wargames are bad for me

Before moving to Japan, I sold my whole Warhammer 40k collection, in all its (variously) painted, unpainted, primed, and half-finished glory. Since then I occasionally get a jonesing for placing flocked trees and handmade building terrain across a table and going at it. Sometimes I make the mistake of following links to sites like France's Confrontation or the steampowered mech game,
Warmachine, and suddenly my wallet seems in dire peril. [must... resist...] (thanks, Rennie!)

Tony diTerlizzi and classic D&D monsters

The sixth entry of his series on drawings of classic D&D monsters is up. He's one of my favorite fantasy artists. His work tends toward the charming and cozy, rather than others' focus on machismo or melodrama.

sad fate

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well?
