Taken from #4. An Introduction to Dwarf Tossing

It’s been awhile since my last Link Dump…. but things have been ridiculously hectic over here. But I had a few people reach out and mention they were wondering where these Link Dumps went and I must admit it was good to know people care haha. A lot of the links are probably things already posted to Twitter and Facebook with hopefully further insight beyond 140 characters. I’ll try to put up at least 1 a week now that I have somebody helping me out.
