Last week, asking about your systems operation, 77% of you responded that you use Windows… somewhere. The Mighty Mac came in second with 29%, and Loquacious Linux running in third with 20%.

Mining Tropes for RPG Nuggets: This is the End, Friend
No no, I’m not ending this series, no worries. As mentioned here, I’m exploring “Endings” as applied to RPG campaigns… Many long-lasting Role playing campaigns based on power-gaining PCs hinge around a progressively increasing threat that almost invariably escalate to the World Destroying level.

Head over to the Watchmen site to see all of the glorious full-size shots. I have to say that I think these are perfect, especially the Comedian […]
