There are always plenty of great cosplayers at Comic Con, but some of the most fun are those highlighting Rule 63 (that for every pop culture character, there is another version of the opposite gender). This year was no exception and some of the best costumes at the entire convention were those featuring a gender […]
Will Stephen Byrne’s animated Firefly ever air?
This trailer for The Animated Adventures of Firefly will make you wish you could watch it now. We don’t know when it’s coming. We’re teased: soon. What will Fox do? Will they hold back the lawyers? Will they cancel another Firefly show to protect their IP? You’d like to think the cast and crew would […]
Firefly Valentine’s Day cards
We’re keeping up with our week of James Stowe appreciation. The freelance illustrator draws nifty, geeky, Valentine’s Day designs for his kids, shares them with and makes them available to buy at the Sidekick Quests store. In 2014 James gave us Firefly Valentine’s Day cards to feel nostalgic over. I’m not entirely sure this batch […]
Everything’s Shiny: A Review of Things Don’t Go Smooth
The Firefly RPG made quite a splash when it dropped earlier this year. The game, powered by the latest iteration of the wildly popular Cortex Plus system, was custom-built for the kind of wild action and over-the-top heroics that were the hallmarks of the TV show. I’m happy to report that the game’s first major sourcebook, Things Don’t Go […]
Sneak look at the Firefly FFO and trailer
This trailer crashed the developer’s server and got them in trouble with their ISP. That’s the sign of a popular first teaser. The trailer is called “If I were a Captain” You need Unity Web (free) to access the site but you can pop over to keepflying.com and contribute to the “nice to have” traffic […]

Big Damn Shiny Heroes: A Review of Firefly Friends in Low Places
Firefly came and went like its insect namesake, but the series endures through a wide fan-base, comics, and various games. Rightly so, because in my opinion Firefly was a damned fine series that warrants the adoration it receives. Margaret Weis Productions has taken a stab at the ‘Verse before, presenting a Cortex-powered game based on […]
Common space myths – how many did you know?
Everything you thought you knew about space is wrong? This isn’t an attack on sci-fi movies – this is just a geeky reminder of how things work. You knew most of this stuff, if not all of it, despite what the pitch of the video is. It’s still fun to recap and remind ourselves. Here’s […]
Valentine’s Day is Malentine’s Day for Browncoats
These fan-tastic Firefly inspired Valentine’s Day cards are the work of the rather talented Chelsea Davison. She’s an actress, a comedian, singer, artist and also a browncoat. You see, for browncoats Valentine’s Day is Malentine’s Day.
MWP’s Monica Valentinelli addresses Firefly RPG questions
Geek Native’s already dug into the differences between the Firefly RPG and the Serentiy RPG. We get it; different companies issue the rights. It also seems clear why so many fans don’t get it or don’t care to get it. We’re talking the same mythos. We’re talking versions of Cortex. I suspect this will be […]
