Tasty!

Found this page via the ENWorld forums. They actually look good to eat...

Tom Wham was one of the guys at TSR in the old days; not sure what he's doing these days, but he's obviously keeping his web page going...

AD&D Action Figures

Remember these? I had a few when I was a kid, though I never realized there were as many as there are.

They're pretty crude, even by early 80's standards. Warduke still kicks ass though :)

Fun Internet Toy

This page serves no real purpose other than wasting time, but it's still cool.

A Update on the Site

I haven't posted in awhile so I figured it might be a good idea to summarize what's been going on around here lately.

Mythosa Chronicle #11: This was originally supposed to be posted six or seven months ago. Well, I was busy. In any case, the rough draft of this issue is done and once the editting is finished it will finally be posted. I'm hoping to get back to doing one each month, but I'm not sure how likely that is. The Chronicle will continue regardless, but probably at a more irregular pace.

TableSmith: Development on version 5 keeps humming along, albeit slowly. Everything is pretty much ready except for the "Archives" functionality. Once that's in, TS5 will go into beta and eventually will be released. Probably as a commercial product, though; I can't afford to keep doing it as a fully-featured shareware. Not enough return for my time and effort investment.

MMORPGs: I decided that Guild Wars is to World of Warcraft as methodone is to heroin. Or however those drugs work. I still play both but I together I play them less than I previously played WoW, which is a good thing. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be playing WoW, though. I've decided to focus my efforts on my rogue, even to the point where I've started putting together her blue armor set. But only two of the eight pieces can be gotten without having to make the raids into Scholo and Blackrock and wherever. Part of the end game which, as I've stated before, doesn't appeal to me. So, while WoW is a fun game I think it may have run its course for me unless I want to be a hardcore, 30+ hour/week raider.

Site Redesign: Yes, I'm thinking about re-doing the site again. Not in a major way, but just making things a bit nicer. I'll probably stick with the existing design and layout for the most part.

That's all for now.
