The following is a 1970s set of protective items for the Swedish police, the helmet is... interesting. It would be a strange sight coming straight at the PCs through smoke or tear gas clouds. However I think the "tactical sandals" would have to be replaced with boots to really make the eff...

I see the scriptwriter for Goodbye Pork Pie also wrote Sleeping Dogs! As for those early works of Peter Jackson, I knew there were such things but I hadn't seen them. Coincidentally enough, I found a copy of Valley of the Stereos online and gave it a watch. With the humour and also the props used, I...

It's quite interesting to learn that because here in Australia we don't often hear much about how Australian movies do overseas unless they're big productions or they have big name stars or directors etc. etc. So it is a bit of a surprise to hear that the BBC did a run on Aussie movies, particularly...

I really should not be surprised that you're aware of The Cars That Ate Paris. Ever since I've know you, you've been aware of various Aussie movies that aren't well known around the world!

You know, I am not at all surprised. Movie distribution in Australia is bizarre sometimes. For example, The Cars That Ate Paris is considered an important Australian movie for a few reasons but one is that it had an influence in creating the Mad Max movie. Is it readily available in Australia? Absol...

Obviously I don't ned to tell those here assembled that 1992's "Split Second" is pretty much first edition Dark Conspiracy in movie form. Well, just found out today that someone has finally put together a luxury edition BluRay version with tons of extras - it must be mine! 😎 https://www.h...

And you know Murphy's Rules right... Just after I finished typing out my reply above, I tried multi-player for GenZero again and got into a game with someone from Queensland withing five minutes. Played the session for about three hours or more before I lost connection to her game. So, to somewhat m...

I'm really enjoying it, more so than I expected. Even playing it for a few hours for the last four days straight has not diminished the appeal (or the thrill of being pursued through the forest by Hunter robots or the fear of being trapped in a house with a Harvester and a Tank stomping around outsi...

And another bump... I've recently been playing Generation Zero , a game set in Sweden during the 1980s where you take on the role of a young survivor of a robot apocalypse. This is the blurb from the Steam page: - Welcome to 1980’s Sweden. The local population has gone missing, and machines of unkno...

Interesting stuff, I don't think anyone has done any sort of military cadet academy type career before so it's good to have some more options available for those who want to start before adulthood.

Speaking of disappointing shows, has anyone seen the US 2010 TV drama series titled The Event , if so I'm interested in your take on the show? I binged watched it and finished it last night. I think the show had a lot of potential but that potential was lost due to some pretty average script-writing...

NOTE: See EDIT below for update. If you have access to Twitch, here follows an "interesting" interview about the current thoughts about rules mechanics for Free League's Twilight: 2000. I am very curious about the material they want to produce but the more I hear about the rules the more c...

He had been really hyped for it and was pitching an Alien game to the group. Then he got the book, read it, and decided to run Call of Cthulhu instead. He could always get the Cthulhu Rising monograph and have the best of both worlds. The CoC rules modifications in that are a bit shaky at times (I ...

...then he got the book, read it, and decided to run Call of Cthulhu instead. Ouch! And keep in mind, he was so hyped for running games based on the Alien/Aliens world that after finding the Leading Edge Games rules to be needlessly & stupidly complex, he practically rewrote the rules from anot...

Mate of mine is a mad Alien fanboy, he's owned the first RPG for Alien since it was published (the Aliens Adventure Game published by Leading Edge Games) and naturally enough bought the second version, the Alien, the Roleplaying Game , from Free League. He phoned me one day several months ago to tel...
