My Old Comics Blogs

  • The Recreation Annex: My collection of reflections from a since-silver-age age reader of comics. A fun blog.
  • Reflections on the Ninth Art: Primarily my formal analyses of comics and secondarily my inquiries into comics as a social construct. A more-or-less scholarly blog.

My RPG Blogs

  • Adventures in Nomm: The gameworld primer for a D&D 3.5 campaign that lasted abut eighteen months,
  • Travels in Carpathia: A record of a year-long homebrew D&D 3.5 campaign that I DMed for my sweetie and two other couples.
  • The League of Smoke and Steel: A sort-of prequel to Travels in Carpathia; this campaign was an experiment in alternating DMs that had to be ended prematurely.
  • Sandalpunk & Secrets: An as-yet unrealized homebrew gameworld.

About the title

Once upon a time in high school, I drew a picture of Edgar Rice Burroughs's creation, Tars Tarkas of Barsoom, on a piece of looseleaf paper during class; it was certainly not as well drafted as the one in the banner above, but full of exuberant energy nonetheless. The student sitting next to me looked over at this sketch of a four-armed warrior with a quizzical expression on his face; by way of explanation, I simply wrote "He is a Thark" on the page, next to the figure, presuming that would be sufficient.

Banner kiped from William Stout, who draws a much better Thark than I do and who I hope will forgive me.
