Links of the Week: September 5, 2011

This week’s interesting links. Age of Ravens Kingdom of Staircases: A Microscope AP (http://ageofravens.blogspot.com/2011/08/kingdom-of-staircases-microscope-ap.html) Ever since GreyKnight turned me on to Microscope (from Lame Mage Productions) I’ve loved the idea of it.  It’s a collaborative history-building and world-building ‘game’ where the players design a world by assertion.  Play bounces around …
