The Ectozone: The Ghostbusters Universe At Your Fingertips

GenCon 2019 has come and gone. So how did it go?

Pikachu was there.

And the Skittermanders.

On the other hand, I almost lost Ogre to a trash compactor.

My friends at Pointy Hat Games were there with Brimley again. Hey...wait a sec...what's that I see behind him?

You'll be glad to know I've given one of those little guys a good home.

So what else did I get from GenCon?

The usual commemorative dice, and some Meeples. Galactic Toys, who usually carries buttloads of Gundam models, wasn't there this year, but another booth sold me this GM from The 8th MS Team, which have some of my favorite variant designs of the Gundam and GM. So it was all good.

Gale Force Nine first released this game in 2017, I believe, which is why Peter Capaldi is at the center of the packaging. The base set includes minis of him, William Hartnell, Matt Smith, and TOM FUCKING BAKER, so yeah, they hooked Ogre and I. It was his call to get the Patrick Troughdon and Colin Baker expansion; sets with Sylvester McCoy and Christopher Eccleston, and Peter Davison and his son-in-law David Tennant were also available. I imagine sets with Jon Pertwee, Paul McGann, John Hurt, and Jodi Whittaker will make it out eventually.

Yeah...for the first time in my life, I'm actually on the bleeding edge of a new RPG edition--I stood in line and got Pathfinder Second Edition on the first day of release, August 1st. I didn't really get into the first edition, but over the last year Paizo's Starfinder intrigued me, so I'm gonna give this a try. 13th Age Glorantha, you probably remember, was something I thought was going to be out last year but wasn't.

Only 352 days until I can go again!!!

Oh yeah...before GenCon I got this finished:

Tales From The Ectozone: Coda And Terchi
March 21, 1998--Timeline Year Sixteen
After five and a half years of tension between them, it seems that something is about to change for Coda Monkeyfang and Terchi Bagwise. But will it be for good or ill?

This follows up on Tales From the Ectozone: Kyrie Was Here and immediately follows the events of Extreme Ghostbusters: Coda and Terchi's Extreme Adventure, and brings the story of breakout supporting characters (well, at least one of my readers is enthused about them anyway) Coda Monkeyfang and Terchi Bagwise to a resolution, of sorts.

After that, some stories with actual Ghostbusters characters in them, I promise.

Thanks for reading!
