It’s been a while since I was this excited about a new television show with swords. I mean, granted I enjoy Legend of the Seeker but I can’t say it’s exactly, um, the highest quality out there.

One of Patrick Hughes’s many cool 3D paintings, “Paradoxymoron, currently hangs in the basement of the British Library, in London.

No, because steampunk takes from the Victorian period, it draws on some really stunning designs in fabric, wood, and architecture in general. The Steampunk Home is a […]
So apparently next week is the thrice-yearly Read an RPG Book in Public Week, in which roleplaying enthusiasts are encouraged to take their favorite rule books out to the coffee shop or bus stop and read them in public.
