GenCon 2008 here we come!

2008-08-11

HOLY CRAP! GenCon is in just a couple of days. And I have a mountain of stuff I will being doing as part of GR and Scrye. Plus I am running Stargate SG-1 RPG and d6 Bloodshadows. And I am playing in one session of Savage Worlds as well as Tide of Iron board game. Will I be able to get to the dealers room!? Doubt it, unless it is part of a GR thing. I probably will have games to review as well that I need to take back. Somehow.... not sure I can fit it in the car so I will have to ship... ...more... ...

The Demasculinization of Society

2008-03-26

I am seeing so much out there that either points to the deliberate demasculinization of society or its detrimental effects. What is Demasculinization? The stripping down of masculine traits of our society and of our male population. Agression. Strength of Will. Resolve. Strength in stature. Powerful presence as well as a strong handshake. Family and Spiritual Leadership. Strength in Convictions. Competitiveness. All this is slowly but surely being eroded away. Instead, we have to ... ...more... ...

Genious Gov'ment!

2008-08-06

In the same week, we have a federal government agency and a local government simultaneous illustrating government geniousry and why governments need to be as small as possible. A federal agency (I believe it was ICE) enacted a new policy of "voluntary deportation" - a policy that "encouraged" illegal aliens to turn themselves in. TOTAL GENIOUSRY! How long did they work on THAT ONE? How much of our money did they spend working on that one? It is just another example of a government agency c... ...more... ...

D6 System is dead! Long live D6!

2008-07-22

I just read across the WEG and RPGNet forums that Eric Gidson, sole owner of WEG properties, is folding up shop after a lot of effort with very little return. He seems a bit snippy in many of his post. I guess that's because many are angry over his lack of production for that new D6 product they announced about a year ago. He seems frustrated and I can understand. WEG was a solid company until they lost Star Wars (and went through all that pesky bankruptcy stuff). What was wrong with D6? ... ...more... ...

New Games: Alpha Omega RPG and True20 RPG

2008-07-21

I just bought two new RPGs this weekend. Alpha Omega RPG - Shadowrun meets Gama World meets In Nomine. The world has gone to hell, aliens that resemble demons and engels are fighting a war, and humans barely survive in huge technoligically advanced city states across an Earth devestated by econlogical disasters and nuclear war. THe system looks... interesting... but the book is AMAZING. True20 Adventure RPG system - This is a generic and streamlined version of d20, one I ha... ...more... ...

Bob Barr 2008?

This is the guy I think I am leaning towards for 2008. If I vote for him, does that take away votes for McCain.... yep. But I am really considering voting my principles this year, and not my jersey. Bottom line, he's about liberty and that's where it starts... you can't have any of the other things a conservative wants without liberty and getting back to the true meaning of the Constitution. ... ...more... ...

Odd thing happened to us this weekend

2008-06-30

We live in South Carolina and one of the realities of SC is fireworks. They all but unrestricted here. Well, it is not uncommon in my neighborhood to have people firing off fireworks, especially this close to 4th of July. Well, there was aparently someone firing some off last night about 9 PM. This of course draws the attention of my 4YO Taylor who loves fireworks. We sometimes go out and watch them, sometimes don't. It wa s late and past time for her to go to bed so I half expected us no... ...more... ...

Supreme Court Upholds Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms

Well, just when you think all is lost. The problem with this decision is the question of where can the court interfere with state law. The Court just shot down another state law about child rapists getting the death penalty. Should that not be a state decision? They sited the Constitution clause about cruel and unusual punishment, so to them, it was a Constitutional thing. In some ways, they have a point... the clause reads... "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines ... ...more... ...
