I've been obsessed with The Terminator this last few weeks and after consuming the movie and documentaries, as well as take stock of the number of times watched and the versions/formats I have it in, I've realised this: The Terminator is my second favourite movie of all time.

So, I'm thinking of making myself a Kyle Reese-style future war head gear, from the first Terminator movie. All I need is: - A grey Castro-style hat, like an army cap. - Some military ballistic goggles, like the ones you use for airsoft. - Shure SM10A for the headset. Boom.

To be clear - the image is a mock-up and may be very different from the final product.

It's decided- I'm going to be offering a POD version of Deep Space; the existing material in book form, with a new cover and new artwork and layout, and with extra material to flesh out the setting. The rules will still be light; that bit isn't changing! Potential Xmas release.

I've been looking into a print version of my Deep Space TTRPG and the thing that works against it is the sheer shortness of the game. The core book alone is only 4 pages. That makes me think about fleshing it out as a full roleplaying game, maybe shop it around. Is it worth it?

Annoyingly, I had to re-upload this Deep Space promo video after the link stopped working. I don't know what I did wrong, but this version is the final version for definite.

I was asked where my inspiration comes from regarding the Deep Space TTRPG. I was thinking of action science fiction movies and that kind of thing, but it's honestly Alistair MacClean novels and movies, and stuff from Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler. Take a thriller, slap it in space. Bingo.

The 'Deep Space' #ttrpg is on a break at the moment but I'm always thinking of what to do next.
I've designed it around a future Cold War, so I'm thinking of creating three more Nations and then starting a proxy war via a few smaller worlds on their borders.
Campaign material.

Just picked up 'By This Axe I hack!', a Conan-inspired game using the Black Hack. I've got Black Hack and Cthulhu Hack and I love the system, so this one is right up my alley. I've ordered a POD.

I just found my old copy of Star Trek Attack Wing and, for some reason, half the contents are missing. Still, I do still have these three awesome models to put on my nerd shelf.

I had a fantastic Conan purchasing kick last year - a stack of novels for 15 pounds and a whole load of original UK comics for 20 pounds. I love some Conan, and I really enjoy the directions other creators have taken the character and the world in.

It's nice to see that in the 25th century they're still concerned about health and safety, although technically they are blocking a fire exit.

Well, I only caught a sliver of it on Sunday morning but I'm going full-on watch the whole thing now. Goddam, Hawk the Slayer, I love you. I'm not even being ironic. This movie was part of my childhood because it was so accessible and easy play at - just go into the woods!

I love dark science fiction but I'm also a huge Star Trek fan, so I wrote COSMIC QUEST as a supplement for the 'Those Dark Places' #RPG. You can now use the rules for more adventurous games; but it's just a Trek #ttrpg with the serial numbers filed off!

The Gundam in Yokohama a couple of days ago. I was lucky and privileged to witness this beast a couple of weeks before they started to disassemble it. The cold rain couldn't dampen my spirits, not even in the gantry. You'll be missed, you magnificent bastard.
