  2. Thanks for the comment & the shout out Trey! Request accepted!

    I listened to the Science Fantasy Round Table in between clients today. Thanks for the shout out. I've had some thoughts on the subject..
    1. I think that science fantasy isn't easily defined & the more that folks try the less easily it comes.
    2. Gonzo isn't a bad thing & the way that folks cross the line is flexible.This is as it should be in my opinion.
    3. I think that the DYI approach to OSR games or any games for that matter is the really the best way to go. Fun is really the
    I update this blog frequently because this is my online notebook/acid test. I think very quickly & so this has been my place where I write my thoughts, game play, & game related material. The readers don't see even half of what goes on because frankly lots of it is well crap. Working a full time job & doing this is interesting to say the least. I've got this Stars Without Numbers campaign coming up Thursday & I've done a sector of my own for the game. Right now I'm trying to balance the science fiction & science fantasy elements. There is wiggle room but its tight. In closing I think that the Science Fantasy Round Table was well done. However the harder you define the genre the more narrow the focus becomes. All in all it was very well done.

  3. The staff at Studio ARTMIC were serious tech designers. Just about every video they made has a classic like the Garland. I have some bandai "entertainment bibles" with their concept art (bit small to scan).

  4. Thanks for the comment Lee B!

    The staff at Studio ARTMIC were tech geniuses in the sense that it looked like everything would work if your sat in the cockpit(?) of their mechs! I've seen the "Entertainment Bibles" that Bandai put out years back.I've got a friend whose a serious animehead & has all of this stuff. So by proxy I've absorbed quite a bit of it. I'm finally starting to get a handle on where this new campaign will be going. There's more coming soon!
