Whiteout: Las Vegas
Finnish RPG author and columnist Juhana writes about my game in his log:
I’ve often had the opportunity to lobby for roleplaying games as viable culture and art with culture officials and artists. Sadly, what I’ve tended to lack is anything worth presenting. I’m not going to offer fantasy schlock or WoD juvenilia, because the audience [...]
CIA chief gadget geek?
Since 24 sep this year we have a new CIA chief: Porter J. Goss.
The mini-bio tells us he has “clocked some field time”:
Mr. Goss was a U.S. Army Intelligence officer from 1960 to 1962. He served as a clandestine service officer with the Central Intelligence Agency from 1962 until 1972, when an illness contracted [...]

I mean, an action figure. People collect these. And pay great money for them.
FIGlet – ASCII heaven

I am the Nordic Contact Relations Guy
Denmark’s greatest role-playing game convention is Fastaval, hands down.
I just penned an article about it, for the Swedish role-playing game magazine Sverox, expounding its greatness.
When I was done with the article, I contacted the man in charge of the coming Fastaval, and volunteered to be the con’s **Nordic Contact**. More international-oriented cons, and most [...]
Weather Dude: Meteorology made simple for kids, parents and teachers!
Weather Dude: Meteorology made simple for kids, parents and teachers. What a web we have! The guy has songs, educational songs, that “teach” kids about the weather.
Love it.

Open Directory Project: almost altruistic
