I've caught up on the latest episode of the Amazing Digital Circus, and, well, I can't help myself. I've written another article about the show.

I wrote an article about DnD, how it screws people up, and some stuff you can do to break out of what it does. I know you can't win 'em all, but I'm always happy when I hear I motivated people to try a new system and or a more dynamic game.

A nice thing about seeing each other at conventions is we get to talk about silly animation ideas. And Petirep has had more time to work on personal projects lately.

If you couldn't try it during BABScon, Space Maniac put together an online simulator for the "Song of Love and Tolerance" game I made for the con! All you have to do is select an army to play it. If there's interest, maybe I'll finish the Lunar Republic.

I'm joking. I wasn't kicked out intentionally. Andrea Libman showed up by surprise, and when I stood up to make way for Ashleigh Ball, Andrea sat down in my seat. There wasn't much I could do after that, so I saw myself off!

There's still a few kicking around! This was the very last BABScon, however. It was the swansong for the San Francisco event.

4chan got hacked, apparently. I have strong feelings not about the hacking, but about how the hacking got reported on. If you want to read an article I wrote, here you go:

He gained a reputation as a radical in his earlier career due to using Nurglings in a "Harlem Shake" video, but has long since moved on from that era and now uses equipment captured from Noise Marines, claiming it protects the children.

Getting DeMarcus's takes on this character was a lot of recording fun. You just say, "There's no wrong way to record this line," and let it go.

Part 33 of Dungeon Men is online! The party needs a little pep talk from Pythara, an insidious dragon with openly selfish motives, but hey! When you’re in the dark, sometimes any light will do.

I've got a new article about the Ice and Fire Tabletop's "Neutral" faction, which are mercenaries you can hire to flesh out your army.

At some point I should probably write an overview article on what the factions even are.
