You Scored as Character Player The Character Player enjoys creating in-depth characters with distinct and rich personalities.

I was meant to spend today down at the Magic prerelease for Shards of Alara, but the illness that has been dogging me for the past week still hasn’t gone away. Instead, I stayed home on a lovely, warm spring day. Instead, I watched the Australian football premiership.

Like a little whirly thing which tells you if the page is loading, or still waiting for your request to be processed by the server. And each tab has its own entry on the Task Manager. … Continue reading The future is Chrome

Another weekend has passed, and once again we got in some gainful gaming. Friday was my Castle Greyhawk campaign, and the group finally managed to locate the goblin caves where the prisoners they’d been searching for were held. They’d have found them earlier, but they actually believed the goblin who’d told them that another group of humanoids had taken the prisoners… Before they entered the … Continue reading Weekend gaming and beyond!
