Hey all! It’s Tuesday, and last week I ran my first ever Icons game with my in-person friends that pop by most Tuesdays (we’ll continue, and likely finish, the adventure tonight). I picked up “The RetConQuest” specifically because (a) it was written by the game designer, and (b) it’s designed to be an “introduction to the game” … Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday — Icons Superpowered Roleplaying (Part Three—First Session)
STA Saturday — “Space Seed”
Every Saturday, I’ve been sitting down and re-watching TOS-era episodes of Star Trek with the goal of finding ideas—what I’m calling scenario seeds—for Star Trek Adventures as put out by Modiphius (with the hope they’ll be useful for games or Captain’s Log for other GMs out there). I’ve actually lost access to Trek—the "joy" of streaming services—but I’m going … Continue reading STA Saturday — “Space Seed”
Tabletop Tuesday — Icons Superpowered Roleplaying (Part Two—The Basics)
Hey all! It’s Tuesday, and tonight I’m going to be running my first ever Icons game with my in-person friends that pop by most Tuesdays (it’s not just alliteration that led me to picking Tuesday to chat about nerdy gaming things).

Netflix here in Canada has officially dropped Star Trek so… … Continue reading STA Saturday — “The Return of the Archons”
Tabletop Tuesday — Icons Superpowered Roleplaying (Part One—Creating Your Hero)
Hey all! It’s Tuesday, which means talking nerdy games, and as I mentioned last week, I made a list of ten TTRPGs I’m hoping to delve into this year—and hopefully play or run—and alongside my copy of Blue Rose showing up, I cracked my .pdf of Icons Superpowered Roleplaying (the Assembled Edition) over the holidays, … Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday — Icons Superpowered Roleplaying (Part One—Creating Your Hero)
STA Saturday — “Court Martial”
Happy New Year! It's Saturday, has meant for quite a few weeks now me sitting down and re-watching the TOS-era episodes of Star Trek with the goal of finding ideas—what I’m calling scenario seeds—for Star Trek Adventures as put out by Modiphius (with the hope they’ll be useful for games or Captain’s Log for other GMs … Continue reading STA Saturday — “Court Martial”
