Don’t Let Congress Kill the Internet
If you haven’t noticed already, many sites have gone dark to protest bills currently slinking their way through the US Congress.
SOPA and PIPA will, effectively, kill the Internet as we know it and make it nearly impossible for the small guys (ie ME) to run websites where users can upload content.
Google has a great site on the need to kill these bills, so I won’t duplicate the effort.
If you’re US Citizen, I beg you to contact your Senators and Representative and tell them to say no to these bills and to stop allowing corporate cash to determine legislation.

Game of Thrones – Excellent Inspiration
I’ve gushed on here before about how cool George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series is. HBO picked up the rights to the books and is making a series based on them.
The simplest way to describe them is Lord of the Rings meets Dune. Fantasy, but with heavy political intrigue. And sex. And violence. And more sex.
If you haven’t picked up the books, do so immediately. They are a fantastic resource for any Fantasy RPG. Political intrigue and a maneuverings galore. If you’re not into reading (barbarian) or if you have read them already, check out the HBO series. I’ve reviewed the first episode here and it’s worth the time and money.

More D&D on Microsoft’s Surface
A few months back, I put a demo video up of the new D&D prototype running on Microsoft’s Surface technology.
Well, here’s another demo of actual gameplay. It’s a little muddled, but you get a better sense of how it plays.
