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 …
Yesterday I described some things I don’t like about Pathfinder cleric subdomains. Now it’s time to think about what to do about these things. I think I’ll do this in several passes, since so far I’ve found the solutions I come up with tend to interact with more than one …
I’ll start by saying that I like Pathfinder’s domains and subdomains. Domains provide a structured means to collect divine spells and granted powers so they can be assigned and associated with gods in a structured way. Pathfinder expanded on the D&D 3.x model by adding an intermediate power available to …
I try to stay away from political conversations, though the US presidential race is making that difficult at times. Not only am I being inundated with political stuff from another country, but some of it is so blatantly unfair and untrue that it riles me something fierce. So, in lighter …

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.
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”
A few weeks ago I mentioned the Kaidan Campaign Setting (for Pathfinder) in my Links of the Week. This is a setting based on Japanese myth. Not the friendly happy kind that gave us Totoro, but the kind that would have people locking their doors and following ritual to stay …
