Not hot on the alt-WW2 setting but STRIKERS 1945 absolutely has the sauce. Huge step up in control and encounter design from SAMURAI ACES. A joy to play. #stg #shmups

With their decisive victory in seizing control of the industrial sector, the Night Lords were able to repair their Rhino and refit. Now they seek to capture and desecrate a shrine to unleash powers of the Warp, while the Necrons move to deny them the crane and comms array. #xenosrampant

Slowly working through my test game of Xenos Rampant. The Night Lords' Rhino seizes an objective and draws first blood against a scarab swarm, but gets bogged down in the city center. The deathmarks move to engage the Traitor Guard on the claw's right flank.

Good morning from the haunted hills of the Finger Lakes region I'll be opening preorders for DRACULA CAR soon. Much like my HALLOWEEN TV SPECIAL series, this is a quick, atmospheric read perfect for gloomy evenings spent inside, read by the soft glow of decorative orange Halloween lights...

From the vaults: a piece of fanart titled "The Meat Cleaver" by chuckporn. The "cleaver" in question is a carcass splitter manufactured in the late 1800s.

From chuckporn: "This is a meat cleaver that I own. It is 36 inches long with a 15 inch blade, It weighs 10 lbs maybe more. It's called a carcass splitter and it was made in the late 1800s. It also has the number 13 stamped on the blade. Original wood. The corpse I bought in '97."

The Night Lords raid an isolated Imperial world for "recruits" just as a Necron tomb awakens to reclaim the surface. (I'm running a solo test game of Xenos Rampant before playing it with friends. I loved Dragon Rampant, and this ruleset seems right in line with that.)

SALEM'S LOT (1979) is such a warm and beautiful film. That it operates in a completely different tenor as TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE and yet presents many of the same critiques of America is a testament to Hooper's incredible skill as a director and as a director of actors. The cast is perfect.

I do find it darkly funny that the collapse of the US-Anglo imperial system is due entirely not to leftist movements but by reactionary forces strangling their own power structures because of a reflexive fear of Woke

Thinking that the #KillTeam 2018 rulebooks I picked up will make a good ruleset for #Inq28. My players will control the inquisitorial warband with some occasional space marine support while I referee and run the enemies and scenario. Could be a nice change of pace from symmetrical 1v1 games.

I was reading some Reddit threads and YouTube comments as to why people don't play this edition anymore. "balance" was an issue for them, how players just focused on spamming the "best" options so each Kill Team is the same. As a Mordheim player, my response and fix to that is: just don't do that.

I started my Halloween horror movie spree with HOKUM. Terrific atmosphere and spooky setpieces are par for the course at this point for this director. I prefer CAVEAT and ODDITY due to a few writing issues, but as far as I'm concerned, no one is doing ghost stories better than McCarthy.

I haven't seen any of the recent Evil Dead movies but good lord is he correct about modern movies looking like mud. I watch a lot of movies from the '90s on back and it's shocking how much some cheap slasher from 40 years ago can look drastically better than a prestige studio picture from the 2020s
