    TTRPGs & D&D

    Literally me as well. With my work stuff I simply can't GM more than one game at a time (playing in multiple is easy), and I have two to three times as many people who would play if I said I was open than I can carry in a single group. I've got three or four people who basically ask every 3-4...

    1/12 Diorama/Terrain/Props/Vehicles

    Yeah, and then why bother? At that point it's more like the Black-hummingbird. The folks who say that I sort of shake my head because they just don't understand the scale. It won't be what they want. A Blackbird cockpit, that's doable. And I sort of wish Black Series would do that for the...

    1/12 Diorama/Terrain/Props/Vehicles

    Absolutely. Something bespoke like this is the only way, and it's a project you'd have to dedicate months to (and a lot of money in filament and printer time). Like, the Rattler is about as big as you can reasonably make a 1/12 scale aircraft before either it is too large to move or too...

    TTRPGs & D&D

    A couple of things are worth noting. D&D is the most popular system in the states, and despite what some folks say it *can be* cumbersome to learn on the first go around. That said, you can pick up the basics really fast so long as you're not playing a spellcaster, and almost any other game...

    Yeah I modulate quite a bit of my tone given I live in Texas. You just never know and I sure don't want to find out.

    TTRPGs & D&D

    Not weird at all. I had to do the same to Greg Pak. Was just like "man, I need a break from this every now and again and you're posting NON STOP". I should check to see if I can unmute him again but my guess, with current stuff, the answer will be an emphatic no. And like you say, it's not...

    TTRPGs & D&D

    Oh yeah that's good. There's a Delta Green adventure that Quinns Quest covered that does the whole "we were investigators on this one case, but we never solved it and then we come back 20 yrs later" setup and that also sounded really cool.

    Just a wild bit of custom kit here.

    TTRPGs & D&D

    That's a really fun idea. One thing I've always wanted to run is a game that spanned many years of in universe time. Decades if possible. Where we only check in with the heroes when the biggest things happen. Like, I want it to be reasonable to have a PC die in one session and then a session or...

    Marvel Legends Preorders - When and Where

    Managed to snag both while I was in the drive-thru getting breakfast this morning. Happy about the lower price, and assuming that means both will be shipping out soon given they're probably already in a warehouse somewhere. Very glad I got the Mystique. With that I think all my huge wants for ML...

    TTRPGs & D&D

    I also find it happens with folks who are on the "the DM never says no" train. So they'll be like "you can use any sourcebook, any character class, ay lineage" etc. They want everyone to have fun to the point that they put no guardrails on it at all. It's not a game-killer per se, but when it...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    Given how the series has worked so far I'd expect Payload or similar character first, and then the astronaut to follow.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    I I'd take an EMT as well. But yeah, astronaut would be appreciated.

    TTRPGs & D&D

    I'm gonna master so much arcane. You just wait. One thing I have done since college days, and didn't realize until much later how rare it is, is require a common element for all the player characters prior to character creation that ties them directly to the main plot. The element can be fairly...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    Glad I got one in just in case before they sold out. Still waiting for the Amazon one to go up since I have some amazon credit to burn. I'm debating if I *need* two cops. I only got one fire fighter. I'm am going to have to fight hard not to pick up the Ghost Viper. That guy looks so dang...

    Yep, he's the other, shittier reporter who is always cracking jokes at Jennifer Jason Leigh's character.

    Last Movie Watched

    This is a weird recommendation, but the Evil Dead 2 commentary track with Bruce, Sam, and I think one of the effects dudes (I'm ashamed I can't recall off the top of my head but it's been a long week) is real good. They're just taking the piss out of the movie the whole time, ragging on Bruce...

    Real big "I'm not over my ex" vibes that just never seem to go away.

    2025-2026 Rumor/Leak List - UPDATED List 9-9-25 (after the livestream)

    I just started doing this. I grabbed a bunch of the epic collections and am just starting at Giant Sized and moving until Claremont leaves. It's definitely a more wordy experience getting through the older stuff, but you can see Claremont's style start to refine almost immediately. I will say...

    I try not to read malice into people's actions (try being the operative word here), but that almost feels malicious.

    Characters that could easily be made, but haven't yet.

    Ok a couple I keep thinking about: Ikari from Wade's Daredevil Run. Basically a mix of the Hand body and some other parts already in rotation. You could do all new with that guy, and I'd love it, but if you want to do him cheap you can get close enough with parts we have. Also from Wade's run...

    Take leftover Zeroes and add more dots!

    General Marvel Legends

    I watched the EOV clip and it just had a vibe I didn't like. Like, dude knows he's being interviewed on hostile ground, and they know it's hostile ground, whether anyone wants to admit it. Felt tense. It stuns me constantly, but yeah, a lot of fans of... well many things, assume the faces they...

    Storm Collectibles

    Yeah, for me I'm only ever going to be picking and choosing. I'm not going to grab a full roster. For me this line is great because everyone in SF2 is in Alpha 3 iirc (and I mostly prefer their Alpha looks anyway).

    Storm Collectibles

    So, I don't know how the figures will age, but a lot of it is the plastic selection. The stuff that should be soft (gi, hair, upper torso under the gi) is soft, and gets out of the way. The plastic all has a matte or satin quality that sort of evokes the hand-drawn promo art. There's also just a...
