Video: Moon Trance – Lindsey Stirling
Yes, looks like it beats Thriller to me. Nicely creepy, too. Well-played, literally.
Weapon Speed in D&D
Weapon speeds in D&D – expressed as modifiers to initiative rolls – have always bothered me. I was delighted to see them removed in D&D 3.x after having stuck around through AD&D. Real Life In my experience and observation, both of which I will admit are limited but are verified …
Campaign Cookbook
Since I apparently don’t have enough to do, I’ve been considering another project, possibly to be packaged for sale on OBS or Lulu or something. No, I haven’t forgotten the interest people have expressed in my doing this for the megadungeon, and in fact they are related. I’ve been asked …
Node-Based Megadungeon: Information Paths
In developing the megadungeon, most of the graphs concentrated on the physical relationships between the nodes. In the introductory post I mentioned that those weren’t the only relationships possible and presented a sample of what it might look like if the information relationships were shown. Now that I’ve finished outlining …
Science! An Engine Fueled with Liquid Nitrogen
All that is required to fuel these engines, basically, is liquid nitrogen. We are surrounded by the stuff (most of the Earth’s atmosphere is nitrogen), and making liquid nitrogen is pretty straightforward and is almost a side effect of ‘more useful’ processes. I would expect almost no ‘carbon footprint’ from this, …

Pathfinder Domain Map
I’m reviewing my Polyhedral Pantheons material and building a deck of cards to help me actually apply the process a little more easily. I wanted to automate the card layout and construction as much as possible, so I’ll be creating XSL-FO files (to be converted to PDF) from text data …
October Kickstarters
It occurred to me today that with Links of the Week on hiatus I haven’t been posting much about Kickstarter projects that interest me. I decided to do a bit of catching up today. PURGE: Sins of Science- The 1st Real Time Strategy Card Game The Keep System for Game …
Kickstarter: Monster Stock Art & Minis II
Monster Stock Art & Minis II I didn’t take advantage of Inkwell Ideas’ first Monster Stock Art & Minis Kickstarter, and I regret that sometimes. I like this project even better because it includes line art options for all monsters present. I have come to conclude that I actually tend …
Kickstarter: Lupin the Third: The Expansion #1
Lupin the Third: The Expansion #1 I was fortunate enough that when I started delving into anime more deeply that Lupin III featured prominently (thanks Yumiko!). A board game that captures the feel and style of Lupin III? Oh yes, this would please me greatly. The rewards for this project …
