Those of you (like us) who just can’t leave “Firefly” behind are in for a treat. Two new graphic novel projects are going to hit stores this year.
The biggest of them, story-wise, is a hardcover graphic novel that’s been in the works for three years. “The Shepherd’s Tale” will delve into Book’s mysterious backstory, and will be in stores in November. Although his checkered past was often dangled in front of us during the series and movie’s run, this will be the first time we’ve been presented with a canon telling of how a preacher came to know so much about guns.
A few hints about Book’s past were ..read more
As you know, I use a lot of technology in running my RPG campaigns. A laptop, intensely organized music playlists, projector-based maps and layered Photoshop files have become as important to me as dice and beer at the game table.
But I’ve never really had much success at remoting people in for gaming. Back in the late 90s, some friends and I decided that we could keep up our college RPG campaign via remote. We spent hours on WebRPG, a tabletop simulator that allowed you to “code” objects and build character sheets.
We spent forever getting the materials ready, but never even got to a full game. It was too ..read more

When the Serenity RPG came out a few years ago, I eagerly snapped it up and it became my re-entry into the world of pen-and-paper RPGs. I figured it’d be a short-run thing, and maybe — maybe — spawn a sourcebook. But, to Margaret Weis Productions’ credit, the system is still running strong; it boasts half a dozen sourcebooks and a thriving fan community. Some people have maligned the system’s lack of hard-core rules, but I can appreciate it for its fast-paced gameplay and character-driven drama.
Because I like to support the company’s future endeavors, I try to pick up whatever they kick out that takes place in the Firefly ‘verse. ..read more
Just got back in tonight (well it was last night before I passed out and finished this morning). From where you ask? Well judging by the glitter in my hair some may claim the strip club down the street from the offices. But that was not it. That glitter came from a sailor hat some sailor chick lent me.
No, tonight was Salt Lake City’s Can’t Stop the Serenity event. Four hours of Whedony fun, Browncoats, raffles, auctions, food, beer and the Big Damn Movie itself, Serenity.
And as the movie made its way to the inevitable end, I sat there listening to my fellow Browncoats around me, cheer, jeer and sob ..read more
I love it when geeks take matters into their own hands and then share with their fellow geeks via the internets. The combined geeks at pinkraygun.com have done just that by sharing their geeky pumpkin carving templates. Here’s a few of my ..read more
In case you missed Castle last night, like me, the full episode is on Hulu. I haven’t watched the full episode yet, but fortunately, we get to see Nathan Fillion try out his Mal costume at the very beginning of the episode. This scene takes place before the one that I posted a clip of last week. The musical cues are great. ..read more
Yep, that is right. I think this will bring me to my sixth viewing of Joss Whedon’s continuation of Firefly, Serenity, on the big screen.
Tonight after some very serious dinner, meaning brats and beer, it was decided by those at the table that it was a moral imperative that we must attend the Salt Lake City Can’t Stop the Serenity event. An event that happens on an annual basis to raise awareness for Equality Now, a charity near and dear to Whedon’s heart.
But it also means I get to see all my big damn heroes in action again…when I am not watching them on DVD.
Last year I dressed up ..read more
Here’s a promo for next week’s episode of “Castle” starring Nathan Fillion. He makes Firefly, Buffy and Underworld references in this one clip. Bless you, Mr. Fillion. If only everyone could be as awesome as you. “Castle” airs Monday night at 10 PM ET/PT on ..read more
The Firefly/Serenity universe is one of the best out-of-the-box settings for a role playing game that ever existed: A group of people on the raggedy edge, trying to scrape out a living in a postwar setting that blends the best elements of the Wild West and dystopian future.
As you know, I’m a big fan. (I started www.fireflyrpg.com a few years ago, and have a Mark II version that’s currently being refreshed with new content at test.fireflyrpg.com .) So, when Twitter friend and Geek6 reader @benhamill mentioned that he might — might — be running a Serenity-style game in the near future, I couldn’t pass ..read more
