15 Games That Inspired Me

Following in the internet meme, here are 15 RPGs that inspired me, in no particular order...

1. Dungeons & Dragons (the introduction to fantasy rpg for me)

2. Lords of Creation (The rock on which my love of the weird in RPGs was made)

3. Marvel Super Heroes (the first RPG I ran)

4. Over the Edge (The closest RPGs will ever come to the Twilight Zone)

5. Champions 4th Editon (One of the best superhero continuities in RPGs)

6. GURPS 3rd Edition (Great source material and my first amateur RPG work)

7. Call of Cthulhu (I love reading the monster, gods, and spell sections)

8. Risus (the best free RPG ever)

9. Heroes Unlimited (can't stand the system but I love the Source material)

10. Bureau 13: Stalking the Night Fantastic (more source material I love)

11. Nightlife (horror role playing with a worldwide mythology)

12. Cartoon Action Hour (cause that was MY idea, dammit! ;)

13. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Cause I love BtVS and Angel and Unisystem rocks)

14. All Flesh Must Be Eaten (Zombies, zombies, zombies!)

15. Toon (An underappreciated game of cartoon humor)

I got more, but they said 15.

B-Movie Monday

Not alot of time today, so here's some DVD artwork that is really cool.

I adore this artwork for Zombie.

German poster for Night of the Seagulls.

The West German title for Lamberto Bava's Demons/Demoni (1985).

See ya next week!

B-Movie Monday: The Blogger With Four Lions presents Giallo Trailers!

Here's a couple of trailers of the Giallo persuasion. These bizarre murder mysteries are beloved the world over for their murderous set pieces, bizarre plots, outrageous clues and strange characters. A good overview of the Giallo genre can be found at the Giallo Fever blog!













See you next week!

Fight On! #10 is Out

Fight On! #10 is available for release at Lulu in both Print and PDF editions! I've recommended Fight On! in the past but this issue is special. Why, you may ask? Because one of the tables I wrote on this very blog is in this issue! Tom Moldvay is celebrated in this issue, and my table is a tribute to the mad genius that he introduced me too. Check issue 10 out!

Fan Film Trailers

In a way, fan films are close cousins of RPGs. It's just another way to tell some stories you've always wanted to tell with your favorite characters.

RIP Ruth "Grandma Angel" David (1920-2010)

My paternal grandmother died last night at the age of 90. Complications from her falling and breaking her hip led to her passing. She was the person who introduced me to horror movies and encouraged my writing (even if she didn't understand it). In the last two years we would watch horror movies like Zombie, Evil Dead II, and more afterI got done with work. Without her and my aunt I probably would have never gotten into fantasy, sci-fi and horror. Without her and my family I would never have even had the thought of the Amazing RPG Fun Pad.

B-Movie Monday will return in 2 weeks, and more stuff will be popping up here soon. Grandma Angel would not want me to dwell on what happened. She would want me to live.

B-Movie Monday: Indiana Jones "Tributes"

Like most blockbuster hits, Raiders of the Lost Ark inspired some great rip--I mean tribute movies. The return of B-Movie Monday brings trailers for some of the more fun pulp films that spawned from Indy.
















Enjoy your Monday!
