Why I still miss Veronica Mars

Oh Veronica Mars what a supernova you were. Here one year and gone the next.

I am sure you all know how much I lament the loss of Firefly after a short one season. But not too far below Firefly sits that sassy, sparkplug of a teenage detective Veronica Mars.

Granted the final third season was a bit stilted as it tried to keep ahead of the cancellation axe, but those first two season were dark, engaging and full of twists and turns we never saw coming.

Every once in a while I tend to rewatch television. Some good, some bad, some I don’t want anyone to know I actually watch. I have ..read more

Geek6 casts The Avengers…Joss style

Now that the dust has settled from the news going around that Joss Whedon is set to direct Marvel’s The Avengers, and that it is quite possible he will pulling rewrite duties on the movie and on the upcoming Captain America movie, let the speculation begin.

What speculation is that?

Why who would be the perfect Whedonverse people to cast of course. Now being honest with myself I think it is foregone conclusion that most casting here will be decided by the studio, not Joss himself. Heck I think most of the lead players in this game already have signed on the dotted line.

But in the end, Joss loves using his mates ..read more

Action figures they haven’t made yet but should

It seems like every character has an action figure these days, but there’s a few that I would snatch up in a second if only someone would make them. Preferably I would like these to be well sculpted 6″ figures from a company like Diamond Select, NECA or Mezco (and not some crappy 3 1/2″ version from Hasbro), but since no one has done them yet, I’ll just have to dream till ..read more

More Firefly inbound: Finally, an answer to Book’s backstory

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

Telepresence around the game table

Josh
Monday
3:38 pm

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

Review: The Serenity Big Damn Heroes Handbook

Monday
11:02 am

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

Pick6: Why I love Serenity

Jason
Friday
11:04 am

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
