Little Pink Dice

Little Pink Dice

Depending on whom you believe, between 70 and 90 percent of gamers are male. Although the number of women gamers has increased over the years, men are still the overwhelming majority, and there are many groups that have no women at all in them. While there are some male DMs who can do a good [...]

You Might be a GM If

You Might be a GM If

I thought I’d interject a little humor today, rather than my usual “preachiness”. You’ve heard of the “You Might Be a Gamer If”, well, here’s the next step: You might be a Game Master if… …you have ever randomly rolled more dice than necessary, then shaking your head, sympathetically, told the PCs that you needed [...]

Character Engineering

Character Engineering

My original plan for this article was a heated rant inspired by a player and a series of incidents in a game I am in. The problem with rants is that the only people who seem to catch the drift are the ones that aren’t doing the sort of thing that inspires a rant, so [...]

My Nephew & I last Halloween

Superman & Me: A New Beginning (Part 3 of 3)

Last time I shared that ever since I was 5 years old I had been captivated with Superman.  Through the years from cartoons to comics to movies and tv shows, The Man of Steel has been a big part of my ‘Wonder Years’.  (Oh yeah you remember that show come one…) Well 2006 rolled around [...]

Super 8 ~ A Geekcentric Review

Super 8 ~ A Geekcentric Review

I’m not sure exactly when I became the official movie reviewer here at Geekcentricity, but with a summer like this one, it’s easy to do. Snuggled right in between the titans of Marvel and DC, JJ Abrams comes out strong with a wonderful film about love, loss, and yearning that harkens back to the foul-mouthed [...]

I am not Daimos from the Officio Assassinorum

I am not Daimos from the Officio Assassinorum

If you’re playing someone else today, who’ll be playing you? I am often amazed at the number of people who create themselves as characters to play in various roleplaying games and genres. There’s nothing wrong with this, of course, but I have always tried to avoid this sort of thing myself – partly because I [...]

We All Want To Be Somebody

We All Want To Be Somebody

No one is exactly the same as anyone else. If I compare myself to everyone I know, I will not find any one single person with whom I am an exact match. No one has all of my ideals, my beliefs, my dreams, my habits, my likes, my dislikes. No one else has had exactly [...]
