UnReview: Suicide Squad
A desperate plea to all screenwriters. Please stop trying to destroy the Earth. Or, if you’re gonna do it, have some guts and actually do it. I have a notion for a Star Trek campaign for my friends. They’re Federation cops on the fringe of Federation space handling smugglers, renegade Klingon captains and other miscreants. Their ship…

BATMAN v (supersomeguymaybe) PLUS WONDER OMG WOMAN
Before I begin, I feel the need to reintroduce my concept of an “unreview.” I write reviews using e-prime, a linguistical tool that excludes all uses of the verb “to be.” In other words, I can’t say “the movie is bad” or “the plot is confusing” or anything like that.

The Best Adventure of All Times
(Be sure to read the counterpoint piece: The Worst Adventure of All Times) When I do game design seminars—where I actually take time to listen to you talk about your game, give you advice, challenge your assumptions, etc.—there’s one question I ask that usually knocks people off their feet. “Can characters die in your…

The Worst Adventure of All Times
(Be sure to read the counterpart piece: The Best Adventure of All Times) This, right here, is a symbol. A personal symbol of mine. It represents all the wrong, backward thinking that people have about being a GM. I first encountered it in the early ’80’s when I was a player and not a GM.…

Chino Bandito
I’m here at this wonderful dive called Chino Bandito. It’s a combination Mexican/Chinese restaurant. Yeah, I know that sound completely insane, but it’s also fuckin’ delicious! My meal (pictured below) is the highly spicy pulled chicken and another chicken I can’t remember right now. The black beans have a hint of mint and the rice…
