Where It All Began I met Elisa in 2018 at the first D&D in a Castle in France, and my life has been better for it. You know those friends whose face lights up when they see you, or make your world seem just right? That's Elisa to me. Every time I see something she...

D&D for Beginners: Your Ultimate Introduction to Role-Playing Games
With the updated 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons, what I’ve started called 5.24, I thought it might not be a bad idea to toss out a basic How-To guide. This isn’t going to be a review of the new book or revised rules—I might do that later. This is just an overview...
The Day My Nostalgia Died
Ok, this movie was a trip. My memories of American Pie were definitely seen through the rose-colored lens of teenage nostalgia. Watching it now reveals that it doesn't hold up. This movie is not good. It's not the worst—though I have to admit, I'm a bit stunned by...
When They Were Three Kings
This movie was fun. Again, a soundtrack that slaps. I forgot how much criticism there was during and after the 1991 gulf war. The critiques kind of got lost in 2001. This war wasn't known to people because it was successful, it was known because it was highly...
What is, Meh to the Max?
This was one of those movies where the acting was above what the movie provided. I don't know if it was the story alone, or the poor plot edits (lots of, wait did I miss something?), or the reinterpretation of the movie from its 1955 counterpart. I don't know. I feel...
Tea with a Spoon of the Delusion of Fascism
Ok, first thing first. The leads in this film are some of the most epic actors of our time. The critics didn't like it much, unlees they were looking at it from a 60 european art cinema lens. I feel like this movie has a European/French-Film narative to it that is...
Pay it somewhere
The anti-hero was nothing new in 1999. And honestly, neither was this movie. It is based off a book written in 1962 called The Hunter. It was the second movie to be adapted from it. The first being Point Blank in 1967. This movie felt. It felt. I don't know. Forced? I...
It wasn’t so much an affair
Ok, this movie. I thought I rememebr this movie. I didn't. I rememebred the poster. I remembered Rene Russo often having powerful female roles. I remeber Pierce Brosnan being Bond and always getting that suave lead role. This was a bizzarely appropriate first movie...
Lost Voyages 402 A Galaxy Through the Stars
A STAR TREK ADVENTURES Roleplaying Game. Captian's Log Stardate: 50551.2 Sometimes being here is a blessing/curse. Pick one. The Cardassian Union has officially joined the Dominion. While we are very far away from the Alpha Quadrant, decisions there are affecting us....
