Day 7 – Favorite Free RPG There aren’t really a ton of free RPGs out there, come to think of it. Sure, there’s Stars Without Number, C.J. Carella’s Witchcraft, a bunch of OSR games, and a few other things I haven’t played. d6 and d20 are both “free” in that their open game licenses are core rules are freely … More #RPGaDAY2015 Day 7 – Favorite Free RPG
Day 6 – Most Recent RPG Played This is one of the softballs on the list, since today is one of my two weekly game days. If this question had come up on Friday like it was supposed to, it would have been our biweekly Edge of the Empire campaign. Instead, it’s one of our ongoing attempts to … More #RPGaDAY2015 Day 6 – Recently Played
Day 5 – Most Recent RPG Purchase *cracks knuckles* So, I didn’t go to GenCon this year. I’d thought long and deeply about it, but in the end decided not to; on the bright side, if I decide to go next year I should have enough frequent flyer miles and Marriott reward points to comp some of … More #RPGaDAY2015 Day 5 – Recent Acquisitions
Day 4 – Most Surprising Game This is an interesting one. I tend to research most of my purchases well in advance rather than go into them blind, or buy games because they hit one of my interests—I already knew I’d like Achtung! Cthulhu well before I picked it up, for example. That said, there have been … More #RPGaDAY2015 Day 4 – Most Surprising Game
Day 3 – Favorite New Game of the Last 12 Months I feel that some of these headers could have been rewritten to increase clarity and add brevity, but whatev.

Day 2 – Kickstarted Game Most Pleased I Backed I haven’t been burned by a Kickstarter (yet), but the list of Kickstarter successes I’m glad I backed is long and includes a lot of excellent game-related stuff. Some I expected to be good (Fate Core), others were real surprises. I’m only thinking about those that have arrived, that … More #RPGaDAY2015 Day 2 – Kickstarted Game
I’m always late to the party, but let’s try a meme! I missed most of it last year due to vacation, and skipped part of it here because of work, so let’s just do it a few days late and call it good mmkay? Day 1 – Forthcoming game most looking forward to Sheesh. Start … More #RPGaDAY2015 Day 1 – Forthcoming Game
Six months of playing the new D&D and it’s starting to come together real well. On the bright side, it has the most compact and streamlined D&D rules I’ve ever seen, with a lot of awesome design choices. Are there any downsides, though? Well… … More Some Thoughts on Five

In case you live under a rock, Reaper is a company headquartered in Texas that makes miniatures for fantasy and science fiction tabletop gaming. While Reaper’s been one of the industry’s mainstays, and … More On Reaper’s Bones
When I was growing up, science fiction and fantasy TV shows tended to share three main elements: they were usually 1) pure action-adventure affairs; 2) filmed in the abandoned quarries, forests, and subdivisions of Vancouver; and 3) were episodic/monster-of-the-week shows. You know the drill: Hercules, Xena, Sliders, SeaQuest 2032, Stargate: SG-1, The X-Files, Farscape, Andromeda, Bablyon 5, … More The Evolution of Adult SFF Television
