Better late than never…

1) RPGs, definitely a fan of the fantasy genre through many campaigns of D&D. I’m definitely a fan of the old roll&keep 7th Sea and Legend of the 5 Rings. I miss 2nd ed. Vampire the Masquerade as it really had great things going with their clans and it made me look at their other games before it all got nerfed. I’d like to get into Changeling: The Lost as it has sooooooo much potential for good gaming.

2) A good computer game to recommend… how about two series. First, is the Deus Ex franchise that really broke the mold in FPS style gaming that built a huge cyberpunk world and rewarded players more for cloak and dagger action. The second is the Alone in the Dark series. I can only speak to the quality of the first one in a 3rd person Lovecraftian puzzle heavy game. It definitely got my head in the right place as a young kid for the later introduction to Silent Hill.

3) Kitbash/convert-yep.. same thing. Speaking of cutting figures in half….. I’ve had this project on my shelf for a while but I took a pair of Reaper figures and began modding for a 1930s sideshow display. From the waist up Yvette, Magician’s Assistant by Bob Ridolfi (50125) and from the waist down Gretchen, Oktoberfest Fraulein by Werner Klocke (50118). I just recently saw a video on a potential way of sculpting curtains without too much fuss. The last time I tried I was quite upset at my sculpting skills.

4) Narrative play was interesting in Legend of the 5 Rings as it tied into the CCG tournaments. It turned out more like a living RPG storyline from tournament results. I did play a little into the 7th Sea narrative as the GM was a member of NOM (Novus Ordo Mundi) that was a group of GM s that submitted their campaign results to AEG.

5) Not a bootcamp attendee… flights/lodging are pricey and time from work would mean I lose the roof over my cat and me.

 

Now on for music…

Opium Jukebox covering Iron Man … from the tribute album to Black Sabbath in bhangra form

Easy Star All-Stars covering Money … Pink Floyd redone as reggae dubs

Heilung – Krigsgaldr … music to play at high volume while playing SAGA

Death in Vegas – Aisha … something you’d expect from a noir film the likes of Sin City

Deltron 3030 – Mastermind … a great piece of sci fi related hiphop; listen to the whole album for the full storyline

Zardonic – Pure Power … Definitely heavy… headphone wearers beware

David Hasselhoff – True Survivor (from Kung Fury) … All Hail the Hoff!!! ( and the 30 mins of Kung Fury may or may not be a part of your life lost depending on how you like cheese films)
