I've just turned 51. Well, last Tuesday actually. That trip to Minami I just mentioned was my birthday present to myself. Been checking out the presents, Star Wars socks (and a nice shirt) from the Mother-in-Law (wearing a Darth Vader set now), a Llamas With Hats "CAAAARL!!" t-shirt from The Wife (which I am also wearing now), money from my Mother ( Read more... )

The last word Carrie Fisher left us with. A good word to believe in. Bloody hell though, it's difficult, this year seems to have been just one after another and these last few days have frankly just been taking the p*ss. George Michael, Richard Adams (he was 96 mind you) and now Carrie, the people's princess, a far more suitable title than the ( Read more... )

Well of course it does, but what I mean is that I've completed the West End Games ruleset I wanted to assemble, 1st edition Core Rulebook, the Star Wars Sourcebook, Imperial and Rebel Sourcebooks, Campaign Pack and Gamemasters Kit, Cracken's Rebel Field Guide and the Death Star Technical Manual, first six Galaxy Guides (1st edition) and the Planets ( Read more... )

I was thinking of going to the local branch of Muji, they have a range of very nice analogue watches, quite elegant, between £25 and £30. But I was watching Life on Earth the ( Read more... )

Always a big choice when playing a science fiction RPG. Which starship do the players end up with? Since I've started limiting myself now to Sci-Fi RPGs pretty much (Victoriana's gone up on Amazon, grew tired of it, specifically with them bringing out yet another edition after only a few supplements) I've been looking through the various systems ( Read more... )

While I'm waiting for my various Star Wars RPG goodies to arrive I have found this- http://www.d6holocron.com/Read more... )

I have completed my "Star Frontiers" collection. Found a copy of "Zebulon's Guide" on Amazon for not too silly a price (and I had birthday money to spend) so snapped it up. It even had the detachable star map inside, so score there. It's purely for completion's sake really, I'm not likely to use the alternate rules they proposed, but it does act as ( Read more... )
