Sadly, this is very true.

Yes! He actually lived on the jet (it was HUGE and had private living quarters built in). Also, of an interesting note, Bixby was a magician and performed most of the magic on the show himself. It was a tremendously fun series.

I've shared this on Facebook and talked about it on Bluesky. This disgusting attempt by Diamond to snatch unsold consignment inventory (especially when there supposedly exists an agreement preventing them from doing so) speaks to what kind of company they are. I hope that the court squashes...

Ghostwalk and a city-based campaign (e.g. Pelinore's City League, Iirilian, etc).

I love FAE, but I use a hack for fantasy games - I replace the default six approaches with the six D&D abilities (this is not my own innovation, but I forget where I read about it). Works like a charm! It immediately gets people who know D&D but have never played FATE before into the action quickly.

For years it was Risus (with The Isle of Dread, but set in the 1930s and repurposed as a "lost world" adventure) or The Window (the latter with the free setting, The Stage). These days, it's my own game, Front Range Minimalist.

Three way tie between Pertwee, Baker, and Davison for me. Those were really the three that I grew up watching and all of them have some VERY strong serials.

I'm looking at running RIFTS in the near future (yes, I'm a masochist), and have decided to start the campaign in either Lone Star or the New West, culminating in an incursion into the Vampire Kingdoms. I'm specifically running a very borrowed (i.e. stolen) adaptation of John Ford's The...

Right on! Star Wars D6 (both 1e and 2e) remains one of my all-time favorite RPGs. And I'm not even a huge Star Wars fan. The game just did so much right!

Moore. Mostly because that's the Bond I grew up watching with my dad. Dalton was also very good, though.

Hang on to that one for a bit. It's currently selling on eBay for high retail (based on actual sold listings, not asking prices). I imagine you'll be able to get much more for it a year or so down the road.
