researched

RPG dumping ground: Deadly Maladies on 2009-02-11
-
I found these nasty things in an old dungeon description buried in my files. The Anamab Caverns were deep in a tropical jungle and inhabited by a degenerate race of reptilian humanoids. Enjoy (well maybe not enjoy...)

Birdmen and the Casual Fallacy on 2009-02-11
-
The game industry was, and still is,
distinctively hardcore. They generate their profits from
sequels and big blockbuster games. The developers are all
hardcore. The publishers are generally hardcore as well.
When a hardcore gamer looks at a
hardcore game, he sees sophistication, magnificence,
and, most important, art as if it were a mirror image
facing him. When a hardcore gamer looks as a casual game, he
sees simplicity, non-art, easiness, and, in
sum, a retardation of gaming. Hardcore view casual
games not as progress in gaming but as games tailor made for
gaming retards.

Random Bar Quality: Guest Post by Kinslayer | UncleBear on 2009-02-10
-
This is a 1D20 chart for the quality of bars, taverns, pubs, inns, and other wretched hives of scum and villainy. It is a random bar quality chart for random bar hopping.

The Dangers of Designated Love Interests - Exchange of Realities on 2009-02-05
-
People will do amazing things for the ones they love; as a result, such love can be a motivator for story characters and game characters alike. So it’s often tempting to create a character specifically for the purpose of creating a romantic attachment: a Designated Love Interest, or DLI.
That’s when the trouble starts.

Limyaael has a lot to say about the Designated Love Interest in novel format, mostly having to do with the fact that said DLI isn’t really human, strains internal consistency by how her romances begin, and is generally cliché and undercharacterized. And yet, despite these flaws, a story with a bad DLI can reach its predetermined end; it just requires the writer to completely overwrite the characters. (The fact that this is bad fictional practice is another matter entirely.)

Improving Your Putting from Six Feet on 2009-01-26
-
Many years ago there was a segment during a golf broadcast on television in which the field reporter asked numerous PGA Tour pros what percentage of 6-foot putts they made. (This was obviously in the days before StatLink). Most of the pros guessed around 85 to 90-percent.
Only Ben Crenshaw - no surprise - got it right: touring pros at that time were making only half their putts from six feet.
