The City Built around a Tarrasque!
There is a really interesting thread about a (D&D) city built around a tarrasque.http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=261519 andhttp://waelfwulf.wordpress.com/For those that don't know, in D&D the tarrasque is an immortal killing machine related to the dragons. It's immune to magic and all sorts of things that make it so it just can't be killed. It's a DM's way of ridding the world of unneeded PCs really.

Eldritch Witchery, Back to Basics
I am returning to work on Eldritch Witchery, my guide to witches and warlocks for the Spellcraft & Swordplay RPG. The idea is simple really; make a witch class for the game. But I want to do this class justice and not just do a retread of the material I have written for other games. So I am going back to school.I have been rereading old Dragon

One of the more interesting books I have been reading is "Wonder Woman: The Complete History" by Les Daniels (2000) and a related documentary "Wonder Woman: A Subversive Dream" (2009, Warner Brothers). I am struck by the parallels between the creation of this comic book character and some of our discussions on gender and public curriculum. Some of these parallels were in fact intentional by the comic's creator William Moulton Marston, a Harvard psychologist.BackgroundIn 1940 Prof. Marston wrote a pop-ed pi
