If you’re a fan of the undead (and who isn’t) and you haven’t seen James Farr‘s Xombie, you’re cheating yourself. I had the honor of working with James on a project this year, and he’s flat-out amazing. Xombie shows why.

I’ve been tinkering with the site again. If you look at the bottom of each post, you’ll see a pair of new icons. If you click on the printer icon, the post reformats into an easy-to-print style. If you click on the e-mail icon, a pop-up window allows you to send the content of the post to a friend.

At the bottom of the sidebar, I’ve also included a plugin that permits automatic translations of the page into 11 different languages via Google. I realize that the translations will often be wonky at best, but it should make it more convenient for non-English-speakers who would like a rough idea of what I’m going on about.

Battle Dice

To cap off the week of Battle Dice previews, we have one more from the upcoming DC version of the game: Starro the Conqueror. If you thought MODOK was weird, he has nothing on the giant starfish alien who controls the minds of his victims via miniature, face-hugging versions of itself. Better yet, Starro takes the blame for the discovery of Earth-C, home to Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew!

You just can’t get much more trippy than that. Still, I enjoy Starro stories, and I read lots of Captain Carrot as a kid. I can only hope the influences don’t show too often.
