I'm running a new 4e campaign online (PBF)
So I'm running the Scales of War adventure path from Dungeon over on dndorks.com in the forums. As I often do with these kinds of things, I'll be testing and modifying a lot of the code I've written on dndorks.com to handle 4e gaming, things like the character sheet (example here), the online combat map (example here), and even the dice roller (no ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: More Island Time
The Stand, the unabridged version by Stephen King.
Robinson Crusoe (Hey I might get ideas)
The Count of Monte Cristo
Shogun
Stranger in a Strange Land
This list is a bit different than just quality, in some cases I went for quantity to keep me busy. -
My first map for the module I'm writing with Jason
I'm working on a 4e module with Jason, and though normally I push off all the artistic stuff on him, I've been playing a bigger role in a lot of the artistic direction of the product than I normally do. With that in mind, I was determined to learn how to create decent maps, or even, "good" maps. ;)
Here is my first try:

New Dndorks Comic - Ethan and the Dragon Hoard
Its a new Monday, and thus a new Dndorks comic is up!
In the last "instory" comic, Ethan discovered he could loot the treasure while scouting then claim to the rest of the group that there was only monsters up ahead. Its presumed that Ethan and the DM are passing notes back and forth, which would make the other players suspicious, but what can they ( Read more... ) -
EU may try and force Microsoft to offer alternative browsers other than IE
This post is in response to reading this: http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2009/02/eu-may-order-microsoft-to-bundle-other-browsers.ars
So I've been watching this story unfold for a while now, and I assumed at some point common sense would kick in and it would be kicked out, but then I guess I forgot that the story involves the EU so I should ( Read more... ) -
Dndorks Store
So Jason and I have been talking about selling Dndorks products for a long time. We even tried cafe press a long time ago, but the stuff wasn't necessarily that great of quality.
In the years since then though, they've improved themselves, upgraded the products, and can do some nifty stuff in general. With all of that in mind, we're going to try ( Read more... ) -
website stuff
So this weekend I programmed some more on my roleplaying map generator on dndorks.com.
Its not really being used for anything yet, but the silverlight can be viewed here: http://dndorks.com/roleplaying/GameMap.aspx?id=3&Round=1
It lets you upload an image as a map, then upload images (png or jpg) that can be dragged around on the map. If an object ( Read more... ) -
Food Costs Way Down
So I was eating out nonstop 2 times a day. Unfortunately I don't really care for fast food, I start feeling sluggish, get headaches, and can't keep up my normal work schedule, which is to program a solid 12 hours a day. Which means if I eat out 2 a day it tends to be more expensive meals, Outback, Roadrunner, Michoacan (a good mexican restaurant ( Read more... ) -
Why is my monitor fuzzy? A possible solution
So I have this 32" 1080p multitouch on my desk next to my 2 monitors, which is awesome, but it was kinda fuzzy ( Read more... ) -
I totally Geeked out yesterday watching Smallville
So I started catching up on all my tv shows this weekend and finally started catching up on Smallville. When I saw the episode title, "Legion", my first thought was a demonic bible reference, maybe some sort of multitude phantom thing (which I think they already had an episode related to last season), instead I was shocked to see 3 people from the ( Read more... )
