Bring Forgotten Realms to Google Earth
The cartography page on the Forgotten Realms Wikia page suggests that the circumference of Abeir-Toril is about 40,007 km. That compares to Earth with about 40,075 km. That’s not the same but it’s a pretty good match. Redditor McCourt spent “Countless total hours, just messing around, fixing little things… a labour of love, though, so […]
Free to Download: The Caravan of Watched Enlightenment
Lady Ophelia’s Shop of Roleplay Specialties is an indie publisher run by Venus De Coy. De Coy doesn’t mix her words has given Ophelia’s Shop a clear stter; this is a conmpany for non-dungeon crawlers, pushing roleplay over roll-play.

Bullet chart: exit and entry holes

Tunnels & Trolls goes Deluxe with Kickstarter
Another RPG Kickstarter of note. This time it’s Tunnels & Trolls and this game really does have a strong claim to fame. It was the second RPG published in the States and it beat Dungeons & Dragons to print in the UK. It’s older than this blogger; as it was first published in 1975. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/994700393/deluxe-tunnels-and-trolls/ […]
Picture this… Vampire: The Masquerade LARP group adopts highway
This is a highway in northern Virginia and it’s been adopted by a Vampire: The Masquerade LARP club. I think this is pretty cool though I’m not sure it follows the Masquerade very closely!
Fan-made Robotech live action trailer
There is no Robotech live action, that I’m aware of, but this juicy fan-made trailer shows you clearly what it might look like. There are certainly plenty of Robotech anime movies. Mankind uses technology claimed from a crashed alien starship to design mecha, transformable mechs, to help fight off not one – but three – […]
