Notice!
Just so you (whomever you are) know, apparently my blog crashed at some point in the night last night and the template disappeared. So, this morning I went to make a post and was faced with a blank page. *sigh* I picked a new look for the page (hope you like it...not that it really matters) with a little more color. Luckily I was able to grab a cached copy of the blog from Google so all of the links and the news banner, and etc. will slowly but surely make a return to the page.
Edit: At this point, I am pretty sure that I have recaptured everything from the old page. Thank for Google and its cache function. Welcome, or welcome back, to Dorkland. Please be sure to look around and check out any of the many sites that have been linked to from here. The "Dork Links" are my permanent links, semi-regularly tested to make sure that they are not broken. They are a number of different things, from websites of strangeness, to game company sites and designer blogs.
Autonomedia is a favorite site of mine, they publish the books that most publishers are afraid of. I got a copy of one of my favorite books from them a couple of months ago. T.A.Z. is a great resource for GMs, particularly those running a "dark future" or perhaps a "post apocalyptic" game. It is full of ideas that you will never find in an RPG supplement. I am going to utilize ideas from it for my upcoming Call of Cthulhu game.

Here's a nice blog that I found through the Fudge RPG mailing list. There has been a lot of talk on their about LiveJournal and Blogs, and using them for gaming. Personally, I prefer to go with blogs...they are fun and free. I like blogs that don't have an agenda to them, and yet manage to stick to a topic...which this one seems to do.

An interesting blog. There are entries on synaesthesia and graffiti that are interesting. I have used graffiti in contemporary games as vevers and magical writing for ritualized spell-casting. Hopfully, they will be more active in their postings. Of course, they seem to put a bit more effort in their postings than I do.

Dictionary of Victorian London
An excellent resource for the Victorian gamer and GM, particularly for Call of Cthulhu games. An incredibly well researched and worked out site that is part dictionary, part quote book, and part atlas. The very well scanned and highly detailed maps alone are worth checking out this site. However, the maps...due to their level of detail and quality are quite big, so downloading might be a pain if you have a low-speed connection. All in all, a very good site.
Dictionary of Victorian London - Victorian History - 19th Century London - Social History
The entire website is available from the site's creator as a CD-Rom, for only $25 for us Americans, a good potential investment just to have all of this stuff in one place. Many RPG supplements aren't this well thought/worked out.

National Games Week (Site Goes Live 10/15/04)
It looks to me as if some of the other publishers (apparently White Wolf will be involved) are counter programing D&D Game Day. Personally, I think its a good thing. The more exposure to gaming the better, and higher of a profile of other game system besides just D&D promotes diversity in the big old happy international gaming community.

Nice article, I love the quote.

Welcome
Hello. Just on the off chance that you are new to this place, I thought that I would send out a quick hello, and welcome you to Dorkland. Dorkland is what is know as a web log, or blog for short. These things have been around for a while, and different people use them for different things. I first heard of them after reading Rebecca Blood's book The Weblog Handbook.
A lot of blogs are used by their owners as personal journals, people talking about what they did with themselves each and everyday. Frankly I am not interested enough in my life to want to read about it, and I live it. So, I throw up links to things that I come across while websurfing and the occasional rant about something (politics is beginning to piss me off these days) but mostly the blog is just about those things that catch my eye for some reason or another that I think might come in handy later, or may be of interest to the handful of people who check this site.
I think that keeping a blog is a simple and very easy way for someone who wants to have a presence on the internet to do so, without a lot of time or effort. If you are interested in having your own blog, check out the Blogger site, it is who I use...and it is very easy.
