Atlus Press

As a fan of the pulps I have recently become a big fan of Atlus Press.  This small publishing house has in the last few years begun publishing reprints of dozens of different pulp series of the 30s and 40s.  High quality publications that however also carry a high price.

They have been focusing on some [...]

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I have played every Elder’s Scroll game from Arena to Oblivion.   Oddly however I have never finished one.  The massive worlds always seem to distract me from the story and I end up getting lost in my wandering until I just get bored and quit.  Skyrim might finally be the game where I actually bother [...]

Orcs Must Die!

A massive wooden door busts inward and behind it a green tide of ferocious beasts swarms forward.  Blood flies as a wall of arrows lets fly, followed by spiked floors and pits of tar.  As you watch a lucky few stagger past these devious traps you unsling your crossbow and let fly.  And why, because [...]

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception

As I started to write this review I went to look back at my reviews of the previous games and realized I’d never written them.  I meant to of course, but somehow never got around to it.   As a quick recap allow me to say that Uncharted was good, Uncharted 2 was amazing.  Uncharted 3 [...]

Here There be Goblins

And Ogres, Gnolls, Oh my!

Due to a bit of D&D burnout, and the fact that I wanted to show the two power gamers in my group another way, I decided to throw together another FATE one shot.  I mentioned this system a few months back when I ran a pulp game, however as the aforementioned [...]

Blood on the Sand: Ch 23 – The Poison Lair

Having angered and made an enemy of Wheelock the Poisoner, the party was left debating if they were willing to assassinate an old ally or attack the one man they believed could cure T’Chai and Brogan of the curse laid upon them in the Thrax Tombs.  Being the people they are I pretty much knew [...]

Vacation to the UK – Vol 4 – The Tower of London

London is an incredible city, it’s also very unique in its distribution of the old and the new.  The German blitz in World War Two left a large portion of the city damaged and completely destroyed many buildings.  As a result you now can walk down a street and see bar that’s three or four [...]

Batman: Arkham City

Batman: Arkham City has taken my best game of the year award so far.  Uncharted might steal it back, but I’m not sure even it can stand up to the Dark Knight’s newest opus.  Rocksteady has hit this one our of the park.

Graphically the game doesn’t look much different from its predecessor.  But that’s fine [...]

Vacation to the UK – Vol 3 – Guinness and Whiskey

So Ireland.  We spent two and a half days on the Emerald Isle, all of it in Dublin.  Much like England I highly recommend a visit to anyone who has the time and the cash.  It’s a beautiful country and I will go back some day so I can see more of it.

We stayed in [...]
