Matthew Rossi @MatthewWRossi — Matthew Rossi is a synapsid, perhaps descended from Cynognathus. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and grew up there before leaving to see the world and be mistaken for a sasquatch and/or minor singing celebrity in various locales. He currently lives and writes in Edmonton alongside his amazing and beautiful wife and their cats. He’s written three collections of speculative fiction, Things That Never Were, Bottled Demon and At Last, Atlantis. He loves playing warriors in World of Warcraft, barbarians in Diablo III, and he’s beginning to notice a pattern here.

Nostalgia, man. It’s a heck of a drug.

It’s the Queue. You can’t go back again, but you can pretend really hard.

Liz is covering my Queue next week so I can get my eye injections, so here I am, doing hers. Remember to ask those Hearthstone questions next Tuesday!

The Queue: The Goggles, they do something

by Matthew Rossi on March 31, 2021 at 12:00pm @MatthewWRossi

Honestly, it’s really freaking bright in the Badlands around Night City and there’s a lot of sandstorms, I feel like goggles would be very practical there.

I’m afraid the entirety of yesterday’s Queue is going to be about a boat, but maybe I’ll get luck and there will be some questions.

What’s a ‘D&D movie’ and how can it help you set up and run a campaign?

by Matthew Rossi on March 29, 2021 at 2:00pm @MatthewWRossi
