Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, has passed away. He and Dave Arneson developed the game in 1974. He is survived by his wife and six children. His death was the result of long-declining health conditions. He will be missed.

Discovered from here.

Came across these links elsewhere on the net.  This was another Role Playing Game that I used to play when I was younger.  The manual is lacking materials (ie the map, the intro adventure and the counters for the map) but you should be able to wing it from there.

Playing a new game.  Feel free to give it a try.  Still trying to figure it out.  You play a mage on do research and go on adventures.  It's still early so you can get a pretty good sized jump on the game.

Here's a description grabbed from the RedMoon site:

To go along with my two previous posts about Downloading Dragon Magazine and Downloading Dragon Magazine - Part #2, here's a list of Dungeon Magazine to download.  These aren't mine and I didn't gather them.  I just found them.

The list is missing some issues. I'll come back and post them later on when I find them.

Breakfast was cool.  Had eggs, bacon, and biscuits.  I think I was the only non-church person there so i had to introduce myself a number of times but I didn't mind.  I walk by the church twice every day when I head over to UNCC.  Didn't get any pictures as my batteries died with the other breakfast this morning under the bridge.

I finally got a chance to look over the most read posts for January.  I probably should do some sort of Top Post widget in the sidebar. (edit: Done now.)

- Download Dragon Magazine and it's Part #2 article.
- Mac Desktop Wallpapers
- 50 Things NOT to do at Hogwarts (And I feel bad about that as it's not even mine.)
- Robot Chicken: Charlie Brown And The Great Pumpkin
- Download Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? (You can but not with those links.)
- Family Guy Videos - Rock Lobster
- Movable Type 4.1 gets released (*shrug* All I said was that it was released.)
- Crash on Volturnus - Chapter 1 (I really should go back and work on that. I liked writing that stuff.)
- Pairings (Another old Daria fanfiction piece that I had written way back when.)
- How to stop the irritating "Updating your computer is almost complete - Restart Now?" message

Had a nice surprise this morning when I signed onto BananaKing, one of the online games that I play.  I discovered that I've broken into the top 1,000 players, and done so with a standard account, not one of the upgraded accounts.

Of course position #900 has about 1.2 million more bananas than what I currently have so it'll take some time before I get any higher in the rankings.

FreeCol is a turn-based strategy game based on the old game Colonization, and similar to Civilization. The objective of the game is to create an independent nation. It was Sourceforge's Project of the Month for February, 2007.

Continuing on with the list of Dragon Magazines that you can download as *.pdfs not legally though of course, here's part two of that list. Please remember that none of these are mine. I've just found the links elsewhere on line.
