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 …
I wish I could justify this one to myself, but at this point: I have no need for miniatures, all my RPG play is via Hangout right now; I have no time for miniatures, I’m busy working on other things; I have no space for miniatures, unless I just want to dump …
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 …

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 …
Yet again, no Links of the Week post. Between Drive-Thru RPG’s Christmas in July sale (which set me back a fair bit of time… and money) and a particularly stupid move on my part setting back one of my projects (Ijust now got back to where I was the other …
