A friend and I recently created twin fire-eating D&D characters, so I thought it would be interesting to create a throne room based on them. I was thinking private tent in a circus at first, but now I'm leaning towards a more ornate, smaller interior space, with only one throne instead of two, in order to simplify things.…

SHEPHERDS “What you are doing is a mistake!” Zed didn't react at first, his gaze still focused on the scene before him. The fires engulfed the night, biting the walls of the ancient temple, swallowing it from the inside. The old wooden statues were burning. The flames consumed the ancient gods of ebony, reducing hundreds…
I initially got into games because of Dungeons & Dragons ... it was a small publishing market that needed lots of cheap art and I was looking for someone to publish me -- that and Dungeons & Dragons (circa 1975) was what I had been looking for all my young life.

One thing that bothers me about the New Media world is that you have to completely re-learn (not update, re-learn) your primary coding language every 3-4 years just to stay current. It gets easier every time but it's still a pain. I…
AMD/ATI fell off the gravy train a little while ago, but AMD's Bulldozer is suppose to be incredible. I'd say the i5/i7 definitely has the market cornered until then. I've owned both Nvidia and ATI cards and ATI drivers always give me a headache. Plus, it seems like the lines have been drawn in regards to intel going with…
