Commented on Mouse Guard: kid-friendly RPG where you get to play a mouse with a sword!
Every review of this game says that it's a good choice for kids, what with the cute mice and all. They all overlook how unremittingly grim it is. Everything is dangerous to mice, a point hammered home again and again...
Commented on Nazi-bred super cows will save the dung beetles!
Pedantic: the singular is "aurochs", not "auroch". It's cognate to "ox" and pluralizes in the same way, to "aurochsen"....
Commented on Driving from Brooklyn to Oregon next week; What weird should I espy?
Detour to Carhenge, in Alliance, Nebraska. It is especially mystical now, not quite halfway between the solstice and the equinox....
Commented on Representative wants free, porn-less Internet for all
So predictable. Representative Eshoo is bravely leading the charge to the nanny state, and somehow, in the second-richest congressional district in America, the Republican party has been unable to find so much as a challenger. Single party state ftw....

To "properly" play D&D 4E, you need three core rulebooks (Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, Monster Manual) and can add two more (Player's Handbook 2 and the newly-released Monster Manual 2) to play. One book is for the players and the DM, and two are strictly for the DM. You also should have miniatures and grid-based dungeon/town/etc maps for your encounters. Wizards of the Coast helpfully provides both boxes of (randomly assorted!) painted miniatures and tile sets for the prices you might expect out of the comics/games/hobbies industry. Also, the DM has the option of acquiring at least six more...

Cory, if you think Mouse Guard is interesting, and it is, you should keep your eye on FreeMarket. Transhumanism in space, where meatspace is governed by an internet type reputation based system. It lets you explore the ideas of what a post-scarcity, post-death, post-human-governance society might be like. I have in my imagination that you would find these subjects interesting. Luke Crane (Designer of Mouse Guard) is also involved in that project with Jared Sorenson, another excellent RPG designer, and I await the games release anxiously. http://www.projectdonut.com/ -Clyde...
