 |
RPG.net -- Reviews,
columns, and other coverage of roleplaying games and related issues.
|
| |
 |
The Institute of
Official Cheer -- The website of James Lileks (of Gallery
of Regrettable Food fame), in which midcentury and slightly
later pop-culture is expertly sliced, diced, grated, Re-Ironized
(patent pending) and sprinkled over bits of smart-ass commentary for
your delectation.
|
| |
Music and Art
 |
Elfwood -- Immense
archive and Net community of amateur and pro artists and their works.

How to Draw
Manga -- Julie Dillon's free tutorials, once hosted on their
own site, now appear here.
|
| |
 |
Stephanie Pui-Mun Law
-- Droolworthy art. |
| |
 |
Melissa Uran
-- Ditto, ditto; her art is more manga/anime-flavored.
|
| |
 |
Rebecca Guay --
Talent to just make ya sick. You can also view some
of her work at purpleglitter.com.
|
| |
 |
Tony DiTerlizzi
-- Back when I was mucking around with watercolor pencils over ink
line-drawings (not that I've given up on that necessarily, mind you)
THIS is what I really meant but never even got in the same zip code as.
|
| |
 |
Bowed Electricity
-- All about electric violins/fiddles: makers, players, and resources.
|
| |
 |
Lili Haydn --
Bodacious electric violin-ing.
|
| |
 |
Carla
Kihlstedt -- Likewise. Now a member of Sleepytime
Gorilla Museum and formerly a member of Charming Hostesses,
two very good things.
|
| |
 |
Medieval Baebes
-- A fun and creative blend of medieval and modern elements, plus great
vocals.
|
| |
 |
Mr. Bungle --
There's no really compact term to describe Bungle music. There's a kind
of killer-clown-rock theme on one album, a California-dreamin' theme on
another one...oh, I don't know. Anyway, I assure you there's nothing
quite like it.
|
| |
 |
Circus Contraption
-- You got evil on my circus! You got circus on my evil! Who cares
whose fault it is, they're two great tastes that taste great together.
|
| |

Sourcebook, Netserf, and Labyrinth.
|
| |
 |
Medieval Names
Archive -- I am so prostratingly grateful for the
anal-retentiveness of the SCA heralds. A lifesaver site for authors of
medieval fiction or RPGers in medieval settings.
|
| |
 |
Mediev-L Archives
-- Archives for one of the big-daddy medievalist mailing lists.
|
| |
Feminism and Politics
 |
Heartless Bitches
International -- I could spend hours here. Plus if you apply
and pass the membership "exam" you can get an official Heartless Bitch
ID card, which you know you always wanted just to
satisfy the doubters on that point.
|
| |
 |
Bitch Magazine
-- Its website is an adjunct to its print magazine. Similar name to
HBI, and its approach is also well-spiced with humor, but a little more
in-depth (it being a nice fat print quarterly).
|
| |
 |
The
Rebuttal from Uranus -- A dissection of the (oh, let's go
ahead and dignify it with the term) theory of male/female relations
espoused by John Gray of Mars and Venus fame. As
you can guess from the title, she doesn't exactly go easy on him. :-)
|
| |
 |
Andrea
Dworkin Homepage -- Her name is regularly and casually tossed
out whenever someone's trying to make convenient shorthand for
"sex-negative neo-puritan" or "shrill humorless feminist" or "ugly
hairy-legged dyke who needs a real lay" or "the kind of feminist I'm not,
thank you very much." Most of these cuss-word usages of her name seem
to come from people who've never read her. You owe it to yourself to at
least see what the fuss is about before you judge. And whether you
totally agree with her, totally disagree, or fall somewhere in the
uneasy middle after reading her work, you can't deny that no one writes
about patriarchy and the eroticization of violence like she does. Plus
she has one of the lowest BS-factors I've encountered in any nonfiction
author anywhere, and that alone is saying a lot. (P.S. -- she never
said "all intercourse is rape," either.)

Hilary
Doda's Columns at RPG.net -- Including the infamous
"GamerGrrl's Manifesto." :-)
|
| |
 |
Mothers
Ought to Have Equal Rights -- You'd think it would go without
saying, but it doesn't.
