Tabletop RPG mechanics (dull!)
Poll Die mechanic for tabletop game.
I'm having some trouble with my core resolution mechanic, specifically the balance between ease of use and achieving my design goals, so I'm polling the interwebnet.

For mashugenah
For those not on xullrae's journal, I have been involved in a lengthy discussion with mashugenah over there. As the original post has now become very buried, and I consider it rude to keep banging on under someone else's journal (and forcing them to watch the car crash), I have attempted to move the discussion here so only those of us concerned need to play with it ( Read more... ) -

ID Cards and National Identity Databases
OK, I know I need to do a proper update, but for now, this (note: it's flash animation).
Everyone still looking forward to the anti terrorism 'benefits' of the national ID database...? -
HHGTTG
Just come back from seeing it with tejp. It would be easy to throw out a list of niggles, but first off: overall I enjoyed it.
Bad Stuff:
Important chunks of dialog removed, most notably (IMHO) "I write poetry to throw my harsh, callous exterior into sharp relief" and the bit about the Babel fish being proof of the non-existence of God.
