Zombie Santa and the Elves of Doom

This is a set of free cardstock miniatures featuring a zombie Santa and 3 undead elves. You can see all four minis on the cover at left. It’s a holiday supplement to another set of cardstock miniatures called Katana Schoolgirls vs Zombie Furries, which comes with its own mini-game rules. This set includes the extra … Continue reading »

Invisible People: Troy

“Troy is a good man. He just needs a chance and some real hope. Faith based organizations need to be careful to teach more than Jesus. Often our homeless friends will refuse needed services saying “Jesus will provide all our needs”. Thing is, Jesus works through people. We need to be real with people and … Continue reading »

Keep Your Goals Away From The Trolls

Sometimes  trolls can inadvertently provide you with good feedback. That’s rarely their intention, but if you approach everything as a potential learning experience you can mine something positive from these encounters. For a start, you’ve done something to attract their attention and prompt them to leave feedback. This is actually better than getting no responses … Continue reading »

Bugbears of the Frozen Tears

This is the latest TRIBES supplement from Raging Swan Press. This crew is tied with Rite Publishing as my third favorite Pathfinder publisher (after Paizo and OpenDesign). I don’t know that there’s anything there’ve put out so far that I haven’t found enjoyable or useful. This supplement is about bugbears, my personal favorite humanoid race. … Continue reading »

Invisible People: Jeneen

“Jeneen and her two children live in a tent community in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. The cause of their homelessness is high cost of living in Northern Canada, not wanting to burden relatives, and needing to be close to community services. “Often people ask “why don’t their relatives help?”, which I normally ask “how was your … Continue reading »

Check the sidebars for some excellent articles about why people are homeless and what homeless people need. Visit the archive for his earliest posts, which he made from a public library. … Continue reading »

Pathfinder: Warfare for Beginners 1 & 2

It was the first or second edition of Legend of the Five Rings, I recall, that had a mass combat system where players got to roll to determine how things went in the battle, including key story events. I never actually saw those rules; I was merely a player in a campaign, and rolled dice, … Continue reading »

Invisible People: Cameron

“Cameron wants to stop using drugs, but the drugs that he is addicted to are not easy to kick. He needs help. I hope you watch to the end as his three wishes messed me up. “In this interview Cameron talks about drugs and addictions, lack of solutions, being “dope sick”, and even the prison … Continue reading »

Pathfinder: 101 Not So Simple Monster Templates

Rite Publishing has become one of my go-to companies for Pathfinder material. The material is useful and well-written. The artwork is above average to excellent. The only thing I don’t really like is their “trade dress”, the fonts and borders they use. The writing, and the utility of the material, overcomes that. The same praise … Continue reading »

Science Fiction Treasures, Redux

As part of Katie’s birthday celebration, we did one of the same things we did on my birthday — crawled used bookstores. She goes directly for the yellow spines and the DAW imprint, loving the pulpy goodness of the Donald A. Wollheim era. She looks at the covers and titles first, and if they’re suitably … Continue reading »
