Self Rescuing Princess Society

Happy Friday the 13th! So many great links this week, so let’s get started!

If you haven’t seen Tavi Gevinson of Rookie in her TEDxTeen presentation, you really need to take 8 minutes to check it out. I expect to see more great stuff from her and her generation!

And speaking of Stevie Nicks, did you see her on Up All Night last week?

Also last week there was this Big Deal Gaming Conference in Boston. I didn’t get to go, sadly. But I got to see some great photos from my friends on G+ and Facebook and Tumblr.

Pokket, over at MMORPG has a good wrap-up video:

It looks like it was a great time for everyone involved, which is to be expected. PAX Prime is our major vacation destination, and maybe some day we’ll be able to swing a trip to PAX East. In the meantime, I’ll console myself by watching videos and reading blogs, like this great write-up by Geeks Playing Games — including a photo of a woman in a Dr. Who Tardis skirt:

Actually, so much great cosplay at PAX East.

Speaking of awesome gaming stuff, there’s a great Kickstarter project for a new tabletop RPG, Witch Girls Book of Shadows.

Witch Girls: BOS isn’t just about us printing a book, it’s about bringing table top RPGs to a new and overlooked demographic. Part of your future funding will go towards printing Quick-Character Creation guides to give away for free organizations for girls and schools to help introduce kids to Role playing games and the world of witch girls adventures as well as a larger print run.

Seems like a worthy cause. I’m all about bringing empowering games to girls!

And, lest you think I ran out of cool videos, have you seen the Lizzie Bennet Diaries?

I don’t know where this is from, but it’s awesome
