Tabletop roleplaying games, as well as LARPs are exercises in social contracts. Whenever a group of people sit down to play they all have to agree on the system, the arbitration of said system and on hundreds of unspoken rules.

Top Ten Time Travel Movies

Stephen Schleicher — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 18:25:48 +0000

There are certainly some days I wouldn’t mind going back and getting a do-over. This then leads to the conversation about changing the past, and thus altering the course of future events. It gets pretty trippy when you end up stepping on a bug and killing your future self, but it’s a risk [...]

From the Vault: Captain America (1979)

Sam Dunham — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:25:36 +0000

Ahh, the ’70s. A time of Afros, bell-bottoms, and oddly enough, in the case of CBS television, attempts at superhero TV shows. Today, the most well-know of these shows are Wonder Woman starring Lynda Carter, The Amazing Spider-Man with Nicholas Hammond, and of course The Incredible Hulk starring Bill Bixby and (the eternal con-man) Lou [...]

Dueling Review: Green Hornet: Year One #1

Robot Overlord — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 03:48:08 +0000

Retro Review: Action Comics #370 (December 1968)

Matthew Peterson — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 02:25:43 +0000

Or – “What Happens In The Alternate Universe, STAYS In The Alternate Universe…” As comics readers, I think we tend to think of the retcon as a modern invention, something that Roy Thomas or Steve Englehart created to offset the changing tastes of comics readers who weren’t gonna stand for all them talkin’ tigers and cartoon sidekicks with [...]
