Just kidding, I agree with your post. I like reading old gaming posts, and checking out a decades-old post about an RPG can be a real challenge (or downright impossible) when all of the links are dead! I remember trying to read one old thread (ironically, in an archive of a Yahoo! Group I used...

Came here to mention Bundle of Holding. Not only do we have one site that sells large bundles of excellent game PDFs for a huge discount, we have two. Add in the occasional really good bundle deal on DTRPG and the regular excellent bundle deals on itch.io, and you can legally acquire all of the...

Well, Yog-Sothoth.com is gone. I'm still not over it.

My wife is a big female-dwarves-with-beards stan. I don't particularly like the visual, but then again, I'm also more into non-Tolkienesque fantasy races. Like, say, Talislanta. EDIT: And now I regret searching etsy for "female dwarf with beard miniature." Some of those female dwarf miniatures...

And with Stephen Wright as Marvin.

It's never good when a furry family member has to go. Especially due to a medical quality-of-life decision. It's almost three years ago that we had to put down our dog, who was in pain and suffering. It was around three months after my daughter was born. What an emotional rollercoaster...

It's really not healthy for anyone, child or adult, to be online constantly. This was clear as far back as 1987, when I went to college and was exposed to the IRC servers on the NYU campus. Constant exposure to every conscious thought of a thousand strangers was bad then; how could it be better...

You gonna get eaten by crocodiles?

Was it Pineapple Express pornography‽‽‽

I went to GenCon one year, and they had a new Axis & Allies game -- but it was a collectible miniatures game, instead of the standard versions. It had plastic pieces, and you got a random assortment in each box. I played a demo game, but it uses buckets and buckets of dice -- multiple for each...

If watching movies has taught me anything, it's that volcanoes could spring up anywhere! Even downtown LA*! * Please note, I'm not recommending Volcano (1997). I watched it, I think I must have enjoyed it enough to finish it, but I can't remember anything else about the picture except that I at...

When Superstorm Sandy hit New Jersey, my house was in an area that was relatively unscathed. I ended up hosting more of my friends during that week than I had in the previous 10+ years I'd lived in my house. My washing machine and dryer were running constantly, I had two power strips on my...
