…well, depending upon how you take retcons, there’s the t’au: i think they work best as a force for good doomed to fail in an uncaring universe, personifying tragic loss of innocence…

…that’s the POWER model: the unit posted above is the consumer version with the SX chip, no math coprocessor and fewer function keys…

…my wife came home from a chemistry demonstration with a cooler full of dry ice: we thought it would be fun to fill the master bathtub with hot water, dump it all in at once, and watch what happened…

…besides the obvious violent commotion, our entire house filled with a waist-high impetrable fog, enough that we panicked and quickly evacuated the cats lest they be overwhelmed by carbon dioxide…

…that’s exactly where my imagination went first, and then onward to the league of extraordinary gentlemen, and then i started brainstorming elements for my eberron campaign…

…i think that’s why it says elderly french pirate: he was formidable in his youth, but that was four decades ago…

^{(revolvers may rule the day but a well-timed flintlock will still f*ck you up)}

…well he’s not…

…it’s that sauder fiberboard bookcase + potted plant…

…man, that’s a deeeeeep cut for a time when electronic arts developed good games…

"A thin green ray springs from your pointing finger to a target that you can see within range. "

…i think the ring should be green…

…we were ambushed by a vorpal bunny a couple of years ago; managed to grapple the vicious beast and drop it down an open well…

…in its prime, olive garden was very similar to red lobster: upscale suburban is perhaps a good description…

…these days they’re both well past their prime and i’m not sure a similar national chain comes to mind; it seems like only regional chains are playing in that space…

…it’s mind-boggling from today’s perspective just how good the olive garden was in the eighties: we reserved a table for my graduation and it was a properly respectable dinner…

…hey, that’s just like my library’s old PET 2001, my first computer!..

…i don’t think he wants anything other than to keep uncle vlad at bay…

…i don’t know that i shouldn’t’ve seen it, but the 1978 invasion of the body snatchers was my introduction to existential horror at the ripe age of seven years…

…what shouldn’t i have seen?..about a year earlier, a family friend handed-down a big brown grocery bag stacked to the rim with pre-code EC horror comics: that was some teeth-gnashingly gruesome stuff…

…likewise, each character is different distillation of some aspect of my own personality; it’s kind of an integral part of the character creation process for me to figure out who they are and properly get into character…

…new sourcebooks coming next year, but fourth-edition maps kind of butchered the realms and third-edition maps compressed them into a fantasy theme park: i appreciate the proper scale of the fifth-edition map even if broader setting resources mostly entail tracking down older reference material…

…fifth edition does offer officially-sanctioned sourcebooks for the moonshaes, border kingdoms, thay, chult, and icewind dale in addition to the sword coast, though; you just have to delve into the DM’s guild for adept and adventurers’ league material…

…third-edition maps do alright in a pinch as long as you double the distances…

…we have a couple of industrial fans but the sound’s not quite right by comparison to cross-flow impellers…
