Flames Rising - Weird War II Review

Savage Worlds and Pinnacle's Weird War II setting go together like zombies and headshots. I like this book's take on the game better, since it seems less like Deadlands: WWII edition.

AV Club - Local Election Specials.

Tomorrow is Election Day in WI. Voting is important no matter what side of the isle. But more important are the freebies that "I voted" sticker unlocks. I can't decide if I'm prouder of my adult film adaptation of Ayn Rand's most popular work or the line "Pizza is as American as apple pie." America.

Hillfolk - Encore

In addition to Mafia Century, I have another setting pitch as part of the newly-christened Pitch of the Month club. Encore is a musical drama best described as Glee: The Reality. It centers around a jukebox musical touring around the country. The leads are the dreamers, has-beens and never-will-bes. It's drawn from my experiences as a theater kid in high school and college as well as the experiences of my friends who continued on and tried to make it as performers. I am most excited about the ideas I have for using actual music in the game. but they've got to get $90,000 to get there. Ten bucks gets you two PDFs full of nearly 60 additional settings plus advice from one of the best living game designers out there.

It's a mad rush to the end.
