of Dice and Dragons

At the moment the base move has been completed and I’m in the process of cleaning up all the little details that cause you to go “oops, forgot about that.” I’m sure I’ll miss a few items here and there as I go so I would ask that if you come across something please let me know but posting it in the comments below or by sending me an email at snewbury at gmail.com.

Sorry about any issues this is causing you – moving is never easy.

May your dice roll well.

After giving it some thought I’ve decided and moved of Dice and Dragons and its new home is at http://ofdiceanddragons.newburyonline.com. The RSS feed will also be moved shortly to http://feeds2.feedburner.com/of_dice_and_dragons.

Over the course of the last six months or so my desire to post has dropped off (in case you hadn’t noticed) and while I still wish to post on the topic of role-playing games I wanted to start a new blog dealing with all the other topics I want to explore and comment on.

My apologies for all the broken links and issues that I’m sure this move will create, I’ll be working on fixing all that as I go.

May your dice roll well.

I know the title seems a bit odd but with all of the holidays currently being celebrated it felt appropriate.

My household is trying to finish last minute shopping (the ice and snow storms really messed things up) and prepare for the annual visit of the big guy in the red suit. There’s food to prep, a house to clean and presents to wrap.

Amidst all that my wife and I are trying to instill in our kids that the holidays are not just about the presents it’s about family, friends and enjoying the time we have together. The kids are accepting the words but only time will tell if the message sinks in. As the Whos in Whoville stated in the show we saw last night (and I paraphrase) . . .

“As long as there’s a hand to clasp Christmas can be celebrated.”

The story, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, really does help drive the message home – an entire town has all their presents, decorations and even their feast stolen but still can celebrate the holiday as they have what’s most important to them – family and friends.

So as you take time out from your gaming activities (you are taking a break right?), be sure to take time out of rushing from place to place to truly appreciate the most important part of the holidays – those around you.

So, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Festivus, Happy Solstice, Happy Everything!

May your dice roll well!
