See parts one, two and three. 2001 to 2009: The City and The Circus After two players left, and the arrival of a new one, after making the transition to D&D 3.0, and later 3.5, I had started two new … Continue reading

Particle Accelerators Around Black Holes?
Are extraterrestrial civilizations building particle accelerators around black holes, and can we detect their use? Astrophysicist Brian Lacki at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study speculates that we may actually ask and answer such questions. He proposes that if such … Continue reading

Dwarves in Udra and How They Differ From Those of Cliche

The halflings of Udra and how they differ from Tolkien and traditional D&D
The cliche of halflings in D&D is that they are jolly burglars and shoeless, gourmand hippies, following the vaguely Irish or Welsh culture given them by Tolkien. This is not so in Udra. In Udra, all the halflings came from … Continue reading

A preliminary review of Roll20
