A proud day for me as an author, my first boxed set! Now I can finally say that I've completed a series. I just need to work on completing all of my others now.

Camp Ghoul Mountain Part VI by Jonathan Raab review

    CAMP GHOUL MOUNTAIN PART VI by Jonathan Raab is pretty much a book made just me. It is a book that celebrates slasher movies, the creators of them, conspiracy theories, UFOs, black magic cults, behind-the-scenes books, and the goofy world of B-movie cinema. If it sounds like a lot, it is. It is also utterly fantastic once you get into the strange weird groove that Jonathan Raab generates as he tells the story of a fictional movie franchise, its production staff, and the bizarre events surrou...

An update on my housing situation:

9:00 am: I am summoned back to my house to hear that my plumbers need an additional day of work with the excavator to remove all of the broken piping underneath. This will double the costs.

11:00 am: They admit that they finally got contacted by the gas people that, thankfully, there is no gas main.

11:30 am: They find a gas main. Apparently it's not on the records.

1:30 pm: The dam...

Bathroom Hijinks

     While the rest of the world suffers much worse problems, I feel like I'll just share my home improvement ones. WARNING - this will contain gross subject matter, bodily waste, and grievous harm to a household.

    I was made aware of our problem when I went downstairs this Friday and found that our entire basement was flooded with blue fluid. There was also an odd smell to the place. That should have been my first clue our situation was utterly screwed. How...

Ten Tips for Running the Camarilla in V5

Hey folks,

    My Top Ten Lists for Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition have proven pretty popular and I thought I would do another list about the most popular faction in the game. The Camarilla has gone through some of the most dramatic changes since its inception while maintaining its fundamental core. They are the ivory tower elite, the rich, the powerful, and the eldest of the vampire race. They pull the strings from the shadows and jockey for position among themselves even when they should u...

Terminal Secrets (Cerberus #2) by Andy Peloquin review

    I was a big fan of CERBERUS: ASSASSINATION PROTOCOL when it came out a few months ago and pre-ordered the sequel after I finished it. It was a solid gritty space opera story about an assassin working for a corrupt government and it ended on a cliffhanger. Now the sequel has arrived on my Kindle and I swiftly read it through in a single day. I very much enjoyed it and while I have a few issues, I am all ready for the third book in the series.

    The premise is Nolan Garret is the assass...

Addendum: Ten Chronicles for Sabbat PCs in V5

Hey folks,

I really enjoyed everyone's feedback on my Top Ten Sabbat Tips for V5. It was really helpful and the response was genuinely positive. However, there was one negative reception and that came from the people who were die-hard Sabbat players and were hoping for something that would allow them to continue on with their Sword of Caine games.

This is difficult because of multiple reasons. While it would be possible to do Antitribu or Lasombra characters, there's still no official write-up...
