Lila’s Haunted Asylum Misadventure – Part 2 – Releana’s Path

L

Releana stood still for several seconds as the other two hurried off toward their designated buildings.  For a moment she had started to protest, but shook her head instead.  “I’m not afraid, damn it!  I’m better than this!” she thought, taking a deep breath before she headed toward the building on the left.  It was the smallest of the three, and she hurried through the overgrown parking area...

Surprisingly Amazing – Gundam Build Divers Re:Rise

S

So, this week marked the end of the latest Gundam series, Build Divers Re:Rise.  This is the second series in this particular setting, and if you’ve seen the first series, you might have been turned off by it’s lackluster story and characters.  To say it was a disappointment for me wouldn’t be an understatement; it lacked what usually makes a good Gundam series, even a more...

Lila’s Haunted Asylum Misadventure – Part 1 – The Hike

L

“What’s the matter, you two?  I’m the spoiled rich girl, so I should be the one lagging behind!  Aren’t you supposed to be some kind of treasure hunter and adventurer, Lila?”  Releana’s haughty laughter trailed back down the steep hillside to the kerryn and elf that were struggling to keep up. Lila breathed heavily, sweating profusely even though she wore light clothes and a light day pack, and...

Updates and Future Plans

U

Well, now that my birthday has passed (took last week off for a reason!) and the world’s done gone crazy, I suppose I should get another update on what’s been going on and what I’m planning going forward. As far as my life, there’s been little in the way of change at work; I work for a local ISP, and we’re classified as a utility, so basically an essential service. ...

Consume Less, Create More

C

A bit late this week, but I’ve been fighting off what might be the flu; it’s been going around the office something fierce, and I think it’s trying to bring me down.  So far it’s not gotten worse than a runny nose, a cough (which seems to be developing into a seasonal cough I always seem to get around spring that lasts forever but then suddenly developed into a sore throat...

Exploring Space (RPGs)

E

Nothing too major this week, but I’ve been trying to get myself back on course and start working on my Sci-Fantasy RPG setting, and so have been reviewing my choices for a good system that can handle what I need it to do.  My initial plan is to make use of a modified version of the Star Wars Saga Edition rules; I have pretty much all the books and played the hell out of it for years, so...

Struggles in Writing – A Multiverse of Possibilities

S

-A galaxy-spanning space opera, with treasure hunters and giant robots. -An Old West that is not our own, filled with a mix of fantastic races and ancient technologies. -A world of super-powered heroes and villains facing off in a world ruled by the offended with social media accounts. -The hills of Eastern Kentucky, but filled with horrors beyond imagining. -A post-apocalyptic land with mutants...

From the Post Apocalypse to the Far Future (With Giant Robots!)

F

Proving that my mind knows no ability to stay focused anymore, I’ve found myself on a completely different train of thought since Saturday morning. A friend of mine showed me the trailer for the new Sakura Wars game that is coming out in April, and I was reminded that I hadn’t gone back and listened to the original version of the opening theme that I fell in love with back in the 90s...

Exploring Retrofuturism and Hauntology

E

Well, I had intended to make something of a weekly post here, but thanks to a delay at the start of the week due to an issue with my eye (massive floaters suddenly appeared in my left eye; turns out it was a blood vessel that detached after some laser surgery I had a few months ago.  The Doctor doesn’t seem to think it’s indicative of anything worse, though, so that’s good.  And...
