Flu is No Fun

I have been  consistently failing my Fortitude saves against a nasty case of the flu this week. I will hopefully have some new articles before the week is over, but these will most likely be premades set on an autotimer.

Lost Tapes-Cave Demons and Death Raptor

Oh yeah, here we go, this is the big one!
Part 1-Cave Demons
The show starts out talking about winged humanoids in Vietnam..then suddenly switches to the Tora Bora caves. Oh no, they can’t really be doing this..can they? Oh yes they can. First, there are “letters from home” of a woman and her baby talking to [...]

Lost Tapes-Swamp Creature and Monster of Monterery

We have some episodes I didn’t review put together in one set before the new one comes on, so I guess I’ll review them separately.
Part 1-Swamp Creature
Half man, half reptile, all BS…the Honey Island Swamp Monster is reportedly Bigfoot-like, so we’re already on a shaky foot making a sensational comment like that based on the [...]

These are some d20 Modern books that I have wanted to review, but are either too small or too limited in scope to have a full review on. Hence why I decided “hey, why not just review them in a set?” And so the Quickies was born!

Lost Tapes Episode 5-Devil Dragon and Bigfoot

Some may ask “Why, Rappy, why do you subject yourself to more of this?” Well…in all honesty, it’s sort of a sadistic streak that I have towards bad movies. I was an early watcher of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and that love has evolved into watching stuff like Nostalgia Critic or Atop the Fourth Wall [...]

Top 10 Favorite d20 Modern Supplements

This is my personal list of the d20 Modern sourcebooks that I have loved and utilized. This is NOT based on the “on a scale of 10″ scoring; these are simply ones I really like, based on what they have done in my personal opinion, not their perfection rating. Chances are you won’t have the [...]

RPG Review: d20 Dark*Matter

Released on September 1, 2006, d20 Dark*Matter was the last official Wizards of the Coast sourcebook for d20 Modern ever printed.
