March 2014’s RPG Blog Carnival is focusing on Virtual TableTops and Online Gaming. I invited VTT creators to chat with me briefly about the state of VTTs, and what’s the future of online RPGs. This evening I sat down for a brief chat with +Doug Davison , President of SmiteWorks, the company that owns and develops…
I blame my kid. As someone who used to do gold evaporation for my PhD thesis, I was always shocked at just how heavy it it. We always talk about uranium and tungsten as being dense, and they are. They’re also hard, high-melting refractory materials, so they do occupy a unique place in the hearts…
We are all down here in Arizona, so the stuff that we’re giving each other within the family stayed at home. We’ll do that tomorrow. For now, I received 11 sets of polyhedral dice Lifting straps to transfer deadlift weight from my grip to my wrists A gift certificate to amazon for woodworking tools Inline…

"How to flee like Sir Robin and not get eaten from behind" is your assignment, should you choose to accept it. If you have a blog, send me the link. If you don't, send me the post and I'll host it. 🙂
Nuke em from orbit, that's the only way to be sure. But if you lack a nuke then a flashbang may be just as good. Just don't let them win the initiative and don't let them survive the first round. But should they survive, make sure you have a load of lead flying their way so they don't dare raise their head from that hole the ducked it in to save their life and then quickly bring in the artillery on them.
