Villain A Day (Assembled): Count Malocchio
Well, no sooner do I announce I'm starting than I miss a day. So I suck...but I missed it to go gaming, which is really the reason we do all of this.
I warn you now that I'm not going to be posting on the weekend or on Monday, because it's a long weekend here in Ontario.
With that out of the way, let's get on to Count Malocchio.

Villain A Day (Assembled): Confederape
And we start with a character whom I dismissed as a joke or one-note character when I did the original Villain-A-Day...ConfederApe!
ConfederApe
The official bio says:
An accident in brainwave syncing led to an experimental ape absorbing the intellect of scientist Dwight Givens, along with Givens’s obsession with Civil War history and re-enactments ( Read more... ) -
Villain A Day (Assembled): The Introduction
No one asked for this-in fact, the response to the original Villain-A-Day was pretty much silence. But I'm going to do it again for ICONS: The Assembled Edition.
I think of the implied universe of ICONS: The Assembled Edition as the results of DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths, or Marvel's upcoming Secret Wars. Everything is re-set. Nothing is nailed ( Read more... ) -
Villain A Day (Assembled) delayed
I was going to start the revised Villain a Day thing today, but I have appointments on both Wednesday and Thursday, and my time is pretty much taken up in getting ready for those. So I will probably post the first one (who's who) on Friday, and on Monday get going with Confederape ( Read more... ) -
Gah--I want a word
Years ago I was flipping through a book, and I saw a line that said, essentially, a cartoon character whose head is its body is called... And now I can't remember the word, nor the book (or I would find it and look it up), and the keywords I'm using in Google don't seem to be correct ( Read more... ) -
Because no one asked for it!
I'll be doing a new Villain A Day for the new Assembled edition of ICONS. I have Steve Kenson's permission to quote the little character bios, but that's mostly to point up what we don't know in this universe-spanning reboot.
So stay tuned for that.
(And, yeah. Been busy with funerals. Multiple deceased people. Sorry.)

Superheroes and the plot grid
Tonight is the last session in the Steel City campaign (maybe for now; I'm enjoying it, and wouldn't mind if the players wanted to come back to it). But attendance is uncertain: we have a couple of players who almost always show up, and the rest are at varying degrees of "probably". Because, hey, life. We're all over 40; most of us are over 50 ( Read more... ) -
Had forgotten about that story...
Over a decade ago, when All Flesh Must Be Eaten first came out, I got quite into zombies. (My friends must be annoyed with my serial interests...or, as my son says, "This is why you have no friends.") Anyway, I wrote essentially a piece of George A. Romero fan fiction: my own zombie story ( Read more... ) -
Lost Voices: An anthology
Saw this notice today:
Lost Voices which is an anthology of semi-pro work (pay rate: $0.02/word) on the theme of lost voices.
My brain immediately went to some dark places on that, but part of it went over to this:
So what happened to Ursula's voice at the end of Disney's The Little Mermaid? She was using Ariel's voice (which reverted to Ariel ( Read more... ) -
An RPG Episode: The End of Thornbird
Because James wasn't there to provide a delightfully snarky writeup, here's a boring writeup that contains what happened last night as we motor to the end of the Mutants & Masterminds adventure.
