An Amazing Blog Reached 1 Year A Few Days Ago...
Monsters and Manuals, a great site for good gaming, just celebrated its 1st anniversary last week. Since I've been reading the blog for awhile now, I figured I'd hip my readers to some recent topics on the site which are thoughtful and thought provoking:
-Theory of Demihumans: A lot of solid thought put into this post, with some great citations.
...
-A Rant on the Use(ful/less)ness of Class: Don't let the names of classes define your character (this prevents me from writing up the exact same rant again ;).
And of course The Writer's Choice for best entries of the year. None of these will disappoint :).
Give them a read; they're worth it. While I'm at it, NiTessine in the deep freezing wastes writes an amusing and amazing blog. Check his stuff out; his rants on various issues in the industry are always top-notch.
As Always, Good Gaming,

Memorial Day Interesting Post Roundup
Just got done with a large amount of mind-numbing work on various projects at the homestead, so I figured I would post a list of what has been keeping me relatively sane over the last few days of 3-day weekend madness.
=The Chatty DM just posted a great discussion on Dungeon Reality Shows. Definitely give some props, and your suggestions, to the pot so that these ideas could percolate and make up for an interesting setting.
=Johny Drain posts an excellent set of blog roundups on a (somewhat erratic) basis... this is going to be my 'browse while doing other things' list, but
=Groknard is throwing up his own update blogroll for those who like the SF side of the SF&F equation (especially ST) when it comes to homebrewing. It's hit or miss for the fantasy reader, but the information on Atomic Sock Monkey's PDQ is definitely worth it as it points to a great little freebie list (reposted here) that is worth checking out.
=Gnome Stew's John Arcadian andWalt Ciechanowski wrote up a great two-fer on collaborative DMing which actually gave me some insight into some entertaining possibilities when it comes to a different style of play and mastering.
Short roundup as I need to get some rest, but check these out and get back to me on anything which proves interesting.
