While perusing the wonders of Wikipedia today, I came across a modern location that every necromancer would love to set up shop in. Seriously, there must be [...]

[Agent S.E.V.E.N.] Agent Maximilian Fielding

Suave, sexy secret agents in action-packed espionage. From James Bond to Triple-X.

Pimp My Gun Redux

A couple of weeks ago I posted a link to Pimp My Gun, a pretty sweet flash-based gun maker / modifier. If you haven’t been back since then, go check it out again. The developer has added a lot of new content, a cleaner menu system, and the ability to mirror parts and even scale [...]

[Gangbusters] Gunrunner Pete, Mafia Thug

I’ve been playing Mafia Wars and Mob Wars on Facebook and have that roaring 20’s gangster urge. So off to the gaming shelves to pull down copies of the 1st and 3rd editions of Gangbusters, another old-time TSR game from the era of Gamma World, Star Frontiers, and Top Secret.

“As long as there have been wars, there have been mercenaries. Whether for money, patriotism or just the love of adventure they came; the Lafayettes and Von Steubens, the Mickey Marcuses and Mike Hoares. Rallying to foreign flags to lead, fight and die. These are the twilight soldiers.”
MERC is an interesting odd-ball of a game [...]
