  • RPGaDay August 19

    Best way to learn a new game? I don’t know if it’s the best way, but it works for me. After I’ve skimmed the rule book to get an idea of the mechanics and setting feel, I roll up a character. I don’t worry about min-maxing or making the “best” character for the game. Instead,…

  • Humpday Links for March 13

    The Ides of March draw ever nearer, and while you may not be worried about getting gang-stabbed at work, you could likely still use a tension reliever.  Allow my links to carry you away, O Caesar! – As part of their Centennial celebrations, the Edmonton Public Library is giving everyone free library cards!  Followers outside of…

  • Humpday Links for May 30

    May comes to an end and we slide into June, just in time for the weekend.  Have some links to get you through, and then get ready for summer! – If you’re like me and you spend a lot of time contemplating the coming zombie apocalypse, you might want to check out these homes. –…

  • Update: The Year of the Con

    Those of you in my inner circle (anyone who reads the blog even once) will know that I declared 2012 The Year of the Con.  I am still on track to attend more cons this year than I have in years past.  But as with many great plans, the exact details have changed since implementation;…

  • Humpday Links for December 21

    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…

  • 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…

  • 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,…
