The Sunday Miscellanea - Cthulhu Deck Box, Twisted Knights, & Halloween Projects

Over on etsy.com, LacersEdge is selling a lovely "Cthulhu - H. P. Lovecraft - Magic the Gathering Deck Box or Dice Box - MTG - Personalized Trading Card Game Box Engraved Cherry Wood."  Check it out here.

Also, on distractify.com, look at the army build by one guy with some talent and a whole load of twist-ties here.

Finally, on the epicfantasy (StormtheCastle.com) YouTube channel, last year Will gathered a compilation of his past projects that would be suitable for Halloween as he kicked off a week's worth of new videos for the holiday.  Since most of us need more time than a week to get such projects on the schedule, gather the supplies, and find time to implement them, I thought I'd mention them in early August.  Enjoy!

Nostalgia Thursday - Early D&D Monsters

As part of the Gary Con VII celebration, Paul Stormberg and Kevin Maurice set up their history of early gaming which included information on the dime store toys that helped inspire early D&D monsters.  A series of pictures I took of this display begins here on Google Plus.

After returning from the convention I noted that the 2013 blastr.com article here on such toys was circulating again.

But if you're going to read that, click through the link at the bottom which takes you to the source they used, an article on the subject from Tony DiTerlizzi here.
