Welcome everyone to Saturday Night’s Main (Flashback) Event! I’m Carja McMahon along with Jesse “The Body” Ventura! Let’s go down to ringside!

It’s kinda funny that most of the babyfaces in this set were heels during a significant part of the time period I’m revisiting. The Undertaker is another good example. He was a monster heel that turned out to be too cool to be a bad guy and they had to turn him face. I can’t say I was his biggest fan, though I have a lot of respect for the work he’s put in over the years.

Here’s Cyran as the Undertaker. You know the hat was a significant problem but it turned out pretty decent. I toyed with the notion of putting Cyran on one knee, but that pose was all kinds of complicated so I settled on going simple.

Here’s a comparison to the original piece. I’ve discovered I don’t really like drawing trench coats. So I decided to go with just the basic wrestling gear in the new piece. I also forewent the stubble.

That’s all for this week. Come back next Saturday for more wrestling mayhem!

Roll the Bones!

Hello and how are ya, all you Top Men and Top Women out there? I’m doing fine and ready to post a short blog this week.

I finally got to break out my copy of Too Many Bones yesterday and it was pretty great. They call it a Dice-building RPG. Let me be clear, there is no roleplaying in this game. I think a more accurate description would be a Dice-building Adventure Game. Each player has a neoprene (think mousepad) character sheet with cut-outs to put the skill dice they earn and a reference sheet to help them figure out what all those dice do. Even though the core of the game is simple, there’s a lot of information to assimilate. We played the shortest adventure scenario and it still took us somewhere upwards of four hours to get through it. With repeated plays, I’d say the play time could easily be cut down to as much as half. Those other scenarios promise to be beasts. I look forward to getting to get it to the table again, which is the sign of a good game.

That about covers what I wanted to talk about this week (I told you this would be short). Have a good seven and we’ll do this all again next Monday. Carja V.

Saturday Night’s Main (Flashback) Event – Ultimate Warrior

One Saturday a month was a really cool weekend with Saturday Night’s Main Event to watch. Now they’re cool with flashbacks.

After Roddy Piper retired, I was in the market for a new favorite wrestler. That turned out to be the Ultimate Warrior. But I’m talking about early Warrior, before he became the world champion and got all weird. He was just this powerful mysterious dude with a lot of energy. He was cool up until he won his second Intercontinental championship. By that time, Piper was back and I’d had enough of the Warrior.

Here’s Sass as the Ultimate Warrior. I’m really, REALLY happy with how this piece turned out.

Here’s the comparison to the original piece. I decided to change the ring gear up this time around. The original piece was pretty good all things considered, but I’m just so much happier with the new one obviously.

That’s all for this week. See you next Saturday!
