I should mention that I have watched Dr. Horrible about twenty times already and my wife has decided I am going as Dr. Horrible for Halloween. So… it’s safe to say I’m a big fan.

Since no one else has linked to it I feel I should put up a link to Dr. Horrible. In case you are the one geekish person in the world that hasn't heard about it, Dr. Horrible is a 44 minute musical made by Joss Whedon about a super villain played by NPH. Hulu - Which is what I usually watch it on Official Site

Nick sent me this article. It’s basically parody of gamers, having them discuss a cook book in the way they discuss game books.

That’s right; the full announcement came a couple months back (looks like Dumpshock links it too of course).

Rob’s done a fantastic job over the years, and here’s to hoping Peter Taylor continues doing an equally fine job in the lead.

By the way, for any Shadowrun fans who aren’t already familiar with it, Dumpshock is the unofficial official forum for Shadowrun, recommended.

According to Dumpshock Rob Boyle is stepping down. He has been doing Shadowrun for about ten years and Peter Taylor is taking over for him.

From cool and weird tech news to game ideas and character inspiration in Shadowrun or another cyberpunk setting, Rob Boyle's bookmarks is a great place to check out (Rob has been responsible for leading something like the last decade of Shadowrun).

Also Looking for Group is a fantasy D&D/WoW sort of comic with great art (and one fantastically evil warlock party member).

In Comics, Bob the Angry Flower is like Calvin & Hobbes on crack; just make sure to look at the older stuff which in my opinion trumps the newer, tall format comics. Mr. Notley makes some great gaming and geek references too.

Metaplace is neat, if you're interested in game development (literally your own development using tools and hosting by these guys); the web app/system itself doesn't appear to have made it to open beta yet though. But they have some good blog posts on occasion, president Raph Koster is a gaming luminary.

Another good site is Keith Baker’s LiveJournal page. He’s quite activate and has some very useful insights into D&D and roleplaying in general. Oh and btw he is the creator of the D&D setting Eberron.

One more for the list. Studies About Fantasy Role-Playing Games, just in case you want to look any of these up.

I'm not certain what to think of this but it does fall into the "Check it out" category. It's called Fungeon and it interested me.

Over at Transitive Property of Gaming RB had this nifty post about an ancient roman D20. You should check it out just for the picture.
