I think the Dexter complaints result from the fact that Dexter used to stream on Netflix. Spartacus: Blood and Sand did, too, before Starz pulled it.

Weren't your designs on the DungeonMorph dice? I thought that was where I first ran across your maps over a year ago. Also, thanks for the awesome tutorial.

This was going to be my suggestion. My wife and I currently have the streaming plus 1 disc, but as Netflix's streaming options get better, our use of the discs drops. At one point a few years ago we had the 2 discs at a time option with a queue for me and one for her. I think after we're done...

I tried several times to read that series and couldn't get past the first book. I just wasn't interested. I'm reading the second book in Codex Alera, and am almost done the Books on CD version of Poe's Children for my commute. After Christmas I will hopefully be reading Cold Days. I'm also...

Are your maps all hand-drawn and scanned or digital? I really like the effect and have looked at and used your maps for years now, but I was just curious as to actual methods.

Yes, this past season has been much better. Although, my wife did tell me to stop yelling at Michonne and Andrea both last week and this week.

I have not played a long running campaign, but I do intend to do so in another year or so when my 2nd-grade daughter has a little more interest in RPGs. That said, check out the Yahoo Group - http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/icons-rpg/ - a somewhat active group email list that includes quite...

I was going to propose ICONS but ProtoClone beat me to it. Others that I can think of (all on the light end of the rules-spectrum) that would work: FATE SUPERS Savage Worlds Capes, Cowls, and Villains Foul

This, exactly. I said it in a Facebook discussion with a friend, but it appears that the filmmakers bought the rights with the sole intent of stealing the title, knowing full well that their film had nothing whatsoever to do with the source material.

That's true.

True, but her character development in the books is actually much deeper than katana wielding badass. I think we just haven't seen enough of her in the series yet to get those details.

Can't XP you, but I am in total agreement. EDIT - I also thought Carol got away. That was the point of T-Dog's sacrifice.

Recently got bit a little by the magic bug, so I borrowed and read (and reread again) Nick Einhorn's The Illustrated Compendium of Magic Tricks. I have two other books in the mail on card and coin tricks, and I've been working on sleight of hand skills. I also downloaded an e-book by a...

Finished 11/22/63 the other day. Worth a read, but it certainly wasn't my favorite Stephen King novel. My favorite part was the time spent in Currently reading the second book of Jim Butcher's Codex Alera, and borrowed the first 6 Walking Dead trade paperbacks, and as much as I enjoy the show...

So much of Sun Tzu is in the cultural zeitgeist that it really might not seem as profound as it once was. I found Musashi's Book of Five Rings better on that account. But for actual warfare, I think von Clausewitz's On War is a better treatise than Sun Tzu.
