Brdo

Prenosim ovaj tekst samo zbog simpatične sličice koji ga prati:

Prior to the Fall, the Willy World thrill park was one of America’s leading vacation destinations. Beloved for its animated characters, it entranced children and drew families from all over the country.

In post apocalyptic earth, Willy World still stands, attracting a new breed of “customer.” But are the artificial denizens of Willy World still so benign?

A Darwin’s World adventure designed for a party of four 8th level characters.

O rezultatima nešto kasnije…

Pošto se skoro pojavila 3.1 verzija Movable Type-a ozbiljno sam počeo da razmišljam o nekim izmena na sajtu. Pre svega, trenutno mi najviše smeta sistem arhiviranja koji je prilično neefikasan po pitanju zauzimanja prostora - unosi se arhiviraju na tri mesta (pojedinačno, mesečno i prema kategoriji). Zbog toga sam se obradovao novom funkciojm MT-a, koja će mi umnogome pomoći u predstojećem održavanju sajta:

Flexible static and dynamic PHP publishing controllable on a per-template basis
Choose between static page generation or dynamic pages on a per-template basis. This allows you to optimize the performance of your weblog, providing you the best of both worlds: you can turn on static page generation for frequently-requested pages like your site index and feeds, and use dynamic pages for your monthly, individual, and other archive pages. This allows you to create the best balance of fast rebuilds and low web server load. Dynamic pages completely eliminate the need to manually rebuild your files; when you update the design of your archive templates, for example, the design of your site will immediately be updated without requiring you to rebuild.

Takođe, simpatično mi deluje i sledeća mogućnost:

Subcategories
The new category management interface in 3.1 gives you fine-grained control over the organization and display of your posts. You can easily create new subcategories, and move a subcategory from one parent category to another using a sleek, intuitive interface. Not only that, the subcategory support is extremely powerful, because it builds upon David Raynes’ SubCategories plugin and thus inherits all of the tags included in that plugin. David has done a great job helping us integrate the plugin into the core Movable Type engine.

Paralelno sa tehničkim izmenama, namera mi je da u skorijoj budućosti uvedem neke nove teme o kojima bih pisao (malo bih se udaljio od RPG-a koji me u poslednje vreme prilično guši), kao i da uključim još neke ljude čija se interesovanja znatno razlikuju od mojih.

P.S. Od sada možete pratiti i mobile verziju bloga na wap.undergroundhill.org.

Pomalo zamrlu domaću scenu (zlobnici bi rekli da nikada ni nije bila “živahna”) osvežio je sajt pod nazivom knights of ni. Da citiram:

Ovo je test stranica, sajt je još uvek u izgradnji. Naš e-zine je pokrenut na inicijativu članova Mensine rpg mailing liste, s ciljem da informišemo ljude širom Srbije, kao i da podignemo kvalitet rpg-a kod nas. Nadamo da će stranice ‘knights of ni.’ zaživeti i prevazići okvire u kojima su nastale…

Fantastično: e-zine, recenzije, saveti i odličan dizajn obećavaju nešto novo!
Detaljnije ću o sajtu pisati kada u potpunosti počne sa radom, a do tada vam svakako savetujem da ga stavite na vrh svoje Favorites (tj. Bookmarks) liste.

Još jedan interesantan free RPG sistem:

The Battleaxe RPG is an action adventure game with an emphasis on the action. It’s flying arrows, ringing swords, and blood soaked battlefields. It’s for those times you want to power your way through an evening of role-playing without too much story, but with a lot of detail. This is a game of elves, dwarves, orcs, and men, where war and treachery rule the day and the line between good and bad is a very fine one indeed.
Designed with kick-in-the-door gamers in mind, the Battleaxe RPG brings to life a familiar fantasy setting with familiar fantasy races so you can strap on your backpack, pick up your battleaxe, and start your adventures right away!

U poslednje vreme pažnju mi sve više privlače travel blogovi, koji predstavljaju pravu stvar za odmor od pomalo dosadnih IT i sličnih tema. Jedan od mojih favorita je svakako lonelyplanet.mytripjournal.com/athens2004:

Nathan Hegedus is a freelance journalist based in northern Europe. He spent the last three years as a reporter for the Times Herald-Record outside New York. His work has also appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Newsday, Boston Globe and Philadelphia Inquirer. He is working at the Athens Olympics as a photographer. In the mid-1990s he lived in war-torn Croatian towns for three years working in grassroots peace projects then for an American non-profit. He grew up in northern California.

Usput, pogledajte i The Wheel:

Interfable.net is an interactive storytelling site designed and run by Mark Keavney. In particular, it’s my attempt to create a method that allows me to tell interesting stories in which people can participate in a meaningful way. As far as I know, there’s no other site like this out there, so I’m doing this as kind of an experiment to see what people think of this and where it goes.

Edit: tek sam sad uočio simpatičnu temu na ES-u

Kad može otvoreni kod - može i roleplaying:

OpenRoleplaying.org is a site dedicated primarily to pen and paper, table-top, role-playing games in all their forms. More specifically, the site is a supporter and proponent of open (free) gaming in all its forms, independent publishing, and related topics.

Zanimljiva tema na Pen & Paper forumu me je odvela na http://people.umass.edu/jasperm/primeval/games/ar/index.html,
gde je moguće pročitati sledeće:

Absque Roma (without Rome) is a new role-playing game about values, goals and survival. It is about forging a new society, and holding on to the civilized way of life. The game features a unique set of rules that emphasize flexibility, player control, and the pursuit of character goals. AR is currently in open playtest, and a basic copy of the rules is freely available …
