Some favorite things of mine...

Today's post is going to be a rather short one, just a few of my favorite D&D related links...

Videos:

Chris Perkins DM Commentary: This is Chris Perkins commentary about the game he ran for the writers/talent behind Robot Chicken. He gives a ton of insight into how he runs his games and you will learn a lot from this guy...

The PAX live Penny Arcade/PVP/Wil Wheaton games:


I can't say enough about these, you won't really learn as much, but they are great entertainment - I think they're hilarious and entertaining

Gamers: Dorkness Rising This is the 2nd in the "Gamers" series, and I think the best of the two... Here's a link to the first part of the first Gamers as well - check them out for a laugh!


Webcomics:

Order of the Stick: The art style is all stick figures, but the story and jokes are great... definitely enjoyed (and still enjoying) this one...

DM of the Rings: This one isn't still going, but it's worth going back to read. It's basically the idea of what might happen if a DM were to run the Lord of the Rings as a typical D&D game - not only is the comic great, but his comments to go along with the panels are good.

Looking for Group: Roughly D&D based comic - quite funny... worth the read

Table Titans: Fairly new comic from Scott Kurtz - quite funny!


Books:

A Song of Ice and Fire (link to the first 4 books): The only bad thing I can really say about these books is that George RR Martin has been taking a long time to finish the series... There's also a successful HBO show as well... These are completely worth the time to read!

Sword of Truth (link to first 3 books): I really like this series, I started reading it while it was still coming out, and really grew to like it. The later books in the series get a little dicey, but his most recent addition "The Mother Confessor" is a great addition to the series. 

Wheel of Time (link to first book): I actually just got into this series, I'm currently working my way through the 2nd book and really loving the series... the final book in the series was just released recently: "A Memory of Light"...



Podcasts:

"Nerd Poker: Dungeons and Dragons with Brian Posehn and Friends" Is an excellent D&D podcast, it's quite entertaining and you'll get a good laugh (fair warning, they are quite loose with the rules so if you're a rules stickler you might not be as into it)

"Critical Hit": Another podcast of a group playing D&D - worth the listen - a LOT of back episodes so it's quite an undertaking

Until next time

Your Humble DM,
