After looking at two artists I discovered in the early 90s—between what I had termed the Early-Years and the Middle-Years—let’s travel back to the Proto-History. Let’s look at the art that inspired me...
Chris Achilleos is another artist I discovered while working at Metro Comics. Two years before Mike Ploog’s trading card collection, which I mentioned in my previous post, the same company, FPG, published the...
My recent deep dives into comics led me to explore other fantasy and sword-and-sorcery books I’d either missed or forgotten about over the years. That winding path eventually led me to Weirdworld, a...
When I recently shared that image of classic DC Comics sword-and-sorcery characters as great TTRPG inspiration on my Facebook Page (see the featured image above!), I honestly didn’t expect to fall down such...
For someone who posts primarily about tabletop role-playing games, I certainly have been talking a lot about comics lately. Indulge me again, because this one is directly related to the hobby. Today, I...
Back in July 2010, I wrote a post right here on Stargazer’s World about how comic books were a parallel passion of mine and how deeply they influenced my role-playing games. As I’ve...
As part of the excitement for the upcoming Puerto Rico Comic Con, which I posted about yesterday, and all the gaming goodness that is happening there, I learned of a project for a...
There’s going to be a massive tabletop presence at the Puerto Rico Comic Con (PRCC) this year, happening from April 3rd to the 5th at the Puerto Rico Convention Center. It figures this...
We’re here, on the final installment of the retrospective of my past 40 years as a gamer. It will not be the last post on the topic, mind you; this is just the...
It may surprise you, or perhaps horrify you, that I am a massive fan of musical theater. I grew up listening to musicals with my uncle Chechin (his real name is José Agustín,...
Welcome back to Part 2. In the previous post, I focused on how my life as a gamer blossomed over this decade, expanding from TTRPGs being a hobby I enjoyed with my close...
As I’ve been looking back at my last 40 years in the tabletop hobby, especially the transition from playing at home to getting involved in the wider community, this just wouldn’t have happened...
By 2007, I had been playing at Sammy’s house for about two years. We were deep into my second D&D 3.5 run, having just wrapped a Tri-Stat dX sci-fi game—set in the same...
After publishing my last post, I spent some time thinking about my statement that I was “gaming in a bubble.” After some reflection—and a few conversations with friends—I realized some nuance is in...
Welcome back to my 40-year retrospective as a gamer. If the early years were defined by beautiful chaos, 1993 was the pivot. At that time, my gaming schedule was highly irregular. We’d get...
A new Stars Without Number (SWN) supplement dropped five days ago, and I missed it! How could I? It’s not like any important event happened this past weekend around February 14th, or that...
Welcome back to my 40 Years a Gamer retrospective. In the last post, I looked at the first game I played. But today, I want to talk about the early years of playing...
I just saw that Far West Redux is live on BackerKit, and it hit me with a wave of nostalgia. I was a backer of the original Kickstarter way back in 2011. If you know...
I’ve been interested in the history of tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) in Puerto Rico for a long time. Back in 2017, I started an initiative to track down exactly how Dungeons & Dragons...
Nostalgia. We’ve been riding that wave for a while now. While I have certainly been guilty of buying into it, there is an argument to be made that if we are always revisiting...
