RPG Motivational Posters
I really got a kick out of these “RPG Motivational Posters.” They’ve been making the rounds for a while, but I came across them in a forum while researching my new rpg that I’m preparing to run. My favorite was the “World of Synnibar” one, since I’ve actually played a game of what is probably […]
20 Years of Lust
I will apologize now for the lack of a Random Encounter this week, I’ve been holed up house-sitting for the in-laws since before the weekend. Have no fear, they will be back in a week (or less)! Yet another of Nintendo’s excellent properties has celebrated an anniversary recently, this time it’s Metroid with 20 years […]
A Slight Overreaction
It was in the news a few weeks back that, upon further analysis, there were in fact references to Doom in the notebooks of the two students who were responsible for the Columbine Massacre. The media seemed to accept this as ‘Veritas Lux Mea’ and that this was the final proof needed to complete another […]
Bridge Troll stopped by Police, LSD
Modern day monsters do exist. Police arrested a man who was demanding $1 from passerbys to cross over his bridge, and when they refused to pay, he used his club against them (a broken golf club.) A man with the “troll” claimed that he was acting that way due to LSD. What’s great is that […]

That’s right ladies (and guys?) that stellar specimen of sheer ruggedness and “hotter-then-the-f-ing-sun-itself” good looks turns 40 today. Most famous these days for his leading role as the confused, puppy-dog-esque, and “I’m going to tell Locke what he can’t […]

“He had no hobby, cared for no sort of amusement of any kind and lived in utter disregard of the most elementary rules of hygiene” –Nikola Tesla, about Thomas Edison Nikola Tesla, my favorite scientist and the guy who really defined “mad scientist”, had his 150th birthday today. (No doubt, of course, that he is […]
More Geeks in Love
Congratulations to Critical-Hitters Bartoneus and Sucilaria on their recent marriage! While they are on honeymoon, there will be no Random Encounters column. And if you want to send your best wishes, I’m sure they’ll be logged on to WoW at some point during the honeymoon 😉
Good news everyone!
Like Family Guy before it, Futurama is returning with new episodes! Cancelled before its time (like oh so many other awesome Fox shows), Comedy Central will be making at least one complete new season. We already knew there were going to be some straight to DVD movies… but this is totally awesome news. My second […]
Dragonlance to become animated movie
If there was an official announcement, it slipped under my rader. But there will be an animated Dragonlance movie made by paramount based on the book series (and D&D setting.) Lucy Lawless will be doing the voice of Goldmoon the Cleric, the disciple of healing god Mishikal, and first post-Cataclysm good cleric (no wonder no […]
