The Fleet Grows with X-Wing Miniatures Expansions Wave 3!

Fantasy Flight Games has announced their next wave of expansions for X-Wing Miniatures and it’s four brand new ships to the game. The TIE Bomber and B-Wing were expected and the Imperial Shuttle was a definite maybe, but the HWK-290 was a little unexpected. These expansion ships are due the “3rd Quarter of 2013″, [...]

A Kickstarter Worth Supporting: A Filmed Adaptation of Chick Tract’s Dungeons & Dragons Comic

We at The Robot’s Pajamas love reviewing Chick Tracts. They’re crazy. The all-time favorite is probably Dark Dungeons, which we reviewed here. What could be better than our snarky commentary? How about someone creating it as a short film and playing it completely serious? That’s what filmmaker JD Rawls wants to do [...]

Friday Round Up: Star Wars, Robotech, Alien, and Bravestarr!

Movie Stuff

Patton Oswalt: Patton Oswalt went on an unscripted rant about what the next Star Wars film should be on Parks and Rec and the internet lost it’s shit. It was amusing to some extent, but I feel like there was huge over reaction on this one. It’s like I’m the [...]

Toy Aisle Terrors (Featuring GI Joe)

We’ve all seen them. The toys in the aisle that make you roll your eyes or shake your head. The toys that are obviously shoddy work or don’t fit with the theme well or are just bad ideas. I’ve decided to walk down the aisles of Targets and Walmarts and snap photos of the [...]

Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Intellivision Style

Advanced Dungeons and Dragons on the Intellivision held some mystic for me when I was a kid. First of all when I was little Dungeons and Dragons had a weird aura of danger and mystery surrounding it thanks to all the weirdos who thought it could lead you into Satanism.

Game Report: Settling Catan

Settlers of Catan is an odd duck in that it’s a more hardcore board game from Germany that has somehow made some inroads with those who aren’t into the world of niche boardgames. Lots of people love Settlers, yet somehow I hadn’t played it until recently.

The friends I was hanging out with [...]

Friday Round Up: Yeah It’s Friday

Why this image? Because boobs.

Media Stuff:

Star Wars: Star Wars may or may not have a director in the form of J.J. Abrams. So far no real confirmation, but the internet went crazy like it was true. I don’t get why people wait a little bit instead of acting like every rumor is [...]

Ghostbusters: The Role Playing Game

When one thinks of role playing games, the first thing you probably think of is Dungeons and Dragons if you’re a non-geek. These days there’s still a few role playing games around, but not like it was back in the day. Back in the 80s and into the 90s there was a wide variety [...]

Game Review: X-Wing Miniatures Game

I’m not a hardcore gamer, even though I enjoy a broad spectrum of board games. That’s why I was completely taken by suprise by X-Wing Miniatures Game when I first laid eyes on it at a local comic / game store (Lost World of Wonders holla! If you’re in Milwaukee, check them out). My [...]

ZOMBIES!!! A Game Review

By Peter Kuebeck

I’m an avid tabletop gamer, which means that Dungeons & Dragons and various board games tend to feed my gaming cravings over, say, hours of letting my hands go numb while playing my PS3. Rolling the dice, for me, is the way to go – I love the element of chance.
