The Blog
When you have a collection of 200+ RPGs, sooner or later you find yourself with the urge to make 200+ characters.
This blog started off as a collection of the characters I create during this project.
The goal is to create two characters for each game I own. One “standard” starting character, and one “sufficiently advanced” character to see what an experienced character would look like.
I have a few games where the character creation process requires some interaction with other players in the game – in those cases I’ll try to work with someone or a group of persons on various forums to complete the task.
The blog has also become the repository for all my other RPG pursuits – house rules, commentary on games we are playing, and currently the home to my home-brew game, Adventures in the New Kingdoms.
The Author
I’m Dyson. I’ve been gaming since 1978 in a variety of game systems, but most often playing Dungeons & Dragons (particularly Moldvay Basic). But that’s not to say I haven’t played other games along the way, with dalliances in science fiction, cyberpunk, urban fantasy, and other game settings.
I’ve even included a page about my 25 favourite games if you want a more concise history of my top RPGs.
Currently we are playing a *lot* of RPGs in my various groups that I game with regularly.

While this maybe a viral marketing campaign for a £200 fan, it really is one neat video involving a balloon, and these were the successful attempts in a 2 minute video. (Please do not attempt this at home)

The company that revolutionised vacuum cleaners has taken aim at another household item, the fan.
British company Dyson has created a fan that uses suction and acceleration, rather than rotating blades, to expel air.
Not only is it bladeless, but it is small and compact and can be used to distribute both hot and cold air. However, you will pay for the privilege.

James Dyson may be the man when it comes to British inventing but if you can't aford the latest Dyson vacuum then it seems there's a DIY version:
"James Dyson may have built eleventy billion prototypes to perfect his famous cyclonic vacuum, but sometimes just one will do the trick.
A cyclonic separator is used in workshops to keep larger cruft out of the dust collection system. The airflow inside a separator creates a vortex that flings heavier bits and particles to the periphery of the chamber, where they settle out the bottom, while relatively clean air escapes the vacuum port at the top. This makes for fewer filter changes and a more consistent pull from the vacuum.
You can go buy a fancy professionally-made separator, but [neorazz] shows how to create one from an assemblage of PVC fittings and a five gallon bucket. The design may lack the power and slick design of the big units, but for garage hack use this may be all you ever need. They demonstrate it to be about 95% effective, and it’s very simple to make. A prior cyclonic separator hack appeared a bit more work-intensive, but the principle is all the same. It all comes down to what skills you possess and what parts you have on hand."James Dyson may be the man when it comes to British inventing but if you can't... more

In what looks like a ring stuck on top of the inside of a toilet roll, Sir James Dyson unveils his latest product - the bladeless desk fan.
If you've used on his Airblade hand-dryers it uses the same technology. The fan also has an energy-efficient motor at its base, meaning it has a low centre of gravity and does not topple over.
He claims this makes it greener and safer.
What do you think of it?In what looks like a ring stuck on top of the inside of a toilet roll, Sir James Dyson... more

A 'folding bike' invention has won student Dominic Hargreaves a shot a grabbing the James Dyson Award for innovation and £10,000.
The Contortionist bicycle was created by Dominic, a 24-year-old from Battersea, London, as a new way to roll one's folding bike along, after his previous one collapsed.
"I couldn't find a folding bicycle I liked," Dominic exaplined. "I wanted something that could take a bit of punishment and that you could have fun with, so I made one myself."A 'folding bike' invention has won student Dominic Hargreaves a shot a... more

A motor that's ten times quicker than the one found in a Boeing 747 engine - is to be at the heart of a new handheld vacuum cleaner.
James Dyson, the guy who happens to have the same name as the products he makes (what are the chances?) has come up with what he purports to be a revolutionary design (pun to be excused).
As well as being faster than a jet engine, the little motor is, according to the Telegraph: "five times as fast as a Formula 1 engine and more than twice as fast as the most powerful industrial milling machines."
They go on to say that the only thing quicker "is a dentist's drill, but that is technically a turbine, not a motor." - You live and learn.
Can Dyson make a product that doesn't fall apart though? Or have I just been unlucky with mine? Either way, it sucks!A motor that's ten times quicker than the one found in a Boeing 747 engine - is... more
