Scott Carter's adventure for Testament is out at last! Looks really nice. EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - Press - [HMP] No Other Gods - An Adventure for Testament now available!
I'm so excited that my Indian sourcebook, Sahasra: Land of 1,000 Cities, is out. Here's the announcement on EN World. I really don't think I've seen a PDF this attractively laid out and illustrated, and the cover is amazing.

From the Dungeon to the Dictionary - What a fascinating site! See? D&D is good for expanding your vocabulary. Is there nothing it can't do? (Well, yeah, but I was making a point for comic effect here.)

Unknown Armies. Ein Rollenspiel um Macht und Konsequenzen - Home Cool cover, the German version of UA.
I Am A: Neutral Good Half-Elf Ranger Fighter
Alignment:
Neutral Good characters believe in the power of good above all else. They will work to make the world a better place, and will do whatever is necessary to bring that about, whether it goes for or against whatever is considered 'normal'.
Race:
Half-Elves are a cross between a human and an elf. They are smaller, like their elven ancestors, but have a much shorter lifespan. They are sometimes looked down upon as half-breeds, but this is rare. They have both the curious drive of humans and the patience of elves.
Primary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.
Secondary Class:
Fighters are the warriors. They use weapons to accomplish their goals. This isn't to say that they aren't intelligent, but that they do, in fact, believe that violence is frequently the answer.

My comments: Okay, I get neutral good and half-elf. I don't get Ranger. That definition sounds more like a druid than a ranger.

Word to road crews: Tuscaloosa is over 1,000 miles thataway - The Boston Globe - Boston.com - Local - News - and it's really sad that people didn't notice. Or don't know the shape of Alabama. Heck, I know the shape of Massachusetts!
The Official Geek Test - I scored 1075 on this one, which makes me a Level 5 geek. Was there ever any doubt?

Huzzah! I've been upgraded from Provisional Affiliate to Affiliate of the Horror Writers Association! The approval came as a result of my Rolling the Bones RPG supplement (see my home page for purchasing information).
I'm currently working on a setting proposal for Dog Soul Publishing. More as it develops, but you can find clues in recent links I've posted.

Caitlin Kiernan's home page I'm currently reading Kiernan's Threshold (out of order, since I read Low Red Moon first). Highly recommended. Lovecraftian in a subtle way. Knowing where the Birmingham locations are that she references makes it that much scarier.

Night Stalker (2005) - TV Series - TV Tome
This is one of those times I'll have to completely forget the old series when looking at the new one. But they're putting it on Thursday night opposite CSI, so doesn't sound like they're serious about it anyway. Playing Kolchak is a guy who was originally supposed to play Aragorn but was thought too young. Oh dear. In other words, NOTHING like the Kolchak of the books.
Oh, well. Just found out that there's a 5-DVD box set of all the Kolchak eps...

May is a month in which falls of various strange kinds have occurred throughout history, according to the esteemed Charles Fort. Here is a list of them, taken from The Book of the Damned in The Complete Books of Charles Fort, Dover, 1974.
- May 1652 - fall of viscous mass with a luminous meteorite between Siena and Rome
- May 1830 - fall of red ("vegetable") matter in rain, Siena, Italy
- May 1858 - fall of great numbers of beetle larvae, "inanimate as if with cold," Mortagne, France
- April 30, May 1 & May 2, [1856?] - fall of reddish to yellowish substance, carbonized, "spread the odor of charred animal matter", France and Spain
- May 1, 1863 - fall of red meal mixed with fine sand, Perpignan
- May 3, 1877 - fall of masses of ice "large as a man's hand, killing thousands of sheep," Texas
- May 3, 1884 - black rain at Crowle, England, near Worcester, accompanied by earthquakes
- May 8, 1802 - fall, during a storm, of a "mass of ice 3' long, 3' wide, and more than 2' thick", Hungary
- May 11, 1894 - fall of a small piece of alabaster, Vicksburg, Miss.; 8 miles away in Bovina, Miss., fall of a gopher turtle, both in a hailstorm
- May 12, 1811 - fall of lumps of ice, a foot in circumference, Derbyshire, England
- May 14, 1849 - ink-colored rain, fetid odor and "very disagreeable taste", Ireland
- May 14, 1864 - fall of "twenty masses, some of them as large as a human head, of a substance that 'resembled a dull-colored earthy lignite'", Montauban, France
- May 16, 1833 - fall of dead and dry fish, Futtepoor, India
- May 16 or 17, 1834 - fall of dead, dry fish (or fish-shaped objects), Allahabad, India
- May 18, 1883 - fall of 'a number of stones of peculiar formation and shapes, unknown in this neighborhood' in a tornado, Hillsboro, Ill.
- May 22, 1884 - fall of flinty stones, Bismarck, [North] Dakota
- May 27, 1884 - peculiar stone "'very like the fourth part of a large Stilton cheese'" found near a fall of a meteorite
I think that pretty well covers the subject for the month of May.
