In the comments of the most recent DM of the Rings, I found this webcomic, which has this great strip about roleplaying dice.
Look at them! So colorful. I must have them all!

This Korean title would be the greatest MMO ever made if not for the horrendous monetization system. And the embarrassing translation. And the terrible progression. And the developer's general apathy towards its western audience.
Revisiting a Dead Engine
I wanted to take the file format of a late 90s shooter and read it in modern-day Unity. This is the result.

Quakecon 2011 Keynote Annotated

From everyone at dOrange, THANK YOU for the plug, Shamus! We really appreciate it!
Funny that you should mention our comic in the same week that I plugged your comic in my personal blog. Must be good dice karma!
Thanks for bringing us DM of the Rings! It’s well-loved by our gaming group.
