A deviation from cannon

The DM of the Rings comic had been pretty much a retelling of the Lord of the Rings as if a D&D adventure with the PCs grumbling as they were railroaded through the plot of the books. At this point though the train jumped the track.

RPG Humor

Vecna
It helps to have a little background here: Vecna was a lich (an evil wizard who used his power to prolong his life after death) who went on to become a god. Along the way Vecna lost an eye and a hand. These lost body parts became powerful magical artifacts.

Which brings us to the tale of:

The Head of Vecna


The Gazebo
This is a pretty old story. I think I might have even read about it in college. Read on for:

The Dread Gazebo


The Gamers
Dorkness Rising is the movie I was watching.

The Gamers is it's lower budget predecessor (watchable on line though).

On the agrarian roots of civic leadership

ZOMG-bies in RPGs (etc.)

A wide variety of RPGs represent zombies in one way or another. Upon request I could supply some information about how zombies are or could be represented in various generic and/or rules-lite systems. The following are a few of the better known representations:

D&D Zombies - from d20 v. 3.5.

All Flesh Must Be Eaten - Wikipedia entry and reviews.

World of Darkness Zombies

• Zombie: the Coil - IIRC Old World of Darkness fan supplement.
• Promethean: The Created - New World of Darkness gameline. Prometheans aren't exactly zombies or golems, but sort of Frankenstein-ish monsters. Wikipedia entry here, review here.

Lovecraftian zombies:

• Herbert West: Reanimator (story)
  
• The Deanimator (short video game)
• Ghouls - Not technically zombies or undead in this representation (more detailed info here).
