I’ve been thinking for a long time about how to split up populations. There are many possibilities: race, class, faction, alignment, level, profession (distinctly different from faction), and so on. In D&D 3.x these appear to be handled pretty inconsistently. Analysis Before delving too deeply into solutions, let’s think a …
Lulu loves me! … or at least is willing to make out with my credit card from time to time. I just got a package in the mail today containing: NOD 1 NOD 2 Tales of the Grotesque and Dungeonesque Dark Dungeons … I could have sworn I also ordered Adventures …
Well, isn’t this interesting? A heavily-stylized Batman animation, set in 1930s Shanghai. I’d certainly give this show a chance.

Cool, Ryan Dancey’s still around. Here, he gives a talk highlighting the difference between ‘Theme Park’ and ‘Sandbox’ MMOs, namely that in a sandbox it is possible to change the world… and that makes a big, big difference. I found it very illuminating, especially the realization that if you give …
This link is thanks to Jonathan Roberts at Fantastic Maps. David Rumsey Historical Map Collection shows historical maps overlaid on Google Earth the locations they map. You can even reduce their opacity (via slider) so you can compare them, one on top of the other. Given today’s satellite and other remote …
Oh god, Reaper Miniatures and Kickstarter, why do you do this to me? Look what $100 gets you now! … if the image is missing, it’s because Reaper added more and changed the image, and the old one died. Go to the Kickstarter project to see the current set and I’ll update …
