RPG Diehard: October 2010
http://rpgdiehard.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 1, 2010. Pretty terrain for a Song of Blades and Heroes. I met up with my regular miniatures group (well, just the one guy this time) to play Song of Blades and Heroes. The folks at the game shop had recently built some gorgeous new fall scenery pieces, so we whipped up a quick battlefield featuring an autumn forest leading up to a brooding manor house. The game was so PRETTY! The autumn tree clumps looked just right with my marauding fighters mixed in there. And the defenders' keep w...

RPG Diehard: August 2011
http://rpgdiehard.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 26, 2011. Fully painted: Pachydon sci-fi elephant troopers. Back at Little Wars I picked up a pack of Pachydons, which are these bipedal elephant-men with laser rifles, part of the Blasted Planets. Sci-fi line. Yes, they are awesome, and completely zany as well. The rest of the line includes gator-men, moose-men and various other genetically modified critters, all armed with the latest 22nd century battle equipment. Patrick W. Rollens. Wednesday, August 24, 2011. The latest iteration of qu...

Delimited Liminality: [Book Review] The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer
http://johneno.blogspot.com/2010/08/review-diamond-age-or-young-ladys.html
Wednesday, August 4, 2010. Book Review] The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer. Is so much fun to read that it's hard to blame him for that. It's an engaging style in which to tell tales of characters who are leading interesting lives, both in a biographical sense and in that of the traditional Chinese curse. By keeping the pacing brisk and giving its characters a lot to do, The Diamond Age. August 5, 2010 at 8:13 PM. I guess theres some serious gender politics in them? Sergio Leone and t...

Delimited Liminality: [Film Review] Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
http://johneno.blogspot.com/2010/08/review-scott-pilgrim-vs-world.html
Tuesday, August 24, 2010. Film Review] Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Two of the guys from my boardgaming group and I were talking about Riki-Oh. And how the plots of those movies are really just excuses for their protagonists to fight a bunch of differently-gimmicked opponents, yet manage to be kind of mystifying at the same time. As one of my pals put it, there's no real plot to speak of, but there are a stultifying number of events. Rather than Thrill Kill. Came out and was greeted by rapturous reviews ...

How to Start a Revolution in 21 Days or Less: Dungeon Soap Operas are the Best Kind of Soap Operas
http://revolution21days.blogspot.com/2009/09/dungeon-soap-operas-are-best-kind-of.html
How to Start a Revolution in 21 Days or Less. Sunday, September 13, 2009. Dungeon Soap Operas are the Best Kind of Soap Operas. It's been three sessions since I rolled any dice in the solo game, and before that it'd been at least five or six sessions since they came up at all. (At least on my side of the screen.) It's not quite free form - a few spells have been cast, and ability scores referenced - but, as Trollsmyth mentioned about the time that the new style started,. Labels: doom and tea parties.
