I just got the Star Wars Roleplaying Game: Saga Edition a couple of days ago, and I’m totally geeking out about it. I’m about halfway through the book, and in no particular order, here are some things that I really like about the game:

The changes to the skill system. Instead of the huge [...]

A little while ago, I posted about Deliria, while I was still reading it. Well, I just finished last night, and I wanted to follow up with a few things.
First, I still feel fundamentally the same about the game. I like the setting, and I like the rules; I’d probably jump at the [...]

I just got done watching Pan’s Labyrinth. Very, very good. Those who are unacquainted with the movie should go in knowing two things. First, though it is a fairy tale, this movie is most assuredly not for kids. There’s some profanity, and there’s more than a little bit of fairly graphic [...]

Got Fhtaghn? Those who have been reading this blog for a while may remember that I’m a fan of both Munchkin and Arkham Horror. It should come as no surprise, then, that a game that combines aspects of both games would interest me. I bought Munchkin Cthulhu last night and got to [...]

I just got back from seeing Spider-Man 3 (some spoilers ahead; be warned). It’s interesting; had I gone in not having heard anything about it, I probably would have been disappointed. As it is, though, I wasn’t, since I had heard a lot of people say that it wasn’t as good as the [...]

I’m currently making my way through Phil Brucato’s Deliria, and I have mixed feelings. I should mention, at this point, that I’m not finished with the book, though I am in chapter 6 of 7. The first three chapters are all setting and atmosphere, and they’re completely awesome. Brocato uses a lyrical [...]

HeroCard: Cyberspace is the most recent addition to TableStar Games’ HeroCard series of board/card games. The fundamentals of the card battle system are the same as in all of their previous offerings (read this if you’re unfamiliar with the basics), though there are a few new (and very interesting) rules introduced via some characters. [...]

This past week was my spring break, and I got a chance to do some gaming and watch some really good movies. In no particular order:

I got to play some Runebound this week, which was great. I haven’t played Runebound in a while, but I thoroughly enjoyed playing it again. The first [...]

I finally finished reading Ptolus the other day, and I’ve been letting my thoughts percolate for the past few days. I’ve decided that I’m not going to do a full review for a couple of reasons. First, the review would be ridiculously long and I’ve already covered a number of aspects of the [...]

Well, I finally got the Marvel Trading Card Game Online to work; you may recall my previous post regarding my difficulties in this area. Let me tell you, although the game actually works on my computer now, my opinion of it hasn’t improved much. The client teaches you how to play with the [...]
