Need cool PnP website suggestions

Ok.

So when it comes to videogames I have like a million bajillion options. I have my 5 or so that I go to every day and read updates to. I get industry news, I get my genre specific stuff. Its good stuff. It makes me happy.

It makes me sad when I look for pen and paper gaming websites. I am bombarded with encyclopedic websites of little organization and tons of people trying to get their home brew published. Do not get me wrong, I pretty much only play home brew for the past few years. I love home brew.

I'm looking for a site that talks about the latest Steve Jackson news. I wanna know about the new GURPS rulebooks. I wanna know if Palladium games has had interviews lately on if they're even going to be around next year. I wanna know about art gallery expositions of classic Dragonlance oil on canvas artworks. I also for sure want to hear about the latest Pathfinder publications.

Something sort of like Joystiq.com, but for pen and paper. I don't even mind if they occasionally dip into Magic: The Gathering or even dice games.

I just need a multi-updates per day... something to read about my most favorite of hobbies.

If no one has this kind of stuff, someone needs to.

I'm tired of looking at a publisher's own website for information because its of course going to be all rainbows and unicorns.

    I generally read rpg.net or enworld.org for my RPG news, if I feel the need. Pen and Paper RPGs are more of a hobbyist thing, with close-knit groups of geographically-proximal individuals who quietly enjoy their hobby. It's much more of a personal experience, and the PnP RPG market isn't nearly as organized as one might think.

    Generally, each RPG system or publisher has their own major fansite that "runs" most of the online community. I go to dumpshock.com, for example, for my Shadowrun fix. For smaller games, though, like Castle Falkenstein or One Roll Engine, you may be out of luck.
