Duke Street AlleyDuke Street Alley - LiveJournal.comIn character vs. out of character- January 29, 2008 Perhaps it should bother me that I can barely get words to rhyme when I'm being me, but an NPC who hasn't even appeared yet in any of my campaigns gets to produce this.http://gothwalk.livejournal.com/531778.html Old Dragon Covers- January 17, 2008 The airship images I posted yesterday brought to mind a cover illustration for Dragon that I had seen, a long time ago.

Yesterday, there was a vague attempt at rain while I was walking home, with no hat. I felt chilly, rained on, somewhat soaked, and rather put out, despite the fact that I was heading home for a few hours of EVE before watching the first episode of the new season of Torchwood (review coming up on dukestreet later today).This morning, I wore my winter hat, a black trilby-sort-of-thing, through the driving rain..http://gothwalk.livejournal.com/529972.html Manned Cloud- January 16, 2008 Manned Cloud is a flying hotel proposed by French designer Jean-Marie Massaud.I want this to be built. For one thing, it looks exactly like the space whales on the cover of Dragon that made me buy Spelljammer, yea, these many moons ago.http://gothwalk.livejournal.com/529832.html |
