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 …
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 …

So, Monte Cook is doing this thing. Numenera: A new roleplaying game from Monte Cook I don’t know how much I really need to say about it. If you’re reading this blog you likely know who Monte is, and you also likely know his penchant for quality in his work …
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 …
