Sang Nordique Website Relaunch

#Roleplaying #Webdev

I had a hand in building and maintaining the previous versions of the site, and though I haven't played in the game itself in years, I still like participating by way of some donated web development time. Not only does it give me the opportunity to a

More Comicbook Recommendations

Here are four more comicbooks that you should give a chance. They're all available digitally. If you're looking for a good comicbook, if you're looking for a good read, you won't go wrong with one of these...

What Makes A Hero?

I ran across this TEDEducation video recently. It's by Matthew Winkler and it beautifully illustrates 'the hero's journey', a common and powerful myth that crops up in many classic and modern stories.

Burning Wheel Dice

#Roleplaying

I play in a bi-weekly Burning Wheel game with a pair of friends. One of them has a set of dice he's cobbled together with little glued-on pieces of paper. Having played over fifty sessions in this ongoing campaign, they were starting to show some wea

A new coat of paint for my RACC site

#Webdev

If you went to my RACC fiction subsite, you would have seen that it had a haphazard, half-finished appearance. Though I poked and prodded it several times over its existence, it never really benefited from the attention it wanted. This had a lot to do wit

I often had an issue working at home, a place I associated with rest and relaxation. Attempting to accomplish any task at my desk at home became more problematic after I got used to a standing desk at work because I started to equate sitting with "ta

Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho

Jon suggested Ross's character provide inspiration and morale by singing a "dwarven digging song". It seemed like a bit of a stretch to find a couple more helping dice for the skill check, but came to a compromise...

Some Comicbook Recommendations

DC Comics did a complete restart of its entire line a little over a year ago, and Marvel Comics is just about to refresh a lot of its line after the Avengers Vs Xmen crossover. This means there's a lot of people talking about a lot about mainstream s

Feodor's Character/Flavour Cheat Sheet

#Roleplaying

A couple people have expressed interest in the "cheat sheet" document I had with me when playing Feodor, the original character. Rather than putting together an in-depth character origin story, I opted for an outline of notes I could refer to wh
