In a strange epilogue to the decision by the United States government (pre-midterm changeover) to place limits on funding for online poker, the country of Antigua has won the legal right to ignore US copyrights thanks to the World Trade Organization. From the New York Times: The award follows a W.T.O. ruling that Washington had […]

Quick, Quiet, and Wild
Wizards of the Coast has given 4e anticipaters a holiday present in the form of the entire Elf entry from the Player’s Handbook. (And no, there’s nothing about them building toys.) There’s nothing terribly shocking to those of us who have been following all the 4e previews: there’s no penalty to stats anymore, just bonuses, […]
Toss another Halfling into the endzone!
Spotted this at BGN: next year, expect a PC version of my favorite Games Workshop game Blood Bowl, with an Xbox 360 version to follow later in the year. This is not the first computer version of BB, but it has been a while: the previous one ran on DOS. The article has this to […]

I have not read any of Mistborn, so any comments on it would be welcome. I certainly don’t envy Mr. Sanderson, but I’m glad that someone is going to step in and finish the […]
Armor Check Penalty Applies for Fetch
Armor for Dogs (and other animals) is apparently available. It comes in both light and heavy armor, in case your dog is supposed to be a rogue or a fighter respectively. (thanks, joshx0rfz)
"Upgraded"… and Again
Something weird happened when our hosting company upgraded something on the back end. Hopefully it’s completely dealt with now, and sorry for the downtime! Edit: I suppose I jinxed it since we went down for another 2 days after I said that. And considering there are still some behind the scenes things not working, it […]
