Your Beat 'em Ups! Give them to me! My daughter and I have played the hell out of X-Men on my PS3. I'm bored! She's not, she could blow up sentinels with Storm all day long. Are there other button-mashers out there that: -Have a playable female character (so Ninja Turtles are out) -Available on PS3 -Multiplayer I'm aware Dungeons & Dragons: Shadows of Mystara comes out in June. Can't wait. But until then, I need something new since I can't listen to "Nothing stops the Blob!" again.

Time for Realms of Cthulhu! Sleep tight!

Look at how frakking adorable a baby triceratops was. This skull is cute by itself. Imagine the big eyes. Cuter than even Cera from The Land Before Time . This has a point. Baby triceratops obviously did not just look like a miniature adult. Did these drastic changes stop when it got to adulthood? Or did it continue to change, as the theory that Torosaurus is actually a more mature Triceratops says? Brian Switek is one of my favorite science bloggers. Here's his latest. http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2013/04/24/the-evolution-of-the-wubbanub/ h/t Jennifer Ouellette  #teamtriceratops

Every once in awhile I do an image search for owlbears. Because owlbears are awesome. And then I find that in the 80's Timothy Truman drew a post-apocalyptic comic about an Apache ex-army ranger who went around slaying monsters that were thinly veiled caricatures of 80's political figures. Awesome. http://www.herogohome.com/2011/02/19/out-of-the-vault-scout/

Domains at War has me looking at 15mm minis. Why? I've got hundreds of 28mm minis, and enough lizard man, humanoid, and undead minis to make full armies I'm sure. I don't need another scale! Someone stop me before I buy! But just look at these Copplestone barbarians. Look at that detail. http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/range.php?range=FM

Funded!  I'm not terribly invested in the stretch goals, but I'm still contemplating the Legate level because it seems like a fun thing to do. We'll see how much damage is done to the checkbook while I'm on vacation over the weekend. My ACKS players should consider the $20 Signifier level for the PDF. Matthew Nelson Bock is already high enough level to be a general if you guys can weasel your way into command of a company of mercenaries again. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/autarch/domains-at-war

Owlbear cub.

One of the most amazing things about Young Justice is that they took Black Manta, a joke of a villain, and made him into a diabolical badass. His Darth Vader school of fatherhood is actually kind of touching.

If your character is a mutant animal, how important would the option of having human looks as a mutation be?

Holy crap. I had no idea until I just checked wikipedia because of Lon daDiceGuy Braidwood's post that my wedding anniversary is also the anniversary of Superman's first appearance. This makes me a little giddy. Happy 75th birthday, Clark. Originally shared by Lon daDiceGuy Braidwood Happy Birthday Superman.

Time for Deadlands!

I'm really tempted to do something stupid and pledge at the Legate level for the Domains at War kickstarter so I could make triceratops-riding barbarians a standard unit. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/autarch/domains-at-war   Looks like they'll hit goal today sometime.

This begins tomorrow for my Deadlands players. From Dusk Till Dawn on a train. I love this adventure.

I don't care what anyone says, these are my favorite ninja bad-guys.

In the interest of lightening the mood a little, the following conversation with my daughter happened last night: Abby: "What's black-toast intolerance?" beat Me: "You mean lactose intolerance?" Abby: "Yeah." Wife: "I think everyone has black-toast intolerance, Abby."

Today's post-naptime chill-on-the-couch-with-papa entertainment for the boy and I was Super Hero Squad. At the end of the episode, Thor caught Captain America as he was falling: Cap: "Thanks for the save, lady. Oh, these liberated women of today. Equal pay for equal work, I say! See you around the USO!" I love this show.

THE BEST

I'll have to check this out. andrea sfiligoi is a great game designer. If you like miniatures and don't have a copy of his Song of Blades and Heroes rules, you are a bad person and you should feel bad. Originally shared by andrea sfiligoi http://www.ganeshagames.net/product_info.php?cPath=1_9&products_id=168&language=en   Swatters, my large scale bug-hunting miniatures rules, is available as a $8, 45-page plus covers PDF. As usual, if you see anything strange (typos, something not displaying correctly) send me a message and I'll have it corrected as soon as possible. A printed version will be available on Amazon later this month.  Khurasan miniature will also carry the printed book so you can order it together with the miniatures. The pdf will also made available through our fine vendors but please be patient, as it's a huge file. Inksaving version with no images and reduced pagecount included. http://www.ganeshagames.net/product_info.php?cPath=1_9&product...

I wrote a game and you can download it and add it to your pile of games you never play! Do you like d20s? Do you like outer space? Do you like short rulesets? Then you might like Two-Page Space. It fits on two pages! This folder has the rules, character sheets, and sample characters: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B927w0kbCuZBYWs2VVJXNy0tTEE&usp=sharing Here's a community I made as a convenient place to keep the rules.

Annual review went great, yearly company bonuses coming, vacation to New Orleans in a couple weeks, gaming is plentiful... What's this I'm feeling?

The aMazing Labyrinth.

Ok, tomorrow's ACKS session will be missing the character with the artifact that is the focus of the current main plot. But the PCs are all back at their home base, so I'm thinking there's a huge New Years party going on when they get back. I need a list of stuff that can happen when an border fort full of soldiers and adventurers really decides to tie one on. The fort is fully provisioned with merchants ripping off the adventurers, taverns, temples, wizards, and is occasionally under siege by giants and other humanoids.

FML. The Versa was a champ and I got to work anyway. As I was pulling into the parking lot there was a flash and then a huge peal of thunder. In a snowstorm. Crazy!

Wednesday night rockin'.

Tonight at First Avenue. Yeeessssss.

The Iron Giant is a movie about an innocent who learns morality not from bronze-age oral tradition, but from a modern secular demi-god.

Time for bed.
