I got together with my family yesterday to celebrate several of our birthdays. I received some of the old RAFM Call of Cthulu figures, and a really cool tin litho rocket that my sister found in Spain. My parents got me some sets of figures I’ve been wanting for a long time. FASA makes the [...]

As Candy and the kids are in Florida with her mom this weekend, I had a relaxing Fathers’ Day of painting. Actually, I fiddled on the computer and took naps on and off until noon. Then I got up and began to paint. Sergeant Major Miniatures has a set of figures called “The Crew,” which [...]

The second game we played at FusonCon was the fourth installment of my Duke Morrison “story arc.” I have run episode three several times.

In [...]

Since my wife and kids are out of town for a few days visiting her mom, I went to War Horse Farm for “FusonCon,” a gaming day with some of the folks from the Frederick, MD, and Gettysburg area. We played Chris’ Look, Sarge, WWII game in the morning and a Pulp, GASLIGHT game [...]

Anything under 70 degrees is [...]

The HAWKs have been working on a zombie club project. Many of us have painted zombies. Our next phase is to build a shopping mall. Each of us will create one or two stores which will be assembled into a mall. I’m making a clothing store and a gaming store. Inside the gaming store are [...]

The Third Doctor in hand-to-whisk combat with a Dalek. He had invented something that stunned the Daleks and set their Save roll to 2. In addition to my Captain America GASLIGHT game, I also ran a Dr. Who game at Origins. WARNING: If you are a Doctor Who purist, you may be offended by this [...]

I ran a Captain America game using GASLIGHT at Origins 2012. Chris, Dave, Greg, and I wanted to attend Origins, because none of us had been in many years. We have a lot of awareness of our rules on the East Coast and the West Coast, but not in the middle of the country. We [...]
