We’re Just not Playing the Same Game
The game called D&D is over 40 years old now.
Many of the people that invented it have passed on, so we can’t ask them what they think of the state of the hobby today. But that’s okay, because some people think they know, some people don’t care, and others actively despise what those men […]
Good afternoon, I wanted to share with you some of the blog posts that I really enjoyed this past week.
First up, Fen Orc has a good one about his supplement to the Zenopus Dungeon:
Holmes’ introduction to the dungeon links it to the mysterious fate of the wizard Zenopus, who created a Tower […]
Jordan Peterson is all over my Social Media lately. The first time I saw him, he was being interviewed by a very aggressive talking head that insisted on putting words in his mouth. He calmy and patiently refuted her again and again.

An unfinished blog post with a list of books worth reading:
Shane Atwell’s Blog: In Search of Where We Went Wrong
The battle lines between individualism and collectivism were thus already drawn in the 1880s and the individualists had already lost, at least the intellectual battle if not the political/legal one. Note that the […]
Looking at ways of surviving, if not thriving, for the next four years.
VDH is a hero of mine:

Are We Civilized?
Civilization is a precarious accomplishment, as Thucydides and Edmund Burke both knew—it is difficult to secure and easy to lose. Are we at a tipping point? “We, of the modern world, don’t have a consistently civilized people. […]
Where does this come from? The guy travels and speaks all over the place, how does he have time to put together this kind of thinking?
Who benefits most from you having a high “friend” count on Facebook? Hint: not you. The social graph is what people are selling. It’s a model built to understand […]
