 2016. Here are some magic-related Advantages I use, including Trained by an Archmage which I promised to post today. Sorcerer or Trained by an Archmage. Any hostile spell cast on you gets a -1 penalty per level of this advantage. You add your level to any resistance rolls vs. spells cast on you, or add double your level against Area spells. This may be purchased in play with earned experience. Magic Resistance (Improved, 150%). Sorcerer or Trained by an Archmage. You are free to igno...

Southern Style GURPS: Making Diseases Effective in Fantasy
http://southernstylegurps.blogspot.com/2016/04/making-diseases-effective-in-fantasy.html
Friday, April 8, 2016. Making Diseases Effective in Fantasy. My latest solution is having Magic-Resistant diseases, and making Cure Disease one-try. So, for example, the Grey Death, which is often fatal and has Magic Resistance 10, can be a real threat to a society. This seems to be the best one so far. I think it's also appropriate for some diseases, especially "true" leprosy, to be Cure Disease immune. Why the Focus On Disease? April 14, 2016 at 12:32 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
