Demon Free Thursday!

I know, you were hoping for the next entry in the Demons of Adad Untash, but instead you got nothing. Sorry ’bout that. I was busy working on my article for Knockspell #5 last night and couldn’t be arsed to work up the next demon. Silly me. Odds are you’ll get your next bundle of joy on Friday.

In other news, it’s been an exciting morning in Austin. That’s right by my office, but we’re all fine. Fingers crossed for those affected.

Too Many Strange Stones

Wherein your humble scribe posts a picture of his dice collection. Largely for image testing purposes.
A whole lotta dice
I’m very fond of dice. I won’t go so far as to say I fetishize them. But I’m terribly fond of them. I went through a period in the late 80s and early 90s when I felt, somehow, that polyhedral dice were silly and games should only be played with d6s. I blame Hero and TFT for that. I forgive them, of course, but I blame them.

Later, probably around the time that I got all excited to get back into role-playing because of 3rd Ed. D&D I rediscovered my love of these strange stones. They make me happy, all of them. I think this is part of why I’m such a sucker for Basic RolePlaying now. I really like the fact that the system is yummy and logical but I still get to use my oddly-shaped bits of plastic when I play it.
