Wired has a hilarious gallery of famous people, if they were rolled up as D&D characters. Oh I long for the day when I work for a place where I get to rack my brain thinking of stuff like this.

Yeah I’m way behind on seeing this but I figured I’d put a link to the free version on Adult Swim. If you haven’t seen it, watch please. It is so good it is almost painful.
Related LinksI’m not sure if anyone has seen this yet, but the Star Wars Vault collectible book came out and it is $85.00 dollars worth of awesome ($53.55 if you act now at Amazon.com.)


I was killing time at the bookstore looking at this behemoth and it is well worth the cover price for Star Wars fanatics. Almost every pages has a pull-out, an insert or some sort of collectible goodie. No doubt this will be the most highly pilfered item on the bookshelves this holiday season. Definitely order one online or, if you must get it in the store, make sure it is wrapped in cellophane still. Kids will be stealing stuff out of these left and right.
As for the inserts though, they are super cool. Replicas of ticket stubs, promotional materials, posters, animations cells, mock-ups of letter invites to private screenings, iron-ons, full blueprints, two CDs of rare audio; the list goes on and on.
Really, a sweet item for the geek or your holiday list (which very well may be you.)
