The River
“The River” adds 12 new tiles, that are played at the start of a game, laying out a river that divides the…

Can’t wait!
carcassonne:

A human review of the Kindle Fire – Marco.org →
My guess is that Amazon will sell enough of the Fire to justify making a better second model; this review makes me very happy I never considered getting the first one.

This is a great overview/review of the newest Player’s Options book for 4E D&D. I feel much the same way as the reviewer, just perusing this book makes me want to run some Feywild adventures.

Mac OS X Lion
Since I have a paid developer membership, I’ve been using Mac OS X Lion (10.7 for those allergic to cats) for a few months now. I did a rather foolish thing and installed it on one of my main work computers when the first beta was released, and have been using it daily ever since.
