I’m no prude, but…
... you can keep your weed (and other drugs) at home, if you want to play at my table! So today is 420 (BLAZE IT!), and since this is basically a Stoner Holiday, I thought we should discuss a little "Table Etiquette", so to speak. I know a lot of people who enjoy some…
To Screen or not to Screen?
Look, as you may already know, I'm an old-school Tabletop Roleplaying guy. Been in the hobby in some form or another since the late 1970's, "Forever DM", I have over 300 TTRPGs in my collection, more dice than I can count, and so on. In short, I have all the gear,…
It's a John Woo film. This is but one example of his style.
A new home?
So Twitch has been my home for Livestreaming video content for literally years, ever since the first Adpocalypse, when YouTube decided I was too small of a creator to bother paying the few pennies I was making there anymore. Anyway, things change, life changes, and despite not being…
It's almost as if Trump is avoiding the press... But why?

WE just need to bring back the Fairness Doctrine. Then right-wing "news" outlets would be required to provide both sides of the aisle equal time, or don't give either side an outlet. They could continue to feed right-wing misinformation, but would have to provide the Left equal time to denounce it.
A Fanboy’s review of Starfield’s newest content
I have only been able to put a few days worth of playtime into Starfield's new free update ("Free Lanes") and paid story DLC ("Terran Armada"), but here are my initial thoughts regarding the content. But first, let's take a step back, and look at…
This is why I gave up on trying to run any PbtA games for my old group, after a Monster of the Week one-shot. I was looking for them to roleplay, they just wanted to kill stuff. If there was no combat in a scene, they whined about it.
Now I play solo exclusively. Yes, it's sad.
Getting my first taste of the new update and DLC for "Starfield" today. Going to stream first on the Xbox Series X, then on my laptop later in the weekend. No mods, vanilla run, to experience the game as designed by Bethesda. I've done this every time a new DLC drops for the game.
This Weekend’s “Twitch” Schedule
The newest content update ("Free Lanes") and story DLC ("Terran Armada") for "Starfield" just dropped the other day, so I expect you'll know what I'll be doing this weekend! It's going to be a Livestreaming event on Twitch, with me exploring the new content on the…
I used to read physical books for about an hour every day, but that just isn't possible with my long commute (2.5 hours round trip). So I listen to audiobooks instead, and I'm getting in more reading than I ever did before.
Brackish
I miss playing "Call of Cthulhu". While I wouldn't call CoC the best tabletop roleplaying game in the world, nor would I even call it the best horror TTRPG on the market, there is just something... special... about playing that game. Maybe it's just that I started playing it back in 1986,…
Well, she is evil, and rightly deserves to be dragged for her performance as Press Secretary, Trump is wrong to blame her for his low popularity. The people can see just how nasty he is, and they aren't having it anymore.
Leavitt is basically the Mouth of Sauron. Nasty, but not real problem.
Well, that was a waste of time
So a few weeks back I posted about trying to play "Lord of the Rings Online", with the thought of going back to streaming that game on Twitch on a regular basis. Since that game had been the most popular on my old stream, I figured it might be a good choice to return…
If Pam Bondi is about to get tossed to the wolves, she should release the unredacted Epstein Files on her way out.
Burn the 🍊 💩 🤡 in an effort to avoid jail time. There's no way she'd do it out of love of country, patriotism, or belief in the rule of law, but revenge might be enough.
Who needs “Starfield” when they can have this!
So as you all may know, I'm a huge "Starfield" fan, as well as a fan of sci-fi video games in general. But I've been thinking a lot about this, and I think I have come up with a way to save "Starfield"! Online play. Specifically... "Starfield Online"!…
TOEBEANS!
So how long until 6th Edition is announced?
A few weeks ago, Hasbro announced what we'd all known for years now: That the current edition of "Dungeons & Dragons", called 2024 Edition by Wizards of the Coast to differentiate it from 5th Edition, which launched in 2014, was actually 5.5 edition. I…
Not incompetence, but cruelty.
Cruelty is the point of this administration.
This.
If they are so afraid, maybe they should resign from the administration and become whistleblowers? Save their own asses, flee the sinking ship now, before their coworkers beat them to it.
Last rat on the deck goes down with the ship, and her captain.
I didn't manage to fully get my s**t together until I was 25, and that was primarily because the lovely woman I married (together nearly 32 years now) was pushing me to grow the eff up.
I really don't deserve her.
My wife and I prefer cookies, so that's what we'll celebrate with.
Wildstar didn’t deserve its fate, but Carbine did.
Apparently it's "MMORPG Nostalgia Week" here on the blog, so you'll have to excuse me. I just feel the need to discuss one of the greatest travesties that has ever occurred in Gaming, being the cancellation of the MMORPG "Wildstar". Now I played…
Depends on the hero. Lobo? Yes. Batman? No.
What in the Corgi-laden nonsense is this?
So, on a lark driven mostly by nostalgia, I just looked up one of my favorite old MMORPGs, being "Rift". I played that game from closed beta until well after Trion Games sold it off to Gamigo several years ago, and really enjoyed it. Maybe it wasn't the…
So... much... cringe...
“Starfield” coming into its own?
Earlier this week, Bethesda officially announced the next major free content update for "Starfield" ("Free Lanes"), as well as the next story DLC, "Terran Armada". Both will be launching on April 7th, 2026 (which we already kinda knew, but whatever), and - as a…
Whiteout
So I have several ideas for new tabletop roleplaying games I'd like to write, but every time I try to put words to paper (in a digital sense), I just lose focus. The words won't come, or my thoughts on the system to use, no matter how simple or solid, get muddled and unworkable. In short,…
