A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin is book one in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. I have owned this book for approximately a year before finally reading it. It came with much acclaim but also a fair share of negativity as well, could this not be said about any book [...]

It’s bound to happen in any game. Maybe it’s over something like material wealth, or perhaps over a given course of action to be taken by the party, but conflict of interest happens with a moderate frequency in most P&P RPG’s I’ve played. Most of the time it’s the players who are actually responsible for [...]

One of the better YouTube videos I’ve seen this year!

Hey, you, the Americans, this post is for you precisely! Have you heard about the E-Parasite bill? It’s the latest and sadly most promising folly coming from Hollywood lobbyists. In their great trend to try and improve everyone’s lives, in order to avoid reflexion on renewing their outdated business model, they prefer to hit very hard [...]

As a P&P RPG enthusiast I’ve met a fair share of other players who actually don’t bother to listen in to the whole game. They’re there during exposition, they’re there during their combat turns, but the moment the focus leaves the group as a whole and their character, they zone out. These are the guys [...]

Found on March 27th 1875, Devils Creek in Yellowstone, Canada. Aurora has a muscular build. She is strong and isn’t afraid to show it. Being from a northern land, she has the thick fluffy double-coat that is characteristic of a timber wolf and Siberian husky. Her coat is a mix of dark and light browns [...]

Years ago while I wandered around the library as a teenager I stumbled upon a little book called Little Fuzzy. It was probably one of the books that made me love reading and still holds a place of endearment along side books such as Dune and Magician. Having never read any of Mr Scalzi’s work [...]
