After many months of listening to the podcast Fear the Boot , I finally caved and had Jay over at Happy Harbor Comics  order me a copy of the Savage Worlds Explorer’s Edition (There’s a free Test Drive of the rules on the website). I don’t want to get into too much detail right now, but wow. I’m really excited to give this system a runthrough. I fully expect it to live up to the tagline “Fast, Furious and Fun”. The rules can be applied to pretty much any setting you’d like (and the community has already converted many popular settings), the Explorer’s Edition is a great value at $10.99. If you want to start playing in one of the really cool settings put out by Pinnacle, you’ll end up paying a pretty penny, but they all sound spectacular.
Onto some more pressing news! I’m going to be running Cold City again on May 3rd for a different group of individuals. I’m really excited about it, since I...

I’ve been buying alot of games recently, which is great, especially since I’ve actually started playing tabletop again. I’m really wondering why it took me so long to get back into it. My most recent purchase included Cold City , A|State , Don’t Rest Your Head , and Piledrivers and Powerbombs . I purchased everything from IPR , and I was quite impressed with the shipping time (from the time I clicked to the time I had the product wasn’t the best, but...

I’ve got a few administrative items to pass along this month that I’ll pass along before we get to the meat and potatoes. Firstly, I’m going to add something to the end of my columns - a few game recommendations. These titles are likely going to be games I’ve never played and have barely read through, but something about them caught my eye. I hope some of these turn out to be gems in your collection. The second item ...

So, the Save-On-Foods by my house has recently installed DIY checkouts . When I first encounted these devices in the States (because they get everything before us…), I was completely against the idea of paying someone for a service that required me to do most of the work. The more I think about it however, I’ve come to a different conclusion.
First, what on earth are these fantastical devices? Quite simply, it is an amazing piece of technology. When you scan you...

For Christmas I was given Mass Effect, a game I had decided to not buy for myself as it didn’t fit in the budget. The holiday release season can be killer. I finished it a few weeks ago and I was very happy with the game as a whole and I cannot wait for the next installment. In my playthrough, I decided to play as a Soldier, mostly because I wasn’t sure how the Biotic and Tech abilities would really play out. In my next play, I intend to play as an Infiltrator (I think&#...
