Sunday Funnies - Healing Knights, When Pigs Take Flight, & Texting Through the Ages, Right?

First up, a sweet bit of humor when the daughter of a Ren Faire staffer decided to heal the fallen.  See more here.

Then someone fashioned some Steam Punk wings for their guinea pig here.

Finally, with a warning that there is some explicit language, some poor drunkard accidentally drunk-texted a Doctor Who fan and went on an adventure here.  (I'm not really buying it but still find it funny.)

Humor, often gaming-related,

Saturday Crowdfunding Roundup - Dice and Minis Kickstarters

First up this week on the Crowdfunding Roundup, Lester Smith has a new dice game in the works and the project is called "SuperPower SmackDown! Battle Dice Game."  Looks like great fun!

Next, "Demigods Rising: Strategy Miniature Game" by Demigods Rising has a dozen days to go and is remarkably well-funded.  Check out some of those cool minis designs!

Speaking of minis, check out "28mm Fantasy Champions from Around the Ancient World" by Nick Ryan.  It's also got some cool designs.  I'm guessing you could even put your own character name on the little name plate on the base.

Finally, this time use with dice, "Hrothgar's Hoard Dice Towers" by John Pratt already has double its starting goal and lots of momentum.  You really need to scroll down the full Kickstarter page to see all of the design offers available.

Tech Tuesday - CRITS or FAILS Coin, LEGO Female Scientist Kit, Cardboard Tech Models

If you're at Gen Con Indy this week, be sure to check out the CRITS or FAILS Coin from the folks at Campaign Coins.  Looks very cool to me.  So, remember, GM's Day is always right around the corner!

In the world of LEGO, a recent article on Space.com mentioned "LEGO Releases Female Scientist Kit, Sells Out Same Day."  That's quite heartening to me.

Finally, over on thisiscolossal.com, there is a new article featuring "Imaginative Industrial Flying Machines Made From Cardboard by Daniel Agdag."
