Welcome, Living Thing, to Thorin N. Tatge's Splendiferous Life-Giving Website!

At this point, my friend, you have a choice.

Places to go, people to meet:

Some friends of mine...

Charlie Vermin: Oddball Game Imaginator
The guy is working on more advanced stuff nowadays, but here are one beautiful beastie's early contributions to the strange world of RPG Maker games that aren't really RPGs.

Laramie Sasseville: Dreamspell
A friend whose site includes beautiful fantasy-themed art in various media as well as filk songs, unique vanity bookmarks, and the Discordian Coloring Book. She's also available for hire as a graphic designer.

Foxfeather Zenkova: Multitalented Artist
I met Fox through her husband, Roman. She's a master of many crafts and a dabbler at many more--overall a rather amazing person. The two of them are consummate animal lovers--their house is full of fascinating pets. Check out her Artist's Statement.

Rich Brown: Some So-Called Music
Rich Brown is a space exploration enthusiast and a filk music devotee. This page features, among other things, the lyrics to his witty and well-structured parody songs about science, science fiction, horror, and social issues.

Thorn Valley: A Secret of NIMH fansite
This website devoted to The Secret of NIMH and the book on which its based is an exception trove of creativity. It's run by a friend of mine who plays Timothy Brisby on NIMHmuck--a programmer who goes by the handle of Simon.
Kahnhome
My mother's website devoted to her extended family.

Hey! Check out the interactive novel I wrote: What Is Best? I'm selling it on CreateSpace! What Is Best?

Is it Storytime? If so, this oddball collection of fiction may hit the spot!

Stories
On the other hand, sometimes it's poetry that best amuses both hemispheres of our brains.
Poetry

Filk is the music of science fiction fandom.  I have written many things under the auspice of being filk songs. Some are parodies and some are original tunes! Here they are for my reference and yours.

Colorful music notes

Perhaps it's speedily written, creative short plays that intrigue you! Check out my scripts for Carleton College's former cold-reading theater group, Chelsea 11:17!

Chelsea 11:17

First, there was Survivor.  Then, there were a whole lot more Survivors. Season five of this madness was called Survivor: Thailand, and I was there to write overanalytical weekly articles about it.

Survivor: Thailand

Are you, by any chance, a fan of the classic action/puzzle game Lode Runner? You are? Then my levels, designed for Sierra's brilliant remake of the game, will rock your world!

Are you an artiste? Then your senses will perhaps be offended by my portfolio of Crayola Marker Art!

Do you believe in the healing power of the mandala? If so, you give it more credence than I do! Nevertheless, here are a couple I made.

Interested in a stranger's opinions on webcomics? Here's a list of the ones I read--with ratings, because I like numbers!

Webcomics

I'm only a dabbler in the fine art of cookery, but for some reason I decided to put up this somewhat embarrassing page of pseudo-recipes! Enjoy if you can!

Recipes
If you've spent as much time MUCKing about as I have, you may relate to this homage to text-based roleplaying!

Though it be somewhat dated, the socially conscious may wish to take a look at Light Rail, Heavy Concerns: a college web project about the development of Minneapolis's Hiawatha Line.

Hiawatha Line
Games are an important part of my life. How about yours? If you're interested in checking out my various inventions and variants, this is the place to look.
Games and variants
Even if you have the bad habit of screwing your head on upside-down in the morning, you can still ensure some legibility through the judicious use of ambigrams.

If you are part of the significant throwback population that still calls Nintendo's "The Legend of Zelda" its favorite video game--or you would like to be--then click here!
The Legend of Zelda
The time has come!  Make your choice!!!!!
