Steve Darlington does a pretty detailed job outlining the who/what/where/when of all things RPG. Here's PART ONE.

And for those of you who like to skip ahead.
HERE'S PARTS:
TWO
THREE
FOUR

he actually goes all the way to PART NINE... but I got tired of linking. As usual.

CORNY "D&D" CARTOON FROM THE 1980'S

Everything you loved about "Dungeons & Dragons" growing up is NOT represented in this Saturday morning cartoon. It's the lame "kids teleported into the world of Dungeons & Dragons" concept, instead of showing the powerful characters kids enjoyed controlling in the fantasy world. They made the same mistake some 10 years later with the movie.

I find it hard to believe Gary Gygax had a hand in this thing... but then again, I still don't believe that Paul Reubens masturbates.

THE LATEST NEWS ON "CAVERNS & CLERICS"

I have an investor. That is, I think I have an investor. Which means a slick looking "C&C" game might be on the way very soon. I've also had some interest in shooting the development/marketing of the game from a documentary crew. Hollywood here I come!

Things are marching forward like a throng of Viking Berzerkers on an icy battlefield! By the way, $25 bucks seems a bit steep for something without a close-up picture. Buyer beware!

WHO DOESN'T NEED SOME "IRON MAIDEN"?

Classic "Flight of the Icarus" video from the 1980's:

I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS...

...I like having Conan as our Governor. Let's see Ernie Fletcher stand up to 50+ inches of cold steel!

FRANK FRAZETTA DOCUMENTARY: TRAILER

If you haven't seen it... you're dead to me.

OH, BY THE WAY...

...sorry about that whole month-and-a-half layoff on the blog. But Comic-Con took more out of me than I care to admit.

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: ONLINE

If dogshit was ever reincarnated in human form, it's name would surely be Chuck Osborne. Here he does a lame "Daily Show-esque" segment where he tries to sell the whole devil worship/D&D relationship. The online version seems pretty cool though.
