Update: already backed, 13,122/9,000. 127 backers and someone took the big one for $2,800. Oh Kickstarter, you get me in trouble sometimes. [Actually, that’s not quite true… yet. My wife hasn’t said a word about my little bad habit here, she even likes the PennyGems because they’re “shiny and sparkly”] I’ve wanted …
John Stater of The Land of Nod (I know the hostname is ‘matt-landofnod’, I don’t ask questions about these things) wrote a book. Possibly more than one, but it’s only one that I’m going to talk about today. Blood & Treasure Players Tome is pretty close to being what I …
My son checked the mail yesterday and brought me a small package from a little place called Lulu. My copy of John Stater’s Blood &Treasure was here! I read pretty much all of the character section, and skimmed the rest (spell descriptions no longer interest me the way they used to…) …
If there was an injury that would encourage me to get cybernetics, it would be the loss of eyesight. If I lost a hand or other extremity I would likely consider a prosthetic, but even the most advanced ones are pretty non-invasive. Replacing an eye would be very much more …

Let’s see if I can’t get this a little boost toward getting over the top. Blood Red Sands – Competitive Swords-and-Sorcery RPG is a little different from my normal thing — a competitive roleplaying game, where ultimately only one PC goes on to face the Witch King. This game has many trappings …
I’ve never been big on the Batman franchise. I’m more a Marvel fan than DC, and Batman is still fixed in my mind as being pretty camp. The recent series that just ended notwithstanding. This fan-made video, however, makes me want to rethink this. Full of betrayal and darkness, the …
I’ve been doing Links of the Week for about a year now (just over eleven months in fact; first in the category was September 1, 2011). They started as a way for me to keep track of nifty things I found and to share them. Eventually they became one of …
A Hall of Fame entry, a few blog posts, a few Kickstarters, some exciting medical science, and a commercial for something very shiny I couldn’t make proper use of even if I could afford it. Hall of Fame Tales of the Grotesque and Dungeonesque: Random Wizard’s Tower Generator Jack Shear …
