Well, this year did start quite strange, after a few days at home, I’ve spent the first day at work, was fully engaged and felt fit – just to spend the 5th at home with an upset stomach after a rough night. That said, with the three plush-cuddle-roughnecks everyday is a real pleasure. seeing them…

Magic the Gathering: Commander, Lords of Waterdeep & Forbidden Stars
Endlich sind wir mal wieder dazugekommen – ein paar Partien Magic im Commander Modus zu spielen. Früher war das halt doch alles etwas einfacher mit dem “treff ma uns” – jeder hatte 5-10 Decks dabei und wir haben so manchen Nachmittag unsicher gemacht. Nachdem ich mich nie der Competitiven Szene bei Magic sehr zugehörig gefüht…
Felis – erste Eindrücke
Spielbericht Lineup: Spielleiterin: Callisto Spieler: Dolge (Mistviech) Ayou (Lordi) Taleria (Sari) TheLemming (Vidar) Die Testrunde von Felis begann etwas zögerlich – aus meiner Perspektive gleich doppelt, erstes Rollenspiel via Teamspeak und dazu mit „lauter Unbekannten“. Nachdem die Runde im Vorfeld schon angekündigt war, ist die schnelle „Generierung“ gänzlich ohne Charakterwerte abseits der obligaten Körper/Seele Balance…
Tron Legacy 3D
Zur Info – dieses Review ist mitunter ein Spoiler und bezieht sich auf meine persönliche Meinung zu Tron Legacy. Gestern war’s also soweit, nachdem ich eine geschätzte Woche meines Lebens damit verbracht habe, Tron zu sehen. (Vorzugsweise bei meinem Vater alle paar Wochen als ich jünger war. Neben Star Wars und Asterix war es für…
Dark Heresy – playtest review
Warhammer 40k, maybe you can describe the setting itself best with one word, as the ultimate Dystopia. 41st millenium and humankind had gained a lot in technology over the time but even more have they forgotten. If you’re not familiar with the setting, I’m sure you find 1001 pages like the wh and wh40k lexicanum….
Quickreview: Dr. Parnassus
The Imaginations of Doctor Parnassus, maybe to be subtitled with “in memorial Heath Ledger” was yesterday’s pre-premiere at our local cinema and I was curious. I started headfirst into the movie, only having a (very) rough idea of what this all was about, feeling quite comfortable with the german translation of the title which hinted…
Rashemen and Beyond (Session 7 / Session 2 with a Lemming as DM)
Another week was over and finally we met again to continue where we last stopped. After our last session, we ended right in front of an iron golem, Enelya (the as stubborn as impatient barbarian woman) applied the Oil of War to the huge construct who slowly rose to even larger size and asked in…
Descent Boardgame
My RPG group managed to surprise me on my birthday party with a special present – the Descent boardgame and the first expansion pack to it. After a hell of an exploration day, when we visited 3 wellness SPA’s (first one was crowded³ with 50 ppl in line and approximately 3 hours of waiting; the…
Dante 01 and Babel (2 movie reviews)
First it started not too bad, when a friend of mine proposed the Midnight Movie at the UCI-Kinowelt in Vienna. Even the description of Dante01, did not read that bad. But in the end – it was not the best science-fiction movie out there… Dante Everything starts quite promising. We’ve the genuine theme of human…
Annihilation – War of the Spider Queen Book 5
Hey finally I’ve found my old book digestion speed again ;). In other words – I’ve quickly used the drive I got from Lisa’s Extinction to dive deeply into Annihilation by Philip Athans. And it worked. It worked well. In this book you’ll have the expedition to the Abyss on the edge of destruction and…
