In one of my early screeds, I lamented the dearth of good gaming links. Well, since then, I've found a few, now living on my home page and on my Yahoo page. I have been thinking for a while that I need to annotate them and separate the sweet from the riff-raff. And put them on my home page.
Also, every screed I've written is linked to on the left side of my home page, and it is getting unweildy. I think I have to cut back to the most recent 30 or so.
So let's get organizing! After pruning, I've chopped and sorted the worthy down to these:
GAME LINKS
The Cranky Gamer by Nexx: Lots of game analysis (including D&D), updated weekly or so.
