(Untitled)
Every time I hear someone tell me I have "privilege" as a white male, I want to punch them in the face. I wish my problems were so small I could declare myself a woman and have people supporting me all over the place. Screw everyone who thinks I have privilege. Stop your damn whining.

Masterpieces of the Universe
My good friend Cookie was talking about the Masters of the Universe Classics line, and I realized I knew next to nothing about it; so I looked it up. It's pretty cool, though there are an unfortunate number of He-Man variants. I wish I had Trapjaw, Mantenna, and Mosquitor, toys I thought were cool when I was a kid and always wanted, but were ( Read more... ) -
R.I.P. Dave Trampier
One of the finest illustrators of role-playing games passed away about a week ago. He was a major contributor to the 1st Edition AD&D Monster Manual, Player's Handbook, and Dungeon Master's Guide, as well as others. He wrote the long-term comic in Dragon magazine, Wormy. His work was really excellent and Wormy was getting pretty outstanding toward ( Read more... ) -
