This is encouraging. Nice to see a nation make the right move in this regard.
If only the U.S. was as sensible on this issue.
∞The DM’s Adventuring Kit
I recently wrote about my return to Dungeons and Dragons, and promised another post where I would share what tools our group is using to facilitate our long-distance games. It’s really critical to make sure that game groups are well organized, or many campaigns will fizzle out due to the amount of work involved. Using the right tools can make this easier, but keep in mind that what works for my group may not work for yours. That being said, this process works very well for us, and should serve as a good starting point for anyone.
♺ U.K. Passes The “Instagram Act”
If you live in the U.K. and post photos online, you should really read this right now.
I’m just a layman, but if I interpret this correctly, failure to have clear authorship information in the photo itself (EXIF or watermark) means that it’s now legal for any company to treat your photo like an orphan work for purposes of use and resale. I’m sure we can expect litigation aplenty around this one.

Rolling Them Bones Again
I’ve been playing Dungeons & Dragons again for the first time in over ten years. It’s been a lot of fun, and challenging as well. When I started playing again, I elected to start by being the DM for my group, which is quite a bit of work, but very rewarding. As we have played, I’ve found myself spending a lot of time thinking about what D&D means to me, and how important it was for me growing up. Now, as an adult, I find myself thinking more about what it means to me as a storyteller, and how my perspective on the game has changed over the years.
