e’s Feed Favorites - 5/14/08
Welcome to another edition of e’s Feed Favorites. We begin this week with a tribute to all of us who grew up in the 80s:
D&D Nerd posts A Beginner’s Guide to Creating a D&D Character. Very helpful information for any newbies out there.
*
XKCD wonders if it’s best to take the road less traveled by… will it make all the difference?
*
Gloria from Girls Don’t Game has an excellent write-up (including YouTube links) to some hot Mario Paint action!
*
Yax’s contest at Dungeon Mastering is almost at its end! Sign up now for a chance to win the 4e core books!
*
Speaking of Yax, I’ll be losing my GenCon virginity this August with him and Phil (from Chatty DM). Mmmmm…. geeky goodness. Won’t you join us?
*
Bankuei of Deeper in the Game has a thought-provoking post on savage vs. civilized races.
*
Props to Graham of Critical Ankle Bites and his group - they built a Fort of Ogre Decapitation. Definitely a better choice than Fort Itoodsave!
*
Your WTF moment of the week is brought to you by Dave of Critical Hits. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
*
Phil of Chatty DM bids adieu to 3.5 in a pretty crazy way…
*
Mike at BingeGamer hints that in the near future we may be writing our own Guitar Hero songs…

The Ladybug’s Picnic!! OMG thank you!!!! I LOVED that!!
*ahem* I mean ‘cool, great memories :)’
*scrolling back up to read the rest of the post now*
Every time I have to count to 12, I ALWAYS want to say, “The ladybugs 12, at the ladybug picnic!” afterwards. Sesame Street brainwashed us all….
One day, when we’re all old geezers, a no-name corporation is going to introduce a useless product with that song (sans lyrics) as its jingle, and we’re all going to buy it regardless of its uselessness…
No, we didn’t build the Fort of Ogre Decapitation (FoOD), we raided it.
The next session is where we took it over and renamed it. (It was Fort Rannick. The party devised a much better name.)
for me it’s a tossup between theladybugs and the pinball one
(one of the jazz combos in high school did a version of that….it was a total hit & so much fun 
)
hmmmm….good marketing plan there
….oh dear, it’s stuck in my head again
Thanks for the love E! ^_^
I hope that article (a 2-parter [I hope], second will be coming soon) helps out anyone who has an interest in playing D&D, but doesn’t want to commit to buying books.
And don’t worry, I’ll be making mention of the SRD, so that people who don’t want to commit to buying the books yet at least have a resource they can refer to.
