This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Been playing a bit of Go lately. Really getting into it for some reason. Anyone know of good books on developing better Go strategies?

I had a beginner's book, which name I can't remember. I used to have this game, though, which has a lot of features like a tutorial, problems to study, and a joseki tutor.

Edit: Name of the program is Many Faces of Go

Oh, that's something for me to think about!

I'm sort of OK on a 9 x 9 board, though nowhere near 1-Dan and hopeless on a 13 x 13 board. Long time since I played regularly.
I did not write this but would like to mention it:-

I did however write this Player\'s Quickstarter for the forthcoming Soul\'s Calling RPG, free to download here, and a bunch of other Soul\'s Calling stuff available via Lulu.

As for this, I can\'t comment one way or the other on the correctness of the factual assertions made, but it makes for chilling reading:-

Does that work on Mac or is it just for PCs?

Seems it's PC only, unfortunately. Never tried to run it on a mac myself.
