I came across this very cool article today and instantly my head was spinning with adventure/world-building ideas. Here's one...

Looper - Trailer This looks intriguing. Also, I hope my choice of video format doesn't offend anyone. ;)

A writer over at the AVClub writes about trying out tabletop roleplaying for the first time. It's very interesting to get a set of outside eyes checking out our hobby.

This is the coolest video you've watched today. Cello Wars (Star Wars Parody) Lightsaber Duel - Steven Sharp Nelson - YouTube

I have been listening to Arcade Fire's new album on NPR. I can't wait to download my own copy. It's great so far, but as with their first two albums, I don't think I really feel it until I've spun it a few times.

AVClub has an interview with China Mieville. I have not picked up his latest book, Kraken, yet, but I'm anxious to read it.

One of the great metal vocalists has passed away.

Rogue's Gallery, OOC Early summer, 99 LA, somewhere in the western part of central Erenland The slow creak of the wagon wheels is almost hypnotic in quality. If not for the sobbing, screaming, and cries of pain, it could very well put a person in a trance. The five of you – halfling, elfling...

These characters are for the Midnight PbP game I am running - Night's Plutonian Shore. OOC Thread IC Thread Language Color Guide Taellis Raith - Steelblooded Erunsil Wildlander 1 (Unkabear) Kryt Skullbasher - Beast Orc Fighter 1 (Tailspinner) Günter Gänseblümchen - Charismatic Gnome Rogue 1...

The wizened elf shifted slightly on the rock. A grim, sad smile split his face and his milky eyes seemed to be staring into the past. "I remember...peace," he said. "Oh, to be sure, we have prepared for war for as long as I can remember, but we also had time for play, for joy." He shook his head...

Back in November 2006, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I had been getting numbness off and on for a few months on the right side of my body. Sometimes it was just my hand. Sometimes it was my entire arm and leg. I knew it was something neurological, but put off going to the doctor until...

So, I've finally gotten around to picking up Spycraft 2.0 and I'm loving it. I want to know what the best supplements for it are. I don't care if they are hardcopy or .pdf, modern or fantasy; what are the "must-haves" for the system?

I haven't had time for any personal reading (I want to get to The Warrior Prophet, darn it!), but I've been reading some stuff for school. Arabian Nights and Days by Naguib Mahfouz. This was inspired by One Thousand and One Nights and imagines what happens after Scheherezade is done telling her...

I just finished The Darkness That Comes Before. It was excellent so I will be diving into the next book, The Warrior Prophet. I won't be able to read it as quickly as I like because of school, but I'm sure I will be staying up late a lot to read a few pages.

A fellow ENWorlder and one of my best friends, Widowmaker (Patrick), died in a car accident this morning. I'm not sure of the exact details, but it appears he lost control of his vehicle on a patch of ice on the highway. In the ensuing accident, he lost his life. He was only 28 years old. The...

With school going full bore for me, I've barely had any time to read, let alone anything else. I'm still reading The Devil's Armor by John Marco and Dangerous Visions edited by Harlan Ellison. What are the rest of you reading?

So, someone over on RPG.net mentioned a band called Nightwish, a symphonic metal band from Finland, I believe. Sounded interesting, so I downloaded their Once album and, holy crap!, it's good. The lead singer is a female with a fantastic voice and the blend of orchestra and metal is masterful...

I plan on going into education, probably high school, as soon as I finish my degree in a few years. Any educators out there know of some good books or articles on teaching/education theory that might be helpful?

Welcome to Heroes of the Day! A game of epic heroism in the Dawnforge campaign setting. OOC & RG Ebernath. The island-city of Anderland. Though one of the oldest cities in Eadar, it hardly shows. The Druids of the Panthic Order have shaped Ebernath from a city into a masterpiece of art...

All right, here is the Rogue's Gallery thread for my Heroes of the Day PbP game. I shamelessly borrowed Isida's idea of throwing my character from the other Dawnforge game up here as a template to use for your characters. It's in the spoiler block. Please make my life easier and use that...
