Disenchantment shirt that’s overdue
In honor of Disenchantment‘s third season kicking off this weekend, I finally remembered to post a good shirt someone made via TeePublic. I need to do some more research to see if any more gear has been made of this show. … Continue reading

RIP Sean Connery
2020 just couldn’t take a break could it, can’t let us enjoy a limited Halloween and have a little pause before the shitstorm election. I know Sean was 90ish yet I didn’t know he had been ill recently. I’m glad … Continue reading

I hope the king doesn’t kill the messenger
Wizk!ds is another reason why I wish I could live another 20-30 years. Their painted/unpainted miniatures for D&D and other roleplaying games. Man, when I was much younger with more time to enjoy gaming, we didn’t have such a good … Continue reading

Brownie the Dragon!
Brownie demonstrating a cat law…’if I fits, I sits,” as she takes up residency in the Playmobil castle I gave Aaron and Robin for the 2019 holidays. Such a funny little creature.
RIP Iam Holm
Ian will be remembered by me for all the support characters he provided to numerous favorite movies of mine. The duplicitous science officer Ash in Alien, the rival restaurant owner Pascal in Big Night, Bilbo Baggins in Lord of the Rings, greedy head … Continue reading

A flying ship!
With the return of the Eberron Campaign (a pseudo Steampunk world) to D&D comes the awesome minis to flesh out that world! I do have the core book explaining it but regardless, I had to have this sky boat. Being … Continue reading
Rocketman
When it comes to a Biography or Auto-Biography movie, this is more like it! Right away the tagline says, “The only way to tell his story is to live his Fantasy.” Even if it weren’t Elton John, this should’ve been … Continue reading

Hero Forge is now at Beta for color!
I received the e-mail yesterday and couldn’t wait to experiment with the color palettes from my contribution via Kickstarter. Hero Forge was already impressive with their customization to create the mini you want to represent your character. Now you can … Continue reading
Disenchantment characters remade seriously
My friend Steve (or as I refer to him as Stvee) did these “serious takes” on six key characters from my fave Disenchantment as part of a recent art challenge. I threw in some extra money toward his Kickstarter for going … Continue reading

Onward: Streaming at best
One upside the Pandemic has given us was Disney moving this mediocre Pixar movie to Disney+ since movie theaters are shuttered indefinitely. I was glad because I saved money because Alamo isn’t cheap when anything doesn’t deliver. The first warning … Continue reading
D&D joke, January 2020 edition
The joke in this story is universal on the surface because everybody knows how a screw you gag works or the M Night Shama-lamma twist. Go ahead, read it first before continuing. I think the closest mainstream example to the link would … Continue reading
Spirit of 1984 should be the title
Pretty bitchin’ homemade shirt someone had at Pinballz. A Terminator T-something, the kind without the human covering riding a luck dragon from The Neverending Story for those who don’t recognize the white creature. The wearer’s husband has good Photoshop skills so … Continue reading

Another pro D&D editorial…hooray!
Times sure have changed since I was a teenager/college student. Back when the SCLM wrote about Dungeons & Dragons, it was 99% of time the Santanic Panic bullshit or how it was a factor in some misfit’s demise. Well, lazy … Continue reading
WizWorld gels, new gym hours, new fiscal year!
The people running WizWorld Austin were really playing it close to the chest this year. I had been checking about twice a week all Summer on who was coming and their site just kept saying bupkis. Thankfully it shored up … Continue reading
D&D weapons of war part two
Earlier this year, I score two of those killer sailing vessels that WizKids made for D&D. Now I have armaments so they can go on the attack or defend themselves from pirates and evil navies (Pan Tang quickly comes to … Continue reading
