New Preview for KenzerCo's Hacklopedia of Beasts
If you're on the fence about picking up the newest offering from KenzerCo, check out this seven page preview of the Owlbeast that was recently posted on their website. I've already got my copy pre-ordered and will be posting an in-depth review of the book as soon as I get it in (or right after GenCon, depending on when it comes in).
Feel free to sound off in the comments section with your opinions of the preview!

Dark Tower Canceled
Movies based on Stephen King's books usually suck. Not always, but it's a general rule. I can't explain it and I certainly don't blame the source material.
So with that being said I'm not sure how to feel now that plans to make Stephen King's epic Dark Tower series into three feature films and two miniseries have fallen through. It seems that despite the promise of the project, the cost is simply too staggering and risky for Universal to commit to.
If you are a fan of the Dark Tower series who hopes to one day see it appear on screen then not all hope is lost. Howard's production company Imagine Entertainment is going to be pitching the idea to other studios. We'll see if any of them feel that Dark Tower is worth a big (and expensive) leap of faith.

Game of Thrones: Brienne of Tarth Cast
Writer George Martin announced recently that the part of Brienne of Tarth will be played by Gwendoline Christie. Christie is a British actress of considerable size (6'3) which makes her a good fit for the Maid of Tarth. According to Martin the casting of Christie was easy and he believes that she will thrive alongside the rest of the cast.

Weird Board Games
Most people who like RPGs also enjoy board games. I am big fan of Arkham Horror, Talisman, Battles of Westeros, and many others. That having been said, those are normal board games. I'm not sure that I would enjoy bizarre board games like Ghettopoly. That is one of only five controversial games that yahoo recently listed on their plugged in feature. Reading about some of these really made me wonder how they made it past the conception phase!

A Game of Thones is #1
A Game of Thones was not a number one best seller when it was released in 1996. Fast forward to today, and not only will you find it atop the NY Times best seller list, you will find the sequels on the list as well. I think we can be fairly confident that in a couple of weeks we will see a fifth book from the A Song of Ice and Fire series on that list as well!
