Ok, a friend just pointed me at the trailer for Wanted: http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809878244/video/4771511/standardformat/ It looks pretty. It looks fun. It isn’t the comic book. Instead of a kabal of evil supervillians who have killed off all the heroes and divvied up the world between five gangs, they’re a group of assassins who kill select people to… Read More Wanted: The Movie
Seriously, I did not set out to surround myself with nasty, sarcastic… Oh, who the hell am I kidding? I totally did. My buddy Mukdaddy made me this because he loves me so:
Okay, it looks like the review is going to turn into a three-parter, mostly because it is absolutely impossible to create characters for seven people, using only two books, with a wholly unknown gaming system in anything even approximating a reasonable amount of time. Last Thursday Loree from the Girl Game came over and we sat… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #26 – Unhallowed Metropolis Part II
A friend of mine made this for me: I have the most awesome friends in the whole world.
Here’s the thing. If the plot calls for her to get beat up, sure, no problem. No one I’ve been reading has a problem with that.

I decided to do this as a quickie before I do the second part of the Unhallowed Metropolis review, as the Girl Game will be playing it this Friday. I’m hoping that the one member of the game is going to show tonight for board game night, and that I can commandeer her to make her… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #25 – Will the Watchmen make a good movie?
You know how in the column on “Playing the Opposite Gender,” I went on and on about how you shouldn’t play your characters as if they were cartoons?
