Movie Mastery – War-Gods of the Deep For a while in the 60’s there was a trend of Edgar Allan Poe stories getting turned into movies starring Vincent Price. Then […]

Expounded Universe 258 – Balls on Parade Our heroes emerge from the unexpected ball bath covered in the winnings of victory, which of course are more balls. Then a bunch […]

Expounded Universe 257 – Seed Partners Seek a Third In an attempt to give Anakin some more depth, we introduce… more whines of his? I guess now he loves spaceships […]

System Mastery 257 – Mythic Roleplaying Allow us to introducing our game… It’s finally here, the box set that sat on my shelf for four years while we waiting for […]

Expounded Universe 256 – Zonama Be Startin’ Somethin’ It’s weird to be reading a book that is ostensibly full of weird surprises and decisions that necessarily go nowhere after Attack […]

System Mastery 257 – Mythic Roleplaying Apparently what we have here is often considered to be the first stab at a DM-less RPG system! It’s from 2003, and boy is […]

Movie Mastery – Warriors of Virtue Trying to cash in on the Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers but having none of the charm and fun that made those work. With […]

Expounded Universe 255 – Anakin’s Got Crabs Another episode about shifting pieces into place for a story to happen, but still there’s something here that’s working for us. Not sure […]

Expounded Universe 254 – Tarkin What They’re Given Cause I’m Wormin For A Livin Okay, so now we know the bad guy of the hour! Raithe Seinar, starship engineer and […]

System Mastery 256 – Silvervine This one is interesting! It seems to be a compilation of two books, but is largely a single game about steampunk furry anime fantasy guys […]

Expounded Universe 253 – Raithe Squdron Classic villain introduction this week as we watch a discussion (that we find slightly charged in that good gay way) between Raithe Seinar and […]

Expounded Universe 252 – Jedi Believe I Can Fly We’re opening with just chapter 1! That’s right this is gonna be a 67 episode season! Ah okay I’m just kidding, […]

System Mastery 255 – Horror Rules It’s rules, for horror. From the DTRPG files, we’ve read a 2003 horror game with some neat ideas, some snarky stuff, and a slow […]

Movie Mastery – Cats Don’t Dance (1997) We just keep randomly getting animated movies for some reason. Blessedly, this one is not a low budget European turd but a fairly […]

Expounded Universe 251 – Wraith Squadron Wrap Up Here we are at the end of all things, time to discuss our overall take on this look at the X-Wing side […]

System Mastery 254 – Savage Worlds Rifts So we might be a bit off schedule but that’s okay, because we spent the time stuck in various airports and cities reading […]

Movie Mastery – Millionaire Dogs (1999) A German animated film about the dangers of wealth and the corruption of morality. Just kidding. Some dogs get a mansion and then do […]

Expounded Universe 250 – The Waggler Rides Again The big finale for the first Wraith Squadron book has arrived! Who will live? Who will die? Will Tyria get any lines? […]

System Mastery 253 – Savage Worlds So we might be a bit off schedule but that’s okay, because we spent the time stuck in various airports and cities reading Savage […]

Expounded Universe 249 – Can You Trigit Shoot I forgot to remember what was in this episode. I think Trigit maybe dies? I was supposed to remember this, wasn’t I. […]

Expounded Universe 248 – Walking on Broken Glass Prowlers Finally, a resolution to that whole “Get the crew of the Hawkbat sick via extremely convoluted heist” storyline! They… get the […]

System Mastery 252 – Valley of the Pharaohs Well well well, if it isn’t a Palladium game. And one of those weird ones where Simbieda didn’t write it or pretend […]

Movie Mastery – Sir Billi (2012) The final film from beloved actor Sean Connery and the first feature length animated film from Scotland. It is also so bafflingly terrible that […]

Expounded Universe 247 – Phanan’s Grinder Profile The heist continues! Along with some sorta obvious character assassination of our Bothan slicer, presumably to set him up for either a betrayal […]

Expounded Universe 246 – Falynn Off The Roof Well at least they’re not performing psychology on each other any more. Instead now our squadron of heroes is dating, donning stupid […]
