Hi, I’m Andy, and I write pulpy adventure fiction, mostly sci-fi and fantasy. I was exposed to Middle Earth (the animated Hobbit TV movie), Conan (Marvel’s comics), Star Wars, and D&D all within a 3 year span in the late 70s, and I never recovered. I blame that for me becoming an author. #TBBChat

Today is the birthday of legendary comicbook illustrator Bernie Wrightson. Bernie was to comicbooks what Steven King is to horror novels. #dailynerdfix

The #ShogunWarriors was one of the greatest toy lines ever produced. Clocking in at 24” tall and armed to the teeth with all sorts of launching weapons a, these toys were just packed full of playability. They just don’t make toys like these anymore. #dailynerdfix #godzilla #mecha #giantrobots

The Hornetroid spacecraft, flown by the evil Antron aliens from the planet Thoraxid, would have been a cool looking #Micronauts toy if it were sold in a plain brown box. But Ken Kelly’s stunning box art took the cool factor to a whole new level! #dailynerdfix

My first five TTRPGs, in the order I played them: 1. Holmes D&D/AD&D 2. Traveller 3. Champions 4. Top Secret 5. Pendragon Theses are the games that I took to heart and played regularly. There are a bunch of others that I sampled but didn’t adopt as one of “my games”.

Robin Yount came out to the mound for the first pitch in Bob Uecker's jacket, took it off to reveal his Ueck jersey and took a moment to talk to Ueck's plaque on the building facade.

What’s the best session you’ve ever winged as a GM? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme #ttrpgcommunity #ttrpgsky I was running a GURPS Fantasy adventure at a con. The group was supposed to sign on as caravan guards and then save the day when bandits attacked.

The NPC guards handled the bandit attack offscreen, and the players had a blast faking their way through the trip as caterers. It was all very Marx Brothers, and it was all improv.

They all failed their combat skill rolls that were required to sign on as a guard. Every last one of them. But the barbarian PC managed to ace his cooking skill roll, and used his intimidation skill to get the entire party signed on as caterers.

I looked up the word “badass” in the dictionary today, and this was the illustration that accompanied the definition. #dailynerdfix #madmax

Happy 85th birthday to Wonder Woman (first appearance All-Star Comics #8 in 1941) #WonderWoman #85years Thanks to, Stephanie, at Dark Tower Comics for informing me!

On this day in 1989, Nine Inch Nails released its debut album, Pretty Hate Machine. It remains in my top five favorite albums of all time. NIN has released a lot of great albums since, but in my opinion, Pretty Hate Machine is still the best. #dailynerdfix #NIN #musicsky
