Happy Birthday, Jim
I’ve seen Tom Smith’s shows. High-energy and a lot of fun. Now watch him reduce a room to silence and sniffles. Jim Henson would have been 76 today. Happy Birthday, Jim.

Death vs. It Gets Worse
In The Confession: I Am Not An Old-School DM, Erik talks about how certain old school expectations aren’t being met, in his mind. Key among them regards PC death. Old school play seems to imply that death is waiting at any moment, and keeping the PCs alive is the responsibility …
Kickass Kickstarter Projects
When I wrote Kickass Kickstarter Projects, Introduction the other day, I was thinking that I would have enough content for a series of articles. After outlining the material I realized that unless this one gets big enough to warrant splitting up, it could be entirely handled with a single post. Let’s see …
Kickass Kickstarter Projects, Introduction
Since November 2011, it has become apparent to me that I really like Kickstarter. My wallet doesn’t, but spreads for Kickstarter anyway. My wallet can be that way. Some projects have been really well handled, some stand room for improvement. I’ll be posting a few articles over the weekend that …
Vote Blood & Treasure!

Yay! OSR Stuff from Lulu
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 …
Link of Fame: Batman of Shanghai
Well, isn’t this interesting? A heavily-stylized Batman animation, set in 1930s Shanghai. I’d certainly give this show a chance.
Link of Fame: Fistful of Rupees
I… don’t think I can do justice to this in my description. If Hyrule were set in the Wild West, it may well look like this. Part 1: “The Wisdom” Part 2: “The Power” Part 3: “The Courage”
Kickstarter: Monster Tokens by Devin Night
I was really excited by the Reaper Miniatures Kickstarter. To be honest, I still am excited by it. I backed it for a while. Then I added up just how much I’ve backed and found I had over $500 backing for projects closing in the next month. I dropped it …
Theme Park vs. Sandbox MMOs
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 …
