After the first couple warm days of spring comes the first rainy Sunday. Luckily, The Dude had a chance to get outside before the rain to attempt to clean up the remaining fall yard mess from the B.G. era (Before Genghis). It is now in piles, but bagging will have to wait. We had a…

The Dude felt sad this week when he heard that a second luminary in the RPG industry had died. He had the pleasure to meet and shake his hand two years ago at the FLGS (Friendly Local Gaming Store) during Worldwide Dungeons and Dragons day, and Mr. Arneson seemed a very kind, down to earth…

So with this whole Twitter thing, the new hotness that all the cool kids are doing, it turns out there are about a bazillion different methods that people are using to interface with it. This is in addition to using your phone, or the actual web interface. Crazy. The Dude perhaps is a little old…

Thank you everyone for all the kind wishes for the arrival of our new daughter Genghis– we’re getting into the swing of things around Casa Del The Dude, and Attila is loving having a new little sister around (or my baby as she calls her). 100 Quatloos to the first person to correctly identify the…

This one might be difficult. Still autoposting… 100 Quatloos to the first person to correctly identify the origin (title and artist) of the song lyrics quoted on the title line without looking it up (ie. cheating).
