LJ Interests meme results
- cats:
I like cats. Cats are cool. Cats are autonomous and can be fun, if they want to be. I have an amazingly cool cat I like a lot. So, you know. Cats. - dungeons and dragons:
Well, duh. From 1978 through 1992, I usually had at least one AD&D campaign going. Through time spent in other game systems (sometimes game systems I preferred) straight through, I always fell back on my D&D campaign. I didn't cotton to D&D3, though. I don't not cotton to it -- but these days there's other stuff I'd play instead. But I give props, yo. - gossamer commons:
My webcomic, done with Greg Holkan. Gossamer Commons is perhaps the online project I'm most proud of, and I'd like tens of thousands of people to read it, please. - langston hughes:
One of the finest, most evocative American poets of his era. He derived many of the rhythms and images of his poetry from jazz music and the blues, and he brought a sense of disappointment in the American dream that was palpable and resonant, even as he worked to make things better. Okay, so he was also a Communist, at least until he testified at HUAC. Look, no one's perfect. - narbonic:
The single best four panel comic strip being produced today. Read it. - religion:
I'm agnostic by temperament, but it is honest agnosticism -- I honestly don't have faith in either the existence or the non-existence of the divine, and I try to remain open to all possibilities. To that end, the study of religion and theology is the study of thought, of hope, of faith, of the human condition. Whether one looks at it as mythology -- and the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Islam and Christianity) have some of the best mythology on record -- or as a testament to the human spirit, religion is fascinating. It seems like a ridiculous thing to kill people over, though. - science fiction:
The genre I most often write in, and one of my favorites to read. Science Fiction, at its core, is speculation. "What if things were different. What if X happens in the future. What if Y happened today? What if Z happened during the American Civil War." There is a tremendous sense of freedom that derives from this exercise. The Science Fiction author is bound to no restrictions -- he can write about any topic, any time, any issue, any consideration, any character and any dream. He can make anything into a metaphor, and can make any metaphor real. - sinister bedfellows:
My favorite photo-based comic. McKenzee takes photographs and raises them to the level of koans. Dude. - steve jackson:
One of the most influential developers in RPGs. In a lot of ways, Steve Jackson is the independent/iconoclastic producer. Writer and publisher of beloved RPGs and board games, bringer of In Nomine to our shores, and darling of the EFF, Steve Jackson is, not to put too fine a point on it, the Man. - traveller:
In an era where there was Dungeons and Dragons and "everything else," Traveller was distinctive from the get-go. An evolving world and continuity a decade before White Wolf, and possessing both a sense of scope that was epic and a hard science fiction aesthetic that has never been successfully duplicated, Traveller is the finest Role Playing Game I have ever played that has a non-trivial chance for characters to die before you ever even play them.
