  • Friday Linkdump for December 6

    Back when Renaissance Gamer was still Renaissance Dork, I used to do a weekly link post of stuff I found around the internets I thought was cool and interesting. I want to get back to that, because I’m still finding cool gaming stuff to share, as well as things that are…let’s call them “gaming adjacent”.…

  • 30 Days of Game Mastering, Day Twenty

    Two-thirds of the way through, gentle readers. After today a scant ten entries lie between us and the end of the 30 Days of Game Mastering Challenge. I really hope you’ve found some of these posts useful. When this is over you’ll be able to read all these entries in one of two ways: either…

  • Card Hunter

    Largely because of Facebook I became a fan of browser based games. Something about there simplicity tapped into both my mildly obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and my love of the simple arcade games of my misspent youth. I try not to take on too many at once, however, because, well, obsessive-compulsive. If I have things to get…

  • The State of the Tabletop Industry, and Why It Really Doesn’t Matter

    Maybe it’s because fall is coming, and the threat of winter right behind; maybe it’s because the latest burst of game releases are behind us. But this is the time of year, it seems, when every game blogger and vlogger wants to speculate on that age-old (in this case, age-old would be defined as 39…

  • My Dice Obsession

    I love dice. “Well duh, Brent. You’re a gamer, of course you love dice.” Well sure, but I reeeeeally love dice. When I was 12 I typed a program into my VIC 20, in Basic, that allowed me to apply a chi-squared test to my dice. I then rolled each of my dice 100 times, entering each…

  • Humpday Links for January 30

    Another week another Humpday!  I promise, there are real posts that will start appearing soon.  But I’ve been battling illness and free-time entropy in roughly equal measure. One of the things taking up my time lately is fundraising for the Stollery Hair Massacure; you may remember me mentioning it before.  I did something nerdy in…

  • Humpday Links for January 2

    One thing that won’t be going away in 2013 is Humpday Links, because, a) I’m always finding cool/disturbing/cool stuff on the internets I want to share, and b) I’m lazy.  So love ’em or hate ’em, here are your first Humpday Links of the year! – I need a pair of these (keep it clean,…

  • Humpday Links for April 11

    Good morrow, fair gentles!  The apex of the weekly grind is upon us, as we struggle through to the downhill slide into the weekend.  Please let these links ease your passage… – If I were a teacher, this is the sort of thing that would get me in trouble.  And I’d be okay with that.…

  • Humpday Links for January 25

    Happy Robert Burns Day!  While you wait for your haggis to cook I hope you’ll enjoy these wee timorous links… – It is time once again for Paizo’s RPG Superstar Challenge, and the 32 competitors have been chosen! – I’ve long suspected that Mark Wahlberg is America’s secret weapon…now I know for sure. – Nothing…

  • 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…
