Archiving this blog
Archiving this blog - https://madinkbeard.com/archives/archiving-this-blog After over 15 years of frequent and then hardly ever posting on this blog, I've decided to shut it down to start anew elsewhere. I'm not deleting the site, I will leave all the current posts up as archives and plan to maintain the urls so any existing links don't

Stars Without Number Session 2
Stars Without Number Session 2 - https://madinkbeard.com/archives/stars-without-number-session-2 In a rare occurrence, my group got together to play within a month of the previous session. Somehow scheduling a game between 6 adults (with no children even) is never as regular as we would hope. We picked up where last session ended (well after we had a reading of the

Stars Without Number Session 1 - https://madinkbeard.com/archives/stars-without-number-session-1 On Saturday, my gaming group started a new RPG campaign. I'm running Stars Without Number (revised edition) (SWN) (free version, deluxe paid/print version), Kevin Crawford's sci-fi game that is more or less based on old D&D. I've been wanting to run the game for a long time, and after we
Movies in May
Movies in May - https://madinkbeard.com/archives/movies-in-may I've been sick over the past two weekends, hence the no posting last week (I'm sure my miniscule audience really noticed amongst all the other things constantly bombarding us for attention). I can't remember ever being sick for so long in my life. The only bright spot was getting to
Witcher, Gundam, and Star Trek
Witcher, Gundam, and Star Trek - https://madinkbeard.com/archives/witcher-gundam-and-star-trek A little late on this post. I clearly spent too much time this weekend playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey and not enough time on this week's post or on my game prep. I spend a lot of time thinking about my game prep, but when sit down to actually do it,

Ozu, Sekiro, LeGuin - https://madinkbeard.com/archives/ozu-sekiro-leguin Late Autumn, Dir. Yasujiro Ozu (1960) and In Search of Ozu, Dir. Daniel Raim (2018) I suscribed to the new Criterion Channel (so maybe I'll be writing more about movies?), and my first watch was a documentary on Ozu, one of my favorite directors, and one of Ozu's later color films
April starts with Locas
April starts with Locas - https://madinkbeard.com/archives/april-starts-with-locas I'm still figuring out exactly what I'm doing here... 15 years of blogging and I still don't really feel like I know. I'm in progress on recreating the blog as a static site using Eleventy, so I can transition away from the extended bloat that is Wordpress (and now I'm remembering
Slow week, not much reading
Slow week, not much reading - https://madinkbeard.com/archives/slow-week-not-much-reading The foxes that visit my backyard finally returned this week. The other morning I could see two of them playing behind my the fence at the back of my yard. I'd see them race from left to right, out of site, then from right to left. This morning when I

Spring is here reading - https://madinkbeard.com/archives/spring-is-here-reading Spring has finally arrived. The other morning I saw a woodpecker pecking a metal chimney cap. It sounded like a tinny snare drum roll. The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie (Orbit, 2019) Leckie's Imperial Radch trilogy is a really excellent science fiction trilogy that I read a year or so ago, and

Rambling from February - https://madinkbeard.com/archives/rambling-from-february I'm still trying to get back into this blog, thinking about things to write a lot and then not actually writing them. So here is me rambling on about a few things I've been reading/watching. Conan the Barbarian: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus v.1 by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith (and
