PSICB719_500

Well, gosh, I guess it’s okay to talk about this now. My first scenario book, THE DEMAGOGUE DEVICE, is now available for pre-order at Paizo and Amazon! I had a blast writing it, and I have high hopes that people will have a blast playing it! A big thanks to Sarah Newton for the opportunity [...]

World Without Updates

pilots_rev

Hey, WWS fans. I’m still alive. My game is still on hold. I think of this blog all the time, and the things I’d love to do with it. But I just haven’t had the time lately. I’d love to say that WWS will be back in full swing soon, but the truth is, I [...]

Day of Fudge Raffle at Dicecreator

Custom Fudge Dice at Dicecreator

Apparently the owner of Dicecreator is raffling off some of his beautiful Fudge dice! Now could be your chance to get your hands on some unique-looking specimens. I actually use Fudge dice rather than two d6s in my SbA game, so I’m always salivating for some new dice. At the very least, you should go [...]

Zone Board for Starblazer Adventures

SbA Game Board

Inspired by this post on the Cubicle 7 forums, I whipped up some zone “boards” for Starblazer Adventures, for use in space combat / encounter scenarios. The idea is to cut them out, put them on foamcore or cardstock, and (re)arrange them on the tabletop as needed. You could then put some paper miniatures directly [...]

Top Six Starships of Ki-Ryn Studios

With the recent release of the Midnight Rose starship deck plans from Ki-Ryn Studios, I wanted to take a minute to give some love to Ki-Ryn’s products. If the following sounds like a giant plugola, it pretty much is, but it comes from a place of genuine enthusiasm: I adore Ryan Wolfe’s work. When I [...]

Days of Plunder: Serenity

serenity_fate_starblazer_rpg_title

The capstone to Joss Whedon’s oft-lamented Firefly television series, Serenity managed to wrap up most of the loose ends that the series left in the wake of its cancellation. Left with the unenviable task of wrapping up multiple seasons’ worth of television in two hours, Serenity is probably one of the densest sci-fi action-adventures ever [...]

Season 2, Episode 3 – Fall to Pieces

mindjammer_title_2

Synopsis by Gina Swensen. We begin with our crew at Vacuum Hell in the Dive Bomb Bar, talking about the Artifact and what it could mean, when Kenichi sees some members of the Dragon Syndicate walk in. The Syndicate members come over and start harrassing Zeen and Kenichi, whom they’ve had fights with before. Before [...]

Days of Plunder: The Abyss

plunder_the_abyss_6

Last time on Days of Plunder, I cribbed some RPG ideas from Forbidden Planet, a science fiction classic that fits neatly in the space-opera vein. This week, I want to talk about The Abyss, James Cameron’s 1989 underwater action-adventure. While it’s not quite as classic and certainly not space opera, it still has quite a [...]

Guess who’s working on an OFFICIAL product for SbA / Mindjammer?

mindjammer_title_2

I will give you one hint: It’s me! I’m finally moving into the realm of the published RPG writer, making me a well-rounded person with my own keys and apartment and friends… I’ve actually been working on it for awhile, but only now can I actually talk about it. And I can’t really say much [...]
