The New Yorker has a great little epistolary fiction story, relevant to Halloween, here on their site: http://www.newyorker.com/humor/2011/10/24/111024sh_shouts_semple?currentPage=all

What I like about this is a) how things slowly go awry and b) how e-mail has created a world in which most of us have had experiences somewhat like the ones described in this story.

Keeping your D&D game fantastical

Since one of my favorite pasttimes is daydreaming about playing D&D, I'm frequently reading about how to run a good game. Here's a neat post from the guy who does the 'Playing D&D with Porn Stars' blog/video/whatever stuff. Yes, his blog has a NSFW warning, but I looked and looked and couldn't find anything at all salacious on it. And I love his attitude.
