A Klingon Christmas Carol

Greenhouse Theater Center 2257 N Lincoln Ave., Chicago

The first play ever to be produced entirely in the Klingon language, the Twin Cities phenomenon A Klingon Christmas Carol has finally come to Chicago. Scrooge has neither honor nor courage in this uproarious twist on the classic holiday tale. Can the visits of three spirits help him to become a true warrior in time to save Tiny Tim from a horrible fate? Find out in Commedia Beauregard’s melding of Charles Dickens’ morality tale with the language and culture of the Star Trek warrior race. Performed “in the original Klingon” (with English subtitles provided for the benefit of audience members who don’t speak the language), this bizarre hit has earned itself a following of both Trek devotees and novices alike.

From Dorkly.com comes a graphic of 15 people you see at every nerd convention. They left off old, fat, Sailor Moon Guy, however, I think they nailed the rest.

I know we are a little late to the ballgame here, but it’s a great article on the CDC preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse.

I love the Escape Artists collection of podcasts: Escape Pod, Pseudopod, and PodCastle. For some reason, although I read a lot, I have never really enjoyed reading short fiction. These podcasts allow me to experience some great short fiction in a format that I enjoy consuming them. Often when I am listening to a story, I will think that some element would be great to incorporate in to a game.

Recently, however, on PodCastle, I listened to the story Card Sharp, by Rajan Khanna. From the moment that  I first learned how the magic in this story worked, I wanted to create a character that used a deck of cards like this.

Regardless, I urge you to listen to Card Sharp and let it inspire your next game.

How about this for a munchkined shotgun!?
