My latest, greatest Kickstarter bundle arrived!

Posted on January 30, 2024 by Steve

The core rulebook came out last year but it was worth the wait. I thought I chipped in for the Pacific Rim part too yet I don’t care. It’s great to have what I need to run a campaign or whatever. … Continue reading →

Now to cover the last picture in January’s set of anniversaries going down this 2024 since D&D is the biggie at 50 this year. Around this time, the first set of rules were published. TSR printed a thousand copies, full … Continue reading →

1983: Dungeons & Dragons debuts on CBS Saturday Mornings

Posted on September 17, 2023 by Steve

What a dumb (and somewhat brave) move by CBS TV and TSR to go forward with this Saturday-Morning cartoon. Brave? Dumb? It was in the middle of the moronic Satanic Panic so anything associated with D&D, especially a show aired … Continue reading →

Fellow Democrat’s shirt

Posted on August 13, 2023 by Steve

Obviously, I had to get a picture for a friend who is a huge fan of Toto. Now that I think about it, Dorothy could’ve been funnier if she made Kansas (the band) reference. I’d go with their more pleasant … Continue reading →

I’d play this video game

Posted on June 20, 2023 by Steve

Great shirt worn by a nice lady at my nearby HEB! She said Tim himself saw it and loved it at a convention. Let’s see if I can name all 10 movies to choose without looking them up on imdb.com, … Continue reading →

The D&D Movie: Actually worth seeing

Posted on April 20, 2023 by Steve

Twenty-three years later, Hollywood has tried again and this time Paramount and Hasbro succeeded in making a film based upon the D&D property with successful; something the overrated Gary Gygax could never do. Now admittedly, I wasn’t seriously onboard because … Continue reading →

Some unicorn fun!

Posted on September 28, 2022 by Steve

A rather funny encounter between a “manly” dragon and a male unicorn. Good thing the interaction ended well because most non-metallic-based dragons are Evil and unicorns are Lawful Good and people think a date between a Trumper and Sanders Supporter … Continue reading →

Your Highness

Posted on September 23, 2022 by Steve

Here’s a dud that didn’t age well after 11 years with James Franco being revealed as a creep adding insult to the injury my eyes endured for almost two hours. I definitely need to see Danny McBride in The Righteous Gemstones … Continue reading →

Good luck to Lisa Stevens on her retirement

Posted on September 3, 2022 by Steve

Yesterday, Lisa announced her total retirement from game publishing after some 35 years. Not bad finishing out as the CEO of Paizo, a company which makes a rival product to D&D but personally, I really dislike Pathfinder‘s Second Edition because it’s … Continue reading →

AS I WISH Part One

Posted on March 10, 2022 by Steve

It is the 35th Anniversary of The Princess Bride and the MacFarlane toy company made these awesome action figures. Each has 22 points of articulation but sadly, they’re both right-handed so you can’t do the duel accurately. Well, maybe I could … Continue reading →

Italian #57: Licia Troisi

Posted on October 15, 2021 by Steve

For starters, her name is pronounced LEE-cha TRO-easy, not, what I’m predicting from lazy American English, LEE-sia TROY-see. I’m also going to be upfront, I don’t know much about Mrs. Troisi other than I was thrilled to find a person … Continue reading →

The COVID Ages? More like Dungeons & Dumbasses

Posted on August 12, 2021 by Steve

It’s a good thing dragons aren’t (or weren’t) real. I could imagine this happening but over the years, I’ve learned through books and documentaries that the people from the Dark through Middle Ages weren’t as stupid or superstitious as we … Continue reading →

Now seating Baggins, party of four

Posted on July 18, 2021 by Steve

I would expect to see this at the Elrond’s Rivendell Bar & Grill but it was at my first visit to the Furniture Mall of America. The bigger shock was that this rather unique, impractical setup had sold tags on … Continue reading →

RIP Richard Donner

Posted on July 6, 2021 by Steve

What a great run Richard had! He started by directing TV shows: good stuff, namely  The Twilight Zone‘s “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” and dreck, Gilligan’s Island. Then he did several movies but the one that got him rolling was The Omen, don’t … Continue reading →

This month’s über-nerdy header

Posted on June 3, 2021 by Steve

June 1981 is when I really plunged into Dungeons & Dragons, or as the world has come to know it…D&D. There was a prologue to my 40-yeard-old hobby. After Xmas Break 1980-81, there was a new kid in my seventh-grade … Continue reading →
