If there’s one thing I like, it’s a game based on a goofy premise. Lucky for me, there are games like The Great Brain Robbery from Cheapass Games out there. In a nutshell, this game is about zombies in the old west, robbing a passenger train full of government cheese in search of [...]

I’m back from the beach, and it was a good little vacation. I got burnt in a few spots, got kind of an uneven tan, but otherwise had a good time. Got to play Apples to Apples with my wife and my parents; always a plus in my book, because this game is [...]

I’m off to the beach for a few days, since I don’t have to work until Tuesday. Thus, I probably won’t be posting for a couple of days; I’ll have my laptop with me, but I don’t know what the Internet situation is going to be.
The second thing that I wanted to mention was [...]

This is a mechanic that borrows heavily from Serenity: The Roleplaying Game, by Jaimie Chambers and Margaret Weis. I re-tooled it for the d20 System, specifically for a varient that I’m working on right now. I’ve edited the below entry to make it more generic and less specific to my varient. Disclaimer: [...]

Or something less dramatic, maybe. In case you hadn’t noticed the big red logo on the right-hand side of this page, I am now a Funagain associate. What does that mean? To you, the reading public, it won’t be that big a change. Any time, from here on in, when I [...]

I played two games last Saturday night, with a couple of friend of mine. First, we played a couple of games of Munchkin, which was immensely enjoyable. Second, we played Arkham Horror, which was also enjoyable, but in a very different way.
*Munchkin:* This one’s great for any fan of D&D, period. [...]

Brennan Taylor, the guy behind Galileo Games, just contacted me to let me know that the psionics supplement that I wrote for Bulldogs! is, in fact, in the pipe even as we speak. Needless to say, this got me excited. In other, related news, Brennan Taylor is currently launching another role-playing game, Mortal [...]
