I had a nerdgasm today. My new favorite comic book is The Sixth Gun, a action/horror western. A friend recommended it because we are starting a Deadlands campaign. So I started reading it on Comixology and it is amazing. Today I downloaded issue 21 and after seeing the cover my nerd senses started tingling but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then on the recap page there was a dedication to Larry Hama, the amazing writer of the GI Joe comic. Then I remembered that in issue 20, Becky, the main character had been deafened by an explosion. Holy shit. It's a silent issue as an homage to GI Joe #21. In many ways it's a reverse of the GI Joe story. In GI Joe #21 Snake Eyes breaks into Destro's mountain fortress to break out Scarlett, who'd been captured by Storm Shadow. In this issue of the Sixth Gun, Becky is descending into an underground city to rescue her friend Drake out of the clutches of the Knights of Solomon. In GI Joe the man in black tries to rescue the redhead.

Originally shared by Alex “Dungeon Daddy” Mayo One of the more interesting concepts put forth by Jon Peterson, author of Playing at the World: A History of Simulating Wars, People and Fantastic Adventures from Chess to Role-Playing Games is the ideological split between wargames and fantasy RPG's. He chalks this up to some degree on the anti-War movement of the mid-70's. Fantasy gaming offered the chance to engage in violent fun without being tethered to the military fetishism of straight-up wargaming...and orcs, who were deemed to be inherently evil , provided enemies who could be killed without compunction. I haven't read the book (I'm cribbing based on his comments on Three Moves Ahead) but it's an interesting take.

Played some 13th Age tonight. That would depict the party surrounded by dretchs, which in 13th Age are the excrement of greater demons.

Highlight of last night's #ACKS game? The explorer getting his four front teeth knocked out by a Morlock, gaining a -2 reaction roll to the opposite sex. Then later back at the keep trying to hire a bladedancer as a henchwoman, but missing the reaction roll by two.  Also the cleric spending his loot on magic beans.

Reading ACKS on my tablet next to a campfire, and posting on G+ via 4G wifi tether. The future is pretty sweet. Except for the raccoon that stole my loaf of bread and minute ago...

Originally shared by Jennifer Ouellette Impassioned defense of Ravens linebacker by Vikings punter Chris Kluwe. Bonus points for "narcissistic fromunda stain." "By using your position as an elected official (when referring to your constituents so as to implicitly threaten the Ravens organization) to state that the Ravens should "inhibit such expressions from your employees," more specifically Brendon Ayanbadejo, not only are you clearly violating the First Amendment, you also come across as a narcissistic fromunda stain. What on earth would possess you to be so mind-boggingly stupid? It baffles me that a man such as yourself, a man who relies on that same First Amendment to pursue your own religious studies without fear of persecution from the state, could somehow justify stifling another person's right to speech. To call that hypocritical would be to do a disservice to the word." http://deadspin.com/5941348/they-wont-magically-turn-you-into-a-lustful-

All this Shadowrun talk lately has me thinking about my favorite piece of equipment from any RPG ever: The Savalette Guardian, aka: The Robocop Gun. My cyber-PI from 2e Shadowrun, Jack Hammer, had one. From the lowly 10ft pole to the mighty space marine chainsword, what are the greatest pieces of equipment in RPG history?

Nobody in this picture is wearing pants.

Steve: Wicked cover! Zack: Nothing sexual going on there, just a wizard preparing to assault a woman in lingerie with his purple serpent. Steve: Hey, you know what, it's a fantasy game, and my fantasy is a hot ghost babe flying around a cave shooting magic at a wizard. Zack: Maybe more women would play Dungeons & Dragons if half the pictures didn't feature prancing women in lingerie. Steve: Ugh. More women? Table girlfriends are the worst dude. Jamie used to bring his girlfriend Cheryl to my Waterdeep campaign and she always forgot her character, always made a cleric, always got bored after like an hour and would just roll a pencil around and draw little flower designs on her character sheets. Usually we had to end early because she would get in these whispery conversations with Jamie and he would remember he had to do something the next day. Zack: You're not listening to me, Steve. Maybe she would have taken a greater interest if the adventures offered up something tha
