Dragon Reactor: Embers, Ashes, Moments and Stars A mythopoetic mech TTRPG about war, tragedy, and what you do with the power to change the world.

Dragon Reactor is a love letter to the mech & mecha genres, a game that's in deep conversation not only with the shows and stories that inspired it, but with the video and tabletop games that came before.

It's personal, it's intense, and it's beautiful.
Help us bring it to life!

This Week in Anime - In Defense of Carl Macek's Robotech

Coop and Steve discuss Carl Macek's contributions to anime as Western fans know it.

I'm just throwing this out there.

I have a heavily-researched book in the works, and I had to dedicate a full chapter to Robotech, because it's an important work. Fan club memberships spiked in its wake and it dominated early RAA.

You can hate it, but without it, we'd have no fandom as we know it.

Here we go. Someone cloned my voice and made it open source for anyone to make it say anything. How incredibly violating. I’ve contacted them about this and now we wait….

A illustration of Hyrule from the original Legend of Zelda. It's stylized, the sky has bands of red-black clouds and sky, almost like a sunset. There's very pointy mountains in the background, then rounded mountains, then jungle and beaches, with a lot of lakes, and it's shaped like a peninsula surrounded by ocean.

I always loved this landscape of Hyrule from the original Legend of Zelda, but it always had Link over it. Nintendo finally released a cropped version on the Game Watch website so we made it happen: Combined 3 pieces to get as full of an image as possible
