<p>I&#8217;ve been trying to make something of an effort to keep this blog on the topic of RPGs and gaming in general. However, sometimes some of the other things I&#8217;m passionate about are going to make an appearance. For example, you may have noticed the big scarlet letter over on the right-hand side of the page. It has nothing to do with RPGs.</p>
<p>On rare, happy occasions, though, some of my interests come together in bizarre ways. Scott from <a title="Geek Nights with Rym + Scott" href="http://www.frontrowcrew.com" target="_blank">Geek Nights</a> posted a link to a <a title="The Skeptical Fantasist by R. Scott Bakker" href="http://www.heliotropemag.com/Issue01/pdf/Heliotrope_pg32-38_SkepticalFantasist.pdf" target="_blank">fantastic article</a> written by <a title="R. Scott Bakker's Website" href="http://www.princeofnothing.com/" target="_blank">R. Scott Bakker</a> for the magazine <a title="Heliotrope" href="http://www.heliotropemag.com/" target="_blank">Heliotrope</a>. I have yet to read Mr. Bakker&#8217;s novels, but this article has me intrigued. He sounds like my kind of guy. I know that Rym and Scott have talked his <em>Prince of Nothing</em> series up quite a bit, so maybe I&#8217;ll finally pick it up.</p>
