There is a new Dragon Ball Manga, in which a student from our universe wakes up in Yamcha’s body. He uses his knowledge of the DB Universe to become the mightest hero. It’s the best idea I’ve ever heard. There’s a scan/fan/translation up on imgur. (Embeded here.)

Have you ever watched a movie and thought to yourself “Man, that would have been great except for the midiclorians?” or something similar? It turns out, you’re not alone.

For the last few weeks, I have been working on-and-off on a new DIY tabletop game I’m calling The Galactic Patrol. I’m using models designed by Arian Croft, and licensed under a CC-BY-SA licence.
