		<title>Music to Set the Mood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nothing sets the mood of an adventure or scene more than music.  Swelling violins for an achingly beautiful elven glade&#8230; happy dance music for the tavern&#8230; drums of warning in the jungle&#8230; dark tones of haunting.  But why be too generic?
Give your most important places their own theme music.  It works for TV shows and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Corso and Bern &#8211; Adventures in Ozymar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working on a new (short?) story with two characters I&#8217;m quite enjoying.  I thought my faithful followers on my blog or facebook might enjoy reading it serial-style.  The more comments, the faster the next part comes out.

		<title>Movie Review: Kick-Ass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I think I&#8217;ve made it quite clear that I&#8217;m a comic book junkie and a comic book movie junkie.  So the trailers for Kick-Ass looked pretty interesting.  Take a kid in our world who wonders why no one becomes a superhero. Give him a run-in with muggers and the hood of a car that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book Review: Lamb</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received this book (Lamb by Christopher Moore) at a church &#8220;bring one, take one&#8221; book exchange.  A friend of mine snapped it up and pushed it into my hand.  I&#8217;m glad he did.
This is my first taste of Christopher Moore&#8217;s sense of humor and I&#8217;m enjoying it quite a bit.  He&#8217;s got a great [...]]]></description>

		<title>Movie Review: Guy Ritchie&#8217;s Batman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just saw the Batman movie that Guy Ritchie made.  It really nailed some of the aspects that no other Batman flick ever got right&#8230;
Of course, I&#8217;m talking about &#8220;Sherlock Holmes&#8221;, which is a silly alias to hide his work from DC Comics&#8217; lawyers.  Okay, what am I blathering about?  Well, he got some of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creative Gamemaster&#8217;s Workshop: Plot-boarding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Watch almost any cop show on TV in the last forty years and you&#8217;ve seen it.  Corkboard, chalkboard, or whiteboard, they all assemble the clues to the murder, pinning up photos of suspects, adding ?s where they know there are connections, keeping the case up to date for all involved.  Makes sense in real life [...]]]></description>
