Long Live Rock and Roll
I'm thrilled to announce that Rock Block is coming back to Funeratic! The game will launch at 10am Eastern on September 6, next Saturday. There should be a lot of concert activity over the debut weekend. Go »Whistling Dixie
A number of people wrote yesterday about the 148th anniversary of Appomattox, when General Lee surrendered to General Grant and the Confederate States of America laid down for good. It's been a century and a half, and the memory of the Confederacy is stil Go »Letterman vs. White House
In case you missed it, the Late Show played a clip of a boy less than interested at a Bush fundraiser. When the White House told CNN that the Late Show had made the whole thing up, that's when Dave went on the defensive. Go »Prince

I used to play role-playing games a lot back in high school. They were fun, but I have trouble getting in to anything very much, and after a while I lost interest. Why am I playing so many of them these days?
Not counting my own on the web, which is on temporary hiatus, I'm playing in a D&D 3rd edition game, a BESM game, and starting in two weeks, I'll be running a Marvel Super Heroes campaign. (And I stopped reading comic books before I stopped playing RPGs, so my Marvel Universe is sort of permanently frozen at 1995.)
All of these games are with the same group of friends, so I think it's just that they love to play and I join them in that activity. If I asked most of my other friends to game, I'd get a flat no. It's hard enough just talking people into playing Survivor.
