The leaf mantle, as promised! Alas, this one is already spoken for, but I'm trying to finish another by next weekend.

It's happening! A Thousand Rasps is open for business at the MD Renaissance Festival. We are located on the lefthand side of the front stretch, just before the Lyric Stage. Thank you to everyone who has helped me get here. I look forward to seeing everyone!
(Sign coming on the third weekend!)

Discount Strong Bad emails
Children of the early 2000s internet (hi!) may remember spending hours watching Strong Bad emails from homestarrunner.com. They are literally short videos of some guy named Strong Bad checking his email and they are hilarious.
Anyway, Strong Bad just emailed this out on the Twitter:
To find out what that would be like, I used a real neural network, the discount version of Open AI’s GPT-2, the publically-released version with 117 million parameters. Starting from its knowledge of a huge chunk of the internet, plus whatever I trained it on last (looks like that was D&D character bios), I finetuned it briefly on the full text of ~200 emails extracted from Hrwiki.org. It worked so well it’s almost scary.
The questions get Strange.
For more strange emails than would fit in this blogmail thing, go on over here to get emails in your very own email.

So my husband started a Witcher TTRPG and it’s really fun. I play a murder grandma (360 yo Griffin witcher) who is super crunchy and I love her. Thus far in the campaign she has:
- chopped off a bandit leader’s head on the very first turn of a combat, before he could give his shpiel
- proceeded to get attacked in both legs by crit fails from comrades
- tank city
- HAD A DOGGAMN HEART ATTACK--legitimately, from the crit fail table
Shit in this game can go VERY WELL or VERY POORLY and it’s amazing. Like we will wreck his monsters and then proceed to spend half a session failing to push a cart up a hill. Neato spaghetti!

What color should this leather squid breastplate be? Medium brown with bronze hardware, ebony brown with silver hardware, or something else?

New item: deckboxes! These boxes have a hinged lid with a simple button stud closure and can hold 100+ sleeved cards. I’m currently working on designs to put on the tops and sides. They are $65.
