Slowly making my way through Flavel's The Mystery of Providence and Samuel Waldron's Modern Exposition of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith.

I'm generally fine with both, except when it comes to Bible study and then it's print all the way. My wife prefers I do my bedtime reading by ebook, so she can sleep with the lights out while I read...

Augustine - The City of God Frank Herbert - Dune Messiah

Agreed! On that topic, I love the discussion in Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter: SK, are you active at all on the Champions of Lemuria forum or the BoL Google+ group?

Yes, there are a few F/SF movies I regularly re-watch for no reason other than "I think this movie is awesome": Predator, Golden Voyage of Sinbad, Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter, Big Trouble in Little China, to name a few...

Yes, Jeff is working on an update of Dicey Tales. I think he's come around to the Mythic edition -- I assume the rules will reflect the new edition. Not sure how much new stuff will be in there vs. what has already been published in the previous 2 issues. Regardless, I'm looking forward to...

The Portent and Other Stories by George MacDonald Under Pressure by Carl Honore

So hard to choose just one... A few off the top of my head: Arturo Perez-Reverte -- Capitan Alatriste series (17th century Spain); especially The Sun over Breda and The King's Gold Bernard Cornwell -- Warlord Chronicles (post-Roman Arthurian Britain) Tim Willocks -- The Religion (1565 Siege of...

Great band! I was way into Tull back in college (early/mid-90s), I still dig them and give their records a spin every now and then. Thick as a Brick is easily my favorite album of theirs, closely followed by the Bursting Out live album.

Another longtime RPG player here, started in the mid-1980s with Basic D&D (Moldvay edition), then played AD&D and a bunch of other games. I don't get to play or run RPGs much these days, but I'm occasionally able to sneak in a session of OD&D (1974 "White Box" rules, my favorite iteration of...

I like Terraria, and am looking forward to Starbound. The "eat or die" survival aspect makes perfect sense, given that the game centers around exploring/colonizing/terraforming alien worlds.

Of the movies listed, I have to go with The Princess Bride because it's such a classic (and IMHO so much more than just a "fantasy movie.") Honorable mention to Krull, because it's also one of my favorite 1980s fantasy flicks. Bottom of the barrel is The Neverending Story -- I didn't really...

I was introduced to jazz in college. A sax-player friend recruited me for the junior college jazz band because they didn't have a drummer. They took me on and gracefully put up with my rock-ist tendencies and utter lack of jazz knowledge. From the big band I moved to playing drums and vibes...

I would love to play in a worship band that did more improvisation, as a musician I live for extended jams and free playing. At the same time I have to wonder if including extended improvs is contrary to the band's primary role -- to lead the congregation in worshipping God through song. As a...

Are you specifically looking for stuff with electric bass, not acoustic (upright)?

The so-called "Church of Optimus Prime" sounds like a prime example of Mockagodafarianism. Don't let it get to you, man.

Childhood favorites... Arcade: Elevator Action, Crystal Castles, Golden Axe Computer: Ultima IV, original Sid Meier's Pirates!, Lode Runner Tabletop RPG: AD&D, Top Secret, Star Frontiers, Gamma World Board games: Dungeon, Axis & Allies, Car Wars

Longtime fantasy reader here! Like Solomon Kane I'm mostly into sword & sorcery and sword & planet (science-fantasy) stuff, but occasionally I'll make forays into other subgenres. A few favorite authors: Tolkien, Robert E. Howard, Jack Vance, Leigh Brackett, Fritz Leiber, Clark Ashton Smith...
