System Mastery 224 – Fiasco Classic
Mea culpa time (Jef version): This is one of those games where I knew exactly what it was and have been recommending it for years for any RP session that […]
Movie Mastery – Megamind (2010)
One of the few actually decent DreamWorks animated films but it still can’t escape the dreaded “all the characters dance” ending.

System Mastery 223 – Tephra

Happy Christmas in July in March! It’s time for some holiday cheer, because we were looking for a different game but ended up with this one (it’s explained in the […]
Movie Mastery – The Toxic Avenger (1984)
An earnestly fun, low budget comedy with high gore and nudity content that would honestly have aged pretty well if it weren’t for all the racial slurs and homophobia.
Expounded Universe 202 – I, Sometric Exercise
Over and over I’m exposed to characters I’ve heard of, stories I faintly remember, but at each turn I’m confronted with the nagging fact that someone has been inserted into […]
