Add 4.5 Gigabytes to Your Dropbox for Free
Lifehacker has a great post about adding 4.5 gig to your Dropbox by participating in a beta test. It does require a bit of work (uploading 4.5 gig of files for the test), but I already got 2 gig in upgrades in about 2 hours. Warning: this is bandwidth intensive, so if you are on [...]
Secrets to Getting a Free 20 Gig Dropbox Account
Dropbox is the handy online storage tool I wrote about a couple of years ago. I thought it was handy tool for game groups. I used a 2 gigabyte free account for a while, but noticed I was filling it up very quickly and constantly managing space was a hassle. I am also incredibly cheap [...]
Livingdice Goes Black Tommorow to Protest SOPA

Erik and his merry band of cultists over at Gaming Paper have a Cthulhu Wrapping Paper project up on kickstarter that needs supporters. I am doing my part to [...]
Whither Trask?
Some of my regular readers may notice a lack of activity on Livingdice. Fear not, I am not letting the site languish without good reason. I recently made some major changes in my personal life, nothing awful mind you, just significant changes that forced gaming to a back burner. Can you believe it is over [...]
