Warlords of the Apocalypse

I was just out and about doing my Sunday morning internet browsing and found this!

Can you believe all the P.A. RPG's out or coming out these days! WOW!

You can find more info about it here.

While I've found Pathfinder to be a bit rules heavy from my lazy er.. I mean busy DM perspective (though not as bad as 3.5), I've still gotta admit I am tempted by this. 

The blurb mentions,"Guidelines for bringing your existing Pathfinder characters into this setting, or creating native characters", Sounds pretty cool!  I remember the old conversion charts in my AD&D DMG for converting your D&D characters to Boot Hill and Gamma World. I've still got my pdf copy of Freeform Anthropomorphica  (which is currently not availble, pending a revision and legal use art) to make up some interesting mutant animals.

Hmmm...things to ponder.  : )

Simian Saturday Presents: Gygor; a He-Man "Classic" being made for the first time!

Cheap Terrain "Mat"

My wife "decided" that "we" needed to go to the fabric store today.  Gee...uh...yeah...err...ummm...ok...errr..  Anyways while she shopped I found myself wandering aimlessly, then I got an idea, actually my bud Eli had suggested it to me awhile ago, but I had forgotten.  You see I very much am into minis, I haven't posted much about minis in awhile, my camera is lousy on small pics and we just haven't gotten a new one. But for the past year and a half I have fully jumped on the 15mm Sci Fi minis bandwagon! My wife doesn't mind cause they are waay cheaper than 28mm and take up a fraction of the space. Anyways I've needed some kinda mat to game on for awhile now, my black tablecloth with dragons while cool for D&D type gaming just doesn't work for "serious" tabletop wargaming.  : )
 I have a green one I bought in the train section at the local Hobby Shop but the green stuff flakes off everywhere after just minimal play.  I've priced terrain mats on-line and they can be kinda pricey, Eli suggested I use fabric. I thought "cool".  Then promptly forgot about it, until today.  I immediately started searching and found...

Great thickness and a nice desert/dirt color...and as an added bonus it was in the cheapo remnant pile!
It was the perfect size for my table, without any cutting or measuring required!

Above and below are some of my painted up desert buildings I recently got from The Scene.

The light brown bikes are from RAFM's 15mm Sci Fi line. I believe they are now OOP.

Your probably thinking "eh no biggee", but I was happy to get this, it cost me just a few bucks, works fine for my  purposes and I got bonus points for going with my wife to the fabric store! 
I've ordered the AE-Bounty rules and my buddy Boomer has agreed to help me try them out!
More to come...

Pathfinder Gamemastery Guide

I picked this up awhile ago (my FLGS had it on sale!) and thanks to mandatory overtime I have really just now had time to sit down and read it.  This is a great resource for DM's of any system.  To be honest only a small portion of the book is mechanically specific to the Pathfinder RPG.  Most of the book is just great ideas and suggestions for DM's er I mean GM's...ok whatever title you use for the Referee of your games.  It has some great tricks and tips of the trade for DM's. Even an old grognard like me found some helpful ideas in there.  Several useful tables and things that I can use for whatever I am running; be it Pathfinder, Castles & Crusades, or Labyrinth Lord.
Good Gaming!  -B.
