Speaking of Penny & Aggie...
Elided!
I knew it was the end of the story (for now anyway), but that's not what I was expecting... well, actually looking back at Fans! or CCS, I really should have expected to see it, too! :)
Anyway, it's always a little sad when one of your favourite stories is coming to a close, but, at the same time, also quite exhilarating.
I have no idea how ( Read more... ) -
Love for Penny & Aggie ... again!
I've been catching up on my comics for the past few months. Phoenix Requiem ended nicely. Gunnarkrigg Court remains the highest level of awesome, and somehow the closest thing to Doctor Who i've seen anywhere, print, screen, or web... Fans! has a great new epic storyline...
...but Penny & Aggie just... wins.
So... I totally didn't see that coming! ( Read more... ) -
Grabbing a Nice Quote from Some Space to Think:
"Honestly, initiative is one of those areas where I really prefer GM instinct and dicelessness. That is to say, while numeric initiative totally makes sense when everyone is part of the big picture (as in the case of, say, a tactical minis skirmish) that's not how fights work in fiction or perception. They are lots of miniature stages within the ( Read more... ) -
I love reading AW APs...
...and this one from Judd's Hoover Dam game is the best move ever:
"When you read SPEC OPS MANUAL 053: Psychic Warfare, roll + Sharp:
"It reads like stereo instructions but the stereo is your mind and the music it plays is the act of killing people."
On a 10+, you can take 1 of the following 3:- +1 forward with any Weird based roll used to hurt or ( Read more... )

Yes, Burning Wheel Elves are Awesome
Burning Airships - Wow, just wow. What a fantastic setup for a high (!) fantasy game! Make sure you scroll down to read the GM's write-up of the first session...
The whole thing kind of reminds me of Doctor Who a bit - with travelers from another time arriving in the midst of earthshaking changes and creepy alien influence, but having antagonists ( Read more... ) -
The Sagan Series
These videos are wonderful pro-space propaganda, which makes me think they'd be the sort of thing the Commonality would disseminate.
1. The Frontier is Everywhere
2. Life Looks for Life

February Movie Marathon
I just spent most of the last month watching movies with a Netflix trial subscription; this adds up to a lot of movies, maybe even than i'd seen prior, maybe not.
These are the ones that moved me the most:- Monsters (American)
- The Life Before Her Eyes (American)
- Tell No One (French)
- Don't Look Back (French/Italian)
- Evil (Swedish)

The Joss Factor: Buffy versus Angel
Now that I've watched all 5 seasons of Angel, let's take another look at the fates of the series' characters.
Buffy:- Buffy: dies in a heroic sacrifice in year 5, but is resurrected by Willow against her will; she eventually recovers
- Xander: survives seven years on the Helmouth to become quite the hero in his own right
- Willow: survives a fall into ( Read more... )

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Marathon & Thoughts
I just used my Hulu Plus free trial to re-watch pretty much all seven seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer back to back. Right now I'm feeling even worse than after the 24 hours of 24 marathon; not only physically, but emotionally as well - Buffy is quite the roller coaster ride, emotionally. I'm gonna need a little time to recover from all this!
