Today we are going to be talking and sharing my experience with Star Trek Adventures the Startrek Rpg by Modiphius Entertainment. Allowing you to live out many long times fans dreams of taking part in the voyages of StarFleet officer. The game it self is based on its own 2D20 system that allows players to easily acquire dice and ease into gameplay. The Rules them self's are very open ended and instead of a traditional D20 system of rules like D&D this games plays and feels to a very narrative and cinematic game play that puts you really into the heart of shows. The rules them selfs also don't have alot of precision and with the rules you can play into any of the Time line eras, as a example you can play as a crew member as part of the Original series era and can easily swap out and play The Next Generation Era. This fluidity in rules allows anyone new to playing role pl...

Hey everyone just some fun items to check out that I have been personally watching on Crunchy Roll's Fall Simcast. Released every week this is some of the fun anime that I think is worth checking out this Fall and should hold you over to the winter. So this one that is abit different from the rest on this list but one I think worth checking out. Following the story of a NEET who drops out of the real world and work shes goes on to new adventures of a MMO. This is a romantic comedy and though its not my usual cup of a tea I think this is worth checking out with the traditional oblivious characters. I think its worth checking it out if your looking for something not grim dark and want a little slice of life gold. Juni Taisen: Zodiac war is abit more of what I traditional watch and one for those that are looking for something that tries to be abit more serious but nothing to crazy. This is a anime based on the traditional Zodiac but with the characters taking on som...

Today is a very special day since forge world is giving a sneak peak at some of the future charcters they are doing and also showing of a expansion of material they showed off in previous games day. Today is awesome since we get a sneak peak at  Carab Culln a forgeworld charcter that has appeared in muiltple campaigns material and has been one of the chief heroes of them. The fact forgeworld is releasing a new take on this character is very interesting.  As you can see Carab Culln is no longer in his terminator armor and has been interned into a Leviathan Dreadnought. This ancient piece of wargear has been modified with the inclusion of dual assault cannon which is a interesting choice. I think we might be seeing more of this chapter and forge world items with the look rumored Imperial Armor campaign book as well as the recent release of tau should give any one playing 40k and 8th edition a bigger boost.  You can check out the full sneak ...
