japan mental health blog . . .in english. one of the most important sites i have seen recently. covers all the stuff you are not supposed to know, from internet suicide rings, to overwork, alcoholism, all the strains imposed by japanese culture. plus it is not one of those lame "pantsless salariman caught buying underwear from naked ninja!" type tabloid bullshit things either, it isapparently written by someone in the medical industry.

official dungeons and dragons errata. in pdf form. holy moley. contains such gems as

Page 121: Ring of Blades
The second sentence of the spell’s description should be changed as follows: Each round at the end of your turn, starting the round in which you cast the spell, the blades deal 1d6 points of damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +10) to all creatures in the affected area.
Page 189: Epic Warlock
“An eldritch blast is the equivalent of a 1st-level spell. If you apply a blast shape or eldritch essence invocation to your eldritch blast (see page 130), your eldritch blast uses the level equivalent of the shape or essence.”
Any other references to eldritch blast being something other than the equivalent of a 1st-level spell should be disregarded.
Page 49: Arcane Devotee Prestige Class
Please make the following change to the Divine Shroud class feature:
The second sentence of the class feature description should read, “This ability functions like the spell resistance spell (caster level equals arcane spellcaster level), except that the divine shroud is of a color appropriate to the arcane devotee’s patron.”

also this: http://allabout.co.jp/entertainment/fetishism/

it's a site by a famous writer in japan who teaches you about hundreds of different fetishes each with its own page. but it's in japanese. BOOBOO!!!

nanpa website in english. hilarious jargon and such. example
anchor (n) : A physical touch to associate that touch with an emotion being felt at the exact time of the touch.? Anchors can also be inserted mentally (as a forward-looking mechanism, such as causing a person to recollect a feeling when they experience something in the future) or visually (such as a Self Point).

and so on. brilliant.

this site is called the JARHEAD OFFICERS' CLUB. maybe you can tell me if Army guys would like it or not. . .

BSDM OF JAPAN-- a japanese masochist's blog. the only blog i will endorse, because he is doing what all bloggers should do.

DOZENS OF LINKS to pornography that features ONLY LIFE-SIZED DOLLS, not real humans. (Whether the links feature dozens of different, competing brands of dolls is for you to determine. i'm scared to go there, frankly. . .)
