A great guide for verification of the TREASURE/CRAP from the Internet

Ever get some newsbit from someone like "Wave the Dave" and wonder, "Does he/she believe this is real?" Well, beside the usual trip to www.snopes.com to double check a long-running chain-letter rumor, for more recent/current events, take a look at the " Verification Handbook" ( pdf link !!) is a collection of short chapters about how-to-verify-social-media- information. This handbook is edited by Craig Silverman of the Poynter Institute and the creator of the blog Regret the Error . EXAMPLE: Chapter 4, "Verifying Images," discusses getting EXIF data from an image, as well as using other corroborating information such as weather conditions (was the picture actually taken on the day claimed... did you know it was raining that day?)

Moon Patrol in ASCII. It runs in HTML5, Linux, Windows and something called FreeDOS. Get it here! ( link ) NOW!! Or play it NOW ( link )

So one day, when I do play, I want to move quickly through the boring combat and get to the exciting stuff like spending the whole night's session in town shopping for provisions, how much rope to get, mead, and material components for spells.... ha ha... no. I mean get to the exciting final battles!! This narrative combat ( PDF ) seems like a great idea to streamline the game session to get to the good stuff as well as letting the players get some creativity get into beating up the inconsequentials minions to get the Big Bad. A description of use ( here ) And to maybe start the fight - here's some inflammatory words: Gandalf was just a fighter with INT 18! ...
