Below are my personal favorite tracks from each of her albums, with Got To Fly hitting a special nerve as it’s songs are inspired by two of my favorite shows Firefly and Battlestar Galactica!

Here is a live performance of the punk song “We’re Out For Blood” she wrote for the movie Zombie Cheerleading Camp

Information on The Last Zombie:

“Follow the frantic journey of a man seeking his one ray of hope in a post-apocalyptic nightmare United States. The zombies have come and (mostly) gone, but the disease is still out there, threatening the survivors. The country swarms with roving packs of wild animals—and worse, desperate humans—ready to do whatever it takes to survive. Through it all, one man must drive from Colorado to New York to reunite with the woman he loves…before it’s too late for either of them!”

The Last  Zombie will be a 5 part series.

Information on Punisher #75 and Shadow Season:

“Special double-sized 75th issue!  Several years ago, under a cloudless day in New York’s Central Park, Frank Castle’s family was slaughtered in a mob crossfire.  On that day, the man known as Frank Castle died and in his place was born the Punisher, a relentless engine of vengeance.  Five stories take an unflinching look at what really happened that day, providing a penetrating look into the mass of hard muscle that once was Frank Castle’s heart.  You won’t look at the Punisher the same way again.  Featuring Charlie Huston and Ken Lashley’s “Smallest Bit of This”…Peter Milligan and Tomm Coker’s “Father’s Day”…“Gregg Hurwitz and Das Pastoras’ “Gateway”…Thomas Piccirilli and Laurence Cambpell’s “Dolls”…and “TBD”

“In Piccirilli’s brooding, character-driven chiller, former New York City cop Finn, recently blinded, wallows in his new role as an English teacher at a posh girls’ boarding school. A storm looms as Finn and a skeleton staff remain to supervise a handful of girls staying at the school during winter break. Piccirilli (The Fever Kill) harps on his theme of isolation with palpable glee as Finn, surrounded by self-absorbed adolescents and mysterious, brutally violent attackers roaming the campus, grapples with blindness amid a sonar-dulling snowstorm in a remote area with no cellphone service. Terrified of solitude and driven by his cop instincts, Finn embarks on a wrenching journey that exposes the raw emotion of a man nearly destroyed by disability and circumstance.”

Here’s a little info:

Insanity is very much a beer and pretzel game – it’s not to be taken seriously. Players play normal folk who are a little edgy. Then, something over the course of the session pushes them over the edge and they go on a murderous rampage we refer to as Frenzy. Combat is simple and fast. And this is one RPG you can actually win; last player standing wins (basically leveling up).

Insanity is an exercise in adaptive thinking:  when a character Frenzies, they enter a dissociative fugue state, thinking they are someone else and that the entire world around them now fits that paradigm. For example, one frenzied character may believe they are He-Man, and that they have to find Kringer and defeat the evil hordes of Skeleton, another character may enter frenzy a few rounds later and think they are a Spartan super soldier from Halo and that they need 25 kills to win the match. It becomes quite humorous watching how these delusions are role-played out.

Drew and Eric are both planning on running a few sessions and will have pre-made characters available.  Sounds like an interesting concept.  Come check it out!

Here’s a little info about the game:

Conquest of Arthenia is a new medieval trading card game, unique in the elegant simplicity of its rules and the endless complexity of the strategy required to play. Unlike most card games, play occurs in a

number of regions, from players’ locations to a central battlefield (see diagram). Players must choose how to best use their units: will they defend their encampment to avoid being forced into surrender, or

will they protect their other locations to maintain the income necessary to deploy units, cast spells, and equip mercenaries? Will they venture into the battlefield to muster their own brave offensive against the enemy?

In Conquest, players select three of eight alignments, which consist of four elements (Fire, Water, Earth, and Air) and four ideologies (Order, Chaos, Natural, and Industrial). (To learn more about the alignments, go to www.conquestofarthenia.com/arthenia.) Each alignment has its own strengths and weaknesses, and each interacts with the others in unique ways. Players also choose which types of mercenaries to use. While Warriors utilize swordsmanship and brute strength, other mercenaries use tricks and talents. Craftsmen provide support and efficiency with their skills, wizards alter reality with their spells, and archers avoid being counterattacked by sniping units with their arrows. Additionally, these mercenaries can be equipped with various weapons, armors, shields, helmets, and accessories, and some have the ability to ride steeds, beasts, or even dragons.

Conquest is much more fast-paced than other games–players draw at least 2 cards from their decks each turn, which can easily become 3, 4, or 5 depending on their resources. Players can also barter one card from their hands each turn to draw an additional one. These innovations help players avoid the lack of control and feeling of helplessness that come with unlucky draws. This makes for an intense

struggle that is not for the weak-hearted or simple-minded. It takes courage, persistence, and cunning to prove your worth.

We’ll see you on the battlefield.

Hope to see you there!
