Chaosium has in recent months issued 2 new books for the Call of Cthulhu RPG, the sourcebook Cults of Cthulhu and the full length campaign A Time to Harvest. A Time to Harvest came at a great time, as I am currently wrapping up a Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign with my group, and trying to…
Blu-ray Review – Death Game – Grindhouse Releasing
Peter S. Traynor’s Death Game is a film I have been hearing about for years (yes, before Eli Roth remade it as Knock, Knock in 2015). The film is a sleazy exploitation fueled romp that stars Seymour Cassel as George, a wealthy businessman who finds himself alone on his 40th birthday after his wife gets…
Blu-ray Review – Mother of the Goddess Dormitory – Sentai Filmworks
Mother of the Goddess Dormitory is RIDICULOUS! I mean this in the best way possible, of course. So the series follows Koushi, who is down on his luck middle schooler who is having a hell of a year. Koushi’s house burns down, his parents disown him, and for all practical purposes he is homeless (IS…
Tabletop Review – D&D – Spelljammer – Adventures in Space – Wizards of the Coast
I have been waiting for Wizards of the Coast to bring Spelljammer back to D&D since I got back into D&D. When I was younger I would pretty much grab any AD&D book I thought would fit into my campaign and looked cool, and I remember one week my FLGS had a bunch of older…
UHD Review – Dog Soldiers – Scream Factory
Dog Soldiers is one of the finest werewolf films of the 21st Century, and to be honest could easily squeeze into the pantheon of all time genre best as far as werewolf films are concerned. The werewolf as a cinematic monster is so drastically under utilized unlike it’s cinematic counterparts zombies and vampires, that when…
UHD Review – Cat People – Scream Factory
It will seem that in the last decade we have been in the midst of a remake/reboot trend that simply will not stop. The remakes of our current period are less from visionary directors with a new angle of an established classic, and more about using the title of an established classic as a profit…
Blu-ray Review RahXephon – Complete Collection – Sentai Filmworks
When I first started hearing about RahXephon in the early 2000’s it was unfavorable comparisons to Neon Genesis Evangelion. Every review or blurb I read was simply about how the show was a knock off of the mid-90’s mega-hit, which has for decades been my favorite anime series of all-time. For some reason this made…
Tabletop Review – WFRP (4E) – Enemy Within (Enemy In Shadows, Death on the Reik, Horned Rat, + Companions)
When list of greatest RPG campaigns are made (and playing them long enough you see these lists OFTEN) a certain few will almost always make the list. Year in, year out, Call of Cthulhu’s Masks of Nyarlathotep and Horror on the Orient Express always seem to garner placement on these list as does Pendragon’s The…
Blu-ray Review – Tsukipro – The Animation
So again this is a series I feel like it needs a primer. Tsukipro – The Animation is part of a multimedia franchise that goes back to 2012. This is a franchise that started with Tsukiuta, and involves a series of Japanese pop groups in various forms including dramas, super groups, etc. This is not…
Blu-ray Review – Iroduku – The World in Colors – Sentai Filmworks
Iroduku – The World in Colors, I will be up front this series destroyed me by the end (no spoilers). The series has a simple premise. The year is 2078, and Hitomi lives in a magical world, but she can only experience it in monochrome. This dreary existence is bringing her down everyday. Hitomi’s grandmother…
