A place of my very own.
Welcome to my page. It seems like
it always takes me forever to update things around
here. 5-14-11
Online comics:
I've been into comics for years, and have foundsome really good ones over that time. Now, the big thing is online comics.There are some I'm really enjoying and felt I should put up on the page:
- PVP is an online comic by Scott Kurtz that follows the lives of employees at a gaming magazine. The characters are interesting and funny and Scott has a great time showing the lighter side of gaming. Check his stuff out, you won't be disappointed.
- The Order of the Stick is an increadibly funny look at adventurers from the standpoint of the characters they play. It has some very quotable lines that many gamers will understand, appreciate, and (probably) recognize from their own games. ("Did you remember to add the +2 to hit from the bard song?") Anyone who has played an RPG, watched an RPG being played, or considered playing in an RPG MUST visit this site.Period.
- Darth’s and Droids is a very funny web comic that is doing for “Star Wars” whatThe DM of the Rings did for the "Lord of the Rings”. It follows a role playing group trying to puzzle out the story their GM is feeding them. You will NEVER watch those movies the same way again.
Miniature Golfing Review:
Something I enjoy a great dealis miniature golf. Recently, I tried the real thing. That convinced me to stick with mini-golf. Anyhow, I thought someone should let people knowwhat is out there so I put together the attached
Minuature
Golf Review Page .
Role Playing Games:
One of my major hobbies is RPG's (Role Playing Games).Many times these games have come under unwarranted attack. In looking for information, I have found several very good sites that shoot down manyof the arguments of the attackers. Here are some links to those sites:
- Dungeons
and Dragons (TM) and Other Fantasy Role Playing Games has a very concise (five pages) summary of the arguments and their
counter arguments. I used this link to follow to other links, some of which
are listed below.
- The
Pulling Report is an expansive report on Pat Pulling and her organization (aprox.41 pages). If you follow the link back at the bottom of the report, there is a wealth of information at this main site.
I feel it is important to mention that, while these sites tend to slant toward Christian groups as the major attackers, not all Christians are against role playing games, and not all attackers are Christian. The one common feature of all people who jump on the bandwagon is the need to control other peoples thoughts. A rather scary concept. Write me and let me know what you think about these sites and this issue.
And a few other links of interest...
Naturally, I'll be putting in more links as I think of them.
