Random RPG materials, speculations, and blather from Bradley "Brand" Robins. Be afraid, be very afraid. Now with a companion page Yudhishthira's Dice. That talks about theory.

This Is My Blog. Ben Lehman, of These are our Games. Has this here blog here. He uses it to talk about role-playing games, including the ones he is working on. Saturday, April 30, 2005.
