Monday at the movies

And where will you find all of this...
Buddha's Drive-in of course.


Return to the Planet of the Apes and Hammer House of Horror are worth the visit all by themselves.

Today's guilty pleasure...Dancing Queen.

One of the Evil DM's Guilty pleasures is ABBA's  "Dancing Queen".  Every time I hear it I do a mind trip back to my preteen youth, and suddenly I'm in a skating rink. I wasn't as much an ABBA fan as I was an Agnetha fan.
Agnetha was my first celebrity crush.
What self respecting 11 year old boy wouldn't fall in love with this angelic face?

The other chick wasn't too bad either, but then I was only 11 and not  too  knowledgeable about the  possibilities, but come to think of it, they were Swedish...

DOG of W*A*R! It's out in hard copy... So buy it already.

DOGS OF W*A*R – The Real Man’s Role Playing Game!

Dogs of W*A*R allows you to create an experienced character ready to play in minutes and straightforward rules that don’t get in the way of role playing. DOGS OF W*A*R - All action…all danger…all guts!

Free paper miniatures!

It's been a while since I last posted about anything free. I found these paper miniatures the other day via the Barbarians of Lemuria message board. These are from an outfit called One Monk Miniatures. They look very cool, but to be honest I've been too busy to try them out. If any of you guys can come back with a short review I'm sure everyone would appreciate it. Until then, free is good and I for one appreciate the gesture.

I''m taking a couple of weeks off...

Hey guys,
I'll be taking a break from blogging and such, in order to finish up Hador and the BoL Pulp Expansion. I really can't get anything done between blogging and all the other internet crap that I do all day.  I'm not the most disciplined person at the best of times (though I do talk a good game to the Minions).
I've found I can easily piss away a morning with just RPGNet and my Google reader and get nothing of substance done.
Now, I love this blog and I'm appreciative of all the friends and contacts I have made because of it. I just need to really get these games out. Hador was supposed to be done last year. 
If this was my job I'd  have been fired and replaced by now.
So give me a few weeks and I'll be back. I hate to leave my 100+ followers but I gotta knock this stuff out. If you need a quick Evil DM fix of gratuitous girlie pics and geeky links just pick a random year and check out the archives, I'm sure you'll find something to bop your bippy.
Aloha for a few,
Jeff

Okay, one for the road...

Name the new pulp game contest.

My draft for BoL-Pulp was just given the "green light". Now I need to find a better name than "BoL-Pulp".

So help me find a name for BoL-Pulp and win a hard-copy of it when it comes out. Send me your entries. contest ends when I find a name I like.

Witness my frustration while trying out names...

Da-Da-Da!

Tonight we gamed!


Mike is running us through our first Pathfinder game "Howl of the Carrion King."
It's set in the Pathfinder game world in an area known as Katapesh.
We are starting at 1st level (as it should be).

I have a 1/2 Orc Druidess named Attia
My oldest Minion Anthony has a Human Monk/Sorcerer named Bob.
Wade has a Dwarven cleric named Gorgam "Gnoll-Bane"
Jason has a Wizard named Daler Mendhi
and Karl is playing a Genie (using Gnome stats) named Pasha Kassim Al Mozak – Grand Vizier of the Fire Sultan.

The way they play it is that Pasha serves house Mehndi in hopes of one day earning his "true lamp" to one day be a full-fledged Djinn. Yes, certain accommodations have been made to make this work with the Pathfinder rules. But it does work- Mostly because the guys playing Daler and Pasha are up to the challenge.

Imagine if you will a couple of gamers busting out in song to this little tune on cue.



Its funny as hell and thats why we game, right??

Got Pulp?

If any of you are interested in having a Pulp RPG adventure appear in print drop me a line. I'm wrapping up BoL Pulp and I could use a few more short adventures. I cant pay anything of course but you will get credit and a free hard-copy of the book.  If you are interested drop me a private message at the Evil DM Productions Forum and we will discuss it further. Thanks guys.

BoL/Pulp

Simon at BBG has the first draft of what I hope will be a set of rules to expand BoL into the realm of Pulp. I felt that by releasing The Lost World of Hador without a definitive set of BoL pulp rules would be like putting the cart before the horse. Once I get the rules into a shape thats ready for release I'll move to the next step which will be writing a few adventures and other setting flavored material (like finding a snappier title than BoL/Pulp).

Bittersweet Serenity

Every year I get my DVD collection of Firefly and Serenity and watch the whole saga. Today was that day. And as always it was a bittersweet experience for me. I love everything about this series from the haunting melody of the theme to the "Grrr, Arrgh" at the end. Its safe to say its my favorite TV show of all time. And as much as I enjoy watching it, I also get mad when I think of its too short life. When I think of all the crap that gets renewed season after season- ah there I go again. 


 I suppose all fans feel that way. I'm sure there are "Model Latina" fans out there campaigning for a new season who could care less for Captain Mal and his crew.
I can at least take comfort in the fact that I have the DVD set and the movie to console me (There are fans of the High Chaparral and Thundarr the Barbarian who don't even have that).

Funny!

Very Cool!

Have you guys seen this?

This was totally off my radar. Looks cool though. Once again I have no idea what the hell is being said but the pictures look cool. I'll leave it up y'all to research further. My Google-Fu is weak today.

Congratulations Saints!
Great game!

The qoute of the game was made by my 9 year old minion while watching Pete Townsend of the Who perform during the Halftime show-

"That old guy is a pretty good guitar player."
