“Kubrick in 1964 warned that American hyper-patriotism coupled with fascistic conspiracy theories and the human propensity for bumbling could result in disaster.”

Poll of polls and Next Generation Christmastime activists

Season's Greetings to my readers, if you are young or old, left or right, please take no offense.

Yesterday, our friends came to spend some pre-Christmas time with us. We have known them since our children were little and we don’t see them enough. Vegan, vegetarian, and meat lasagne was served. Something for all tastes. My children like those of our friend are Gen Zer’s, born between 1990 and 2010. They aren’t like us. When I say ‘us’, I refer to my readership who I imagine are…

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.” - H.P. Lovecraft, ‘The Call of Cthulhu’ (1928)

VivaDory dump because I need them OUT of my system. I feel I haven't done a good enough job illustrating their height difference.

I think if I had to make exactly one change to aftg I would make Neil...not a pyromaniac, but definitely a habitual arsonist. Would it be fucked up for his preferred mode of violence to be his last connection to his mother? Yes. But imagine how funny these books would be if Neil had to constantly argue himself out of burning Evermore down and running for the hills before anyone can stop him.

Can't believe STP fires off 2 of the best lines in the game back to back. Nothing like seeing razor route the first time and hearing

"Behold! The perfect woman"

"Maybe we could throw *her* out the window"

What a fucking double whammy

One day I will return to you ROTI rewrite…one day…

Have you guys ever heard about this game "Slay The Princess"?

I sure have... It's been constantly spinning in my mind for a couple of months...

So I've tried to make something in Hero Forge about it... Here are my attempts at slaying modeling Chapter 2 Princesses...

Bonus: Hero Forge doesn't allow more than two figures on one base, so there is no way I could model The Stranger... So here is five of her fragments:

And also Tower lifting the chin of a raven that was used to determine Her hand position... He was so charming to me, I've decided to show you... Not Long, but a Little Quiet...

All models are free to use in your DnD campaigns, and will be available through links in my Google Doc... Once I finish compiling it... I also need to acknowledge, that I'm not the first person doing this... That honor, as far as I'm aware, goes to @imafuckingnerdineveryway and their two sets of models: Long Quiet and Shifting Mound Adversary and Damsel Which were partial inspiration for starting this project... Check them out! More people should engage with Hero Forge as an art program!

if greygold did sided with the emperor during the confrontation between them and orpheus and failed to convince lae'zel to stand down, forced to fight her, how would greygold feel? would they come to resent the emperor after everything?

What a delightfully pain-inducing question~ Greygold likes to think they're less taking sides and more like- Refereeing. Trying to de-escalate the murder vibes in the room. And even though the dramatic music would be ramped up to an 11, Greygold would be just as delusionally optimistic fighting Lae'zel as they were fighting The Emperor. At least this time, they have more AC than a tarrasque so-

Greyg can hold their ground longer this time.

This half-orc has got enough wisdom to understand this is a tough decision for Lae'zel. It's neither of their faults for sticking to their values, friendship and duty and what not, and Greygold only hopes Lae'zel won't hold it against them if they both survive this.

Besides never fighting babe because they love her, wearing the share-pain lover's rings would also have Lae'zel insta-win if Greygold actually fought back.

Anyway the thing that probably would've actually broken Greygold is if they were able to escape the dragons' mass destruction of Baldur's Gate via a particularly last-minute planeshifting squid, but not their friends. But resent the squid? Nah. I think they'd only resent themselves for not being strong enough to keep all their friends alive. BUT ANYWAY THIS REALITY IS WHAT GREYGOLD THINKS EMPS ASSUMED WOULD'VE HAPPENED. Greygold's own counterargument to that theory:

M.A.D Lad
