  • Quiz Winners!

    Thanks to everyone that submitted an entry to my Centurion Quiz.  It was highly entertaining to see how much, and how little, you know about me.  The time has come to announce the three winners, but first the answer key: Let’s start with an easy one: I changed my Twitter handle to match my blog…

  • Humpday Links for December 14

    Trying to wrap up a few projects around here, so I can properly enjoy the holiday season.  But as busy as I am, I would never forget the humpday links; some traditions must never die!  Onward! – John Kovalic created the delightful toy My Little Cthulhu.  Then this guy made a 3D animated short with…

  • Dorky Thoughts

    I am tied up with other projects today, so today’s post is going to be another “daily digest”; I’m going to pop in here throughout the day as postable things pop into my head.  I won’t blame you if you wait until later to read, but hey, it would also be cool if you popped…

  • My Centurian!

    Welcome to the One Hundredth Post here on Renaissance Dork!  It’s a pretty exciting day around here; one hundred posts means I can finally sit back and let the sweet syndication money flow in, right guys?  Guys? Right? Seriously, I’m really happy to have made it to one hundred posts.  This is officially the longest…

  • Nerd Events Update

    Even though people are busy with the holidays, there are still plenty of nerd events on tap.  Here are the ones I know about: Game Day for Cthulhu Come and join your fellow gamers at Happy Harbor Comics (10729 104 Ave) for an afternoon of gaming on Sunday, December 11th.  The games will run from…

  • Con Game Update

    I posted a little while back about 2012 being my Year of the Con; attending cons is my priority for 2012.  Well I recently hit my first snag in my Year of the Con, and I won’t be attending Futurecon as originally planned.  It makes me very sad, because Liana K. and her gang have…

  • Gaming on a Budget

    It can be rough if you are a gamer on a budget.  To get the shiny source-books for your favourite RPG or the latest cool euro-boardgame, stores would prefer you traded them currency for their product.  And if you lack the required currency (say, because you were laid off seven months ago) you are not…

  • Humpday Links for November 30

    Posting has been giving me issues here on the blog lately, but some conversations with the helpdesk seem to have sorted out the issue.  Rather than slam you with three posts today, though, I’m just going to go ahead with my regular schedule of links.  I’ll post what would have been Monday and Tuesday on,…

  • The Dork Round-up!

    It’s been a relatively eventful time for this Renaissance Dork, so I thought I’d recap a few developments from the past several days.  Seems like a good way to get this cold, dark Monday started… *     *     * The Pure Speculation Festival was a lot of fun this past weekend; those of you who made…

  • NaNoWriMo Will Not Orphan the Blog

    If you read my previous post, you know that NaNoWriMo is upon us!  I want to assure my tens of readers that my participation in that will not slow down blog entries at all.  I’ve found, as have other writers have, that the more I write the more I am able to write, limited only…
