MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Peace on Earth, good will to men! 

(And elves, dwarves, and halflings if you allow those in your campaign.)

Happy Independence Day!

To any and all Americans out there today, have fun, be safe, and remember the precious gift of freedom is always a thing to be grateful for. God Bless America!

Happy Father's Day

Whether you are one, have one, or had one, think on them with kindness today and do the best you can.

Happy Easter!

Christ is risen!

He is risen, indeed!

Holiday Hengeyokai!

I got an awesome Christmas present from my brother & his family this past holiday season, and the box came today! Whoot!

Yep, he got me some gift card action from HeroForge, so I could get some minis made more or less to my personal specifications thru the modern miracle of 3D printing.

I ordered 3 minis in their standard plastic, and decided to fill out the character roster for a feudal Japan/yokai themed adventure I'm gonna be running at this year's Helgacon.

Since I'm adapting my material from the classic 1985 "Oriental Adventures" book, the big thing I kinda lacked was hengeyokai, which are shapeshifting animals who can assume humanoid form. So my three custom characters are an usagi bushi, a neko ninja, and a kame sohei.

I got the figures with a slot base, so that I could go with the standard 20 mm Citadel bases I use for player character minis.

All in all, I'm thrilled with how these came out!

The 3D renderings on HeroForge's creation screen don't do the figures justice. The detail is crisp and clean, the scale is perfect, and there were barely any rough spots that I filed off easily. They're gonna fit in with the other figures I've acquired for this game flawlessly.

Depicted here with a Perry Brothers samurai and a Reaper kitsune.

I'm really psyched to paint these up.

So my prognosis on HeroForge: They're a fair bit more expensive than yer average mini, but the detail and quality is great, and if you have something kinda specific or unusual in mind and are willing to spring for it and wait about two weeks, then it's a great option!

Kampai!

Merry Christmas!

 

Peace on Earth. Good Will to All.

Happy Godzilla Day!

Today in 1954 the movie "Gojira" saw general release in Japanese theaters.

What a long, strange trip it's been...

And for an extra bit of giant radioactive mutant nostalgia, visit the very first site I ever went to when I first got online back in 1995-ish:
 Barry's Temple of Godzilla

Happy Halloween!

Have a spooky one!

And while you're at it, there's still time to run a Creepy Crawl, so download the .pdf and terrorize your players until the wee hours of the night!

Stay sick, group!

The Creepy Crawl for One and All !

Announcing the latest in grisly game books from Bigfella Games!

As my regular revenant readers know, I've been spinning tales for the past several months about this spooky setting. Little did any-body suspect that all the while I've been working in my secret laboratory to stitch together this marvelous monstrosity for every-body to enjoy!

Halloween is only 54 days away, and if you and your group wanted to run something in an old school vein (both in terms of rules systems and/or horror theming), then consider folding this feature into your frightful festivities. Written for Labyrinth Lord, but easily adaptable to any rule set you prefer, this book features a sinister small scale sandbox setting containing 5 discreet adventure areas, three custom creepy classes, a mass of manglesome monsters, and more grave robbing than you can shake a shovel at. Bring some stakes, some wolfsbane, a mandrake root, and of course some candy!

Available for download as a .pdf here: The Creepy Crawl

Give it a week or so, a fortnight tops, and I'll be digging up a Print On Demand version too in the same bat location.

Happy haunting, you exquisite corpuses!

Happy Independence Day!

Remember to leave some milk and cookies out for Captain America tonight!

Not really my joke, but I read it on the 'net somewhere and thought it was good enough to use here!

Happy Father's Day!

Love 'em while you got 'em.

Happy Memorial Day!

And a big thanks to all former and active members of our military.

(With a special nod to all those folks in the armed forces who deploy with a few polyhedral dice stashed in their kit.)

Your service is appreciated. Come home safe.

Happy Easter!

Christ is Risen!

Merry Christmas!

All Hail the Whistle Pig!

Happy Ground Hog Day!

(Click the song link, you won't regret it. Plus, there's a reference to 10' poles, so it's gaming related!)

Merry Christmas!

And many happy returns, no matter how far you travel.
