Even more than categories, posts in a series are related to a single recurring topic.
Bruce Cordell asks at http://community.wizards.com/dndnext/blog/2012/01/18/holy_and_radiant if the ‘radiant’ and ‘holy’ damage types should (poll actually says ‘can’, but conversation at google+ says he really means ‘should’ if it makes more sense) exist in the same game. I didn’t take part in the poll because I think the poll is poorly …
I usually try to keep things polite here, but I am so stunned by this I have no better way to say it. Right now my brain is oscillating between ‘oh wow’ and ‘holy shit this is awesome’. It is still in trial, but they may have a way to …
This week’s Links of the Week post will be delayed for probably a couple of days. I’ve been revising my process for reading and have it better, but there was some necessary adjustment on the way, and I’ve got some network penetration testing labs to complete.
A few months ago I posted about a different model for hit points and healing, then followed up a few weeks ago with a post considering some of the implications of making those changes. One of the lingering thoughts I’ve had is that it comes close to modeling desired behavior …
This was brought to my attention via google+.
Rule of Cool‘s Legend core rulebook is now available for download. I expect it’ll go up on RPGNow, DriveThruRPG, or their own store soon.
However, until January 14 it is available from their site with a ‘pay-what-you-want’ basis… to Child’s Play.
For the last week or so I have been talking about fantastic locations. I have described one, I have discussed even more the resources I use when devising them. I thought it time to describe another one, and I realized that I didn’t feel like going back to revise an …
This video was just forwarded to me by a friend online and it really cheered a rough day.
Being muppets this was obviously staged rather than spontaneous, but it’s still silly enough to make me grin.
Thanks Chuck! It really helped today.
I think I might call this the Shatterworld Edition. It seems Niccodaemus has most of the links this week.
I’m reading all the carnival posts I find — all I’ve read so far look really good, thanks for taking part! — and have decided to round them up separately in a weekly post on Thursdays. Even though it excites me to see them, I’ll leave them out of my normal Links of the Week posts.
I have to say that I’m pretty pleased with the turnout so far.
I haven’t become aware of any really exciting (to me) projects this week. At least, that I can afford; the 3d printer project looks really cool but I can’t justify the expense.

I’m still hawking this one. It’s a little over a third of the way funded and there’s more than a month left, but I’d really like to see it succeed.

This one is funded and I just backed it myself. It’s cool enough I thought I’d remind people of it before the project closes January 15 since there is a stretch goal. Tim makes a more impressive case for giving Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers your cash at I’d Rather By Killing Monsters….
I’m trying a different way of laying out the links. Instead of just itemizing them as I have been, I’ll try to fold them into something that provides a little more context. I think this looks nicer, but I’m not yet convinced it is easier to use. I’ll try it …
I have found that generally the most memorable places in my campaigns have had fantastic elements. The more mundane places are useful. They provide framework and context to make the other places stand out — if everywhere were special it would be a funhouse and would not, to me, make …
