Time for a Reboot

This blog needs a reboot.  I've decided to just write about whatever I am currently "into".  This could be books, TV shows, movies etc.  I grew up on a steady diet of the following things in no particular order:
Star Wars, Dungeons and Dragons, Star Blazers, J.R.R. Tolkien, Choose Your Own Adventure books, Heavy Metal music, Joel Rosenberg's Guardians of the Flame series, Lawrence Watt-Evans Ethshar series, He-Man, Conan the Barbarian, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, Watchman, Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, Indiana Jones series, Star Trek:TNG, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

There are plenty more but I think you get the idea.  I was and continue to be a nerd of the highest degree. 

These are some of the many things I will write about on this blog.  Enjoy!

Gygax Quiz


Patrick DeLise took the http://blogofholding.com/">Hardest Gary Gygax Quiz in the World and got 60%!


You are a Gary Gygax Myrmidon. You are mighty in the ways of Gary Gygax. You're probably a First Edition or OD&D player, and I wouldn't be surprised if you had an original copy of the Chainmail rules.

Paladin Code: You completed this quiz without using Google.

Role Playing Games: My Childhood Love

I have always loved role playing games. When I was a youngster in the early 80s, I played tons of Dungeons & Dragons (both Basic set and Advanced). The artwork was so evocative and I loved all the old TSR artists. There seems to be a huge resurgence of old school Dungeons and Dragons and its ilk. My favourite gaming blogs are currently Grognardia and LoFP.

What are some of your favorite old school games and gaming sites?
