The long road home. Hobbies, books and assorted minutiae of my life. Saturday, 18 June 2011. Gamma World: Drowned World. You're not in Kansas anymore. Spying another dome, they are assaulted by a group of Clickys. Mutant cockroaches and they quickly rip through them. Returning through the dark portal, they find themselves on a beach near a beached tug boat. Heading south, they meet up with Zig and Zag, handing the Clicky over to him and continue to bike to Seaport. Labels: At the gaming table. Anderson, ...

The long road home: Chronica feudalis
http://magus-thelongroadhome.blogspot.com/2011/09/chronica-feudalis.html
The long road home. Hobbies, books and assorted minutiae of my life. Friday, 2 September 2011. Character creation starts with selecting three mentors who 'train' you in certain skills and give you equipment that adds to your die pool. Then aspects and backgrounds and the character is pretty much ready to play. The background idea here seemed a little odd - these are parts of your character that you are very good at but do not want to see in the story, e.g. you want to be known as a. If you get past the t...

The long road home. Hobbies, books and assorted minutiae of my life. Friday, 12 August 2011. Gamma World: Metro 2033. Appear out of nowhere. Battling away, the two predators soon become prey for the party as they make safe the camp site. Throwing Claw through the portal to remove him from the fight, War leads the group back through the tunnels. Beneath the factory, the group leave the nuclear bomb, its light glowing ominously in the dark, with War and Tabbatha carrying the remote switches. Campbell, Jack...

The long road home. Hobbies, books and assorted minutiae of my life. Saturday, 26 March 2011. Gamma World: Oryx and Crake. The Lord of the Flies. The Town out of Time. A tall white tree in the centre of the town. Hurling exploding seeds and thrashing branches it stalked the scattered characters around the village, sending Tabbatha flying, being bashed by Rocky and finally engulfed in the flames of Zeek it was reduced to charcoal. Chikkinobbs - the new way to eat chicken! Bursting through the double doors...

The long road home. Hobbies, books and assorted minutiae of my life. Sunday, 23 January 2011. An incredible film with an amazing performance by Natalie Portman yet not a comfortable film to watch. Labels: At the movies. Saturday, 22 January 2011. Just caught up with what turned out to be a very well done film. Based on the idea of the lost Ninth legion, the story is fast paced and gripping, with the added bonus of it actually being set and filmed in Scotland! Labels: On the box. Wednesday, 19 January 2011.

The long road home. Hobbies, books and assorted minutiae of my life. Tuesday, 1 June 2010. The demise of Flashforward. Why do the series I like never seem to last? With the end of Flashforward and Firefly after one season, the fact that Dollhouse struggled, and Space Above and Beyond never survived the first season are all great disappointments.
