Gaming
I do a lot of gaming as well as comics. Below are some of my favorite gaming links.
Run by the infamous Baldman himself (who also goes by David Christ), Baldman Games coordinates all the D&D gaming at DDXP, Origins, and GenCon. He is also hosting Ashes of Athas - a living D&D 4E campaign set in the desert world of Athas.
Critical Hits is a journal of gamer culture and covers everything of importance to roleplaying gamers. I am particular fond of the many journals on the site, written by some big names in the industry. My favorite is Know your Roll by Shawn Merwin. Updates daily.
A witty and entertaining podcast by Justin and Ian. Join them as they discuss role-playing, board, and card games. They provide reviews, gaming tips, and news.
The best in 3rd party role-playing products by Creighton Broadhurst. He publishes affordable, high-quality products designed for easy use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game that are constantly getting rave reviews. New RPG material added weekly.
