I've got a bunch of articles and items that deserve mention on the
blog, but too little time to give each one it's own post. So here are
some quick reviews:

http://www.udreview.com/mosaic/vampire-clans-battle-in-purnell-hall-1.2182538
- 'Vampire' clans battle in Purnell Hall - This one is over a month
old, and slipped by me somehow, even though it's from my own home
state of Delaware. College papers are usually good to the roleplaying
hobby, giving an accurate portrayal of the game and players, and this
article is no exception. Mention is made of how LARP can help build
confidence and social skills in players who need help in one or both.

http://www.su-spectator.com/sports/live-action-role-play-no-blood-all-glory-1.2355567
- Live Action Role Play: no blood, all glory - Another college paper
covers LARP, this time the Seattle University Spectator covering
boffer-style LARPing - in the Sports section, no less!

http://theblindgm.wordpress.com/ - The Blind GM - I discovered The
Blind GM when he followed me on Twitter, and clicked over to his blog
to check it out. In it, he discusses the challenges of being a blind
roleplayer, including finding PDFs that are accessible to the visually
impaired. It's still a new blog (only two posts so far), but I'm
hoping it will stick around for a while and enlighten us all even
further.

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/kids-rpg/message/3354 - Homeschool
RPG Club - Update (from the Kids-RPG discussion group). Bruce Anderson
organized an RPG club for homeschooled kids, and ran Savage Worlds
sessions for four different groups. This post is a summary of the
groups and the sessions he ran for each, and it is overflowing with
awesomeness.

http://www.columbian.com/news/2011/jun/03/fantasy-lives-in-real-world-games/
- Fantasy lives in real-world games - As I was typing all of this up,
another great story hit my inbox, this one from the Columbian in
Washington, about gamers meeting at the Washougal Community Library to
play RPGs and other games.
