You are The Magician Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity. Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,  you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive. The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is … Continue reading If Steven Brust can post this, so can I…

Torchwood – Out of Time

To call Torchwood erratic in quality is simply stating an obvious truth: the scripts are all over the place. Characterisation is a mess. Although Gwen and Captain Jack – when he gets something to do – fare pretty well, the rest tend to go between invisible and somewhat annoying. Do the writers get things write? Yes, occasionally.

Guy Fullerton’s Gencon Blog

It’s confirmed: 4th edition D&D.

Well, well, well. My, my, my. Oh dear. I already have *too many* D&D 3.5e books. What will happen to me now? For those in my existing D&D campaigns: Don’t worry. Yet.

Poker set

I’ve just bought “Poker for Dummies”. Why did I do that? Let’s face it… I know how to play Poker. I’m not bad at it. The reason: The chips.
