For whatever reason it hadn’t occurred to the folks who came up with the Supreme Court, that someone dedicated to law, whose job was determining it in return for prestige and high income, would instead go “fuck lining my pockets legally, WOO HOO MONEY!”

When you think about it Ravenloft is weird. An AD&D game with a bland vampire inspired creating a cool vampire focused adventure and people wanted more… so now a Hammer/Universal Film horror setting is integral to a game about colorful epic heroes potentially saving the world. It’s a little like saying since REH wrote Lovecraft inspired fiction, Red Nails or Tower of the Elephant translate best to Call of Cthulhu adventures..

TOILET. Stocky but durable the toiletfolk of Varisia are known for providing comfort and their fearsome war cry, FWOOOSH!

1200 in-person completed. I think I did okay though the job might be difficult. I now think it’s more workable than I thought after the phone screen. Aside from wanting to check on a temp lead I think I’m very done for today.

Hey, here is a meme I found in my photos while drawing from reference!

I was doing okay until I remembered that I’m ugly, stupid, and have no real future to look forward to. If I can shelve those thoughts for a bit…

guess who's up thanks to an anxiety spike about pretty much everything

* the heyday of elves and dwarves. Maybe our heroes travel far from their homelands to look for trading partners, or foil their slaver kin, which is about to rip elf society apart. Whatever the case, they find themselves among humans, this new growing power whose bronze technology and hero-led warbands seem so unlike home. I'm imagining something like Sinuhe, traveling among Mycenaeans.

* the coming of adventurers. For centuries, wizards and armored knights were how society fought back big, physically powerful adversaries like giants and dragons. But with the expansion of towns and the middle class came the rise of professional adventurers. Your party is one of those first attempts to prove to local lords that this, not the old system, is the way of the future - and you probably face very angry nobles as well as the monsters.

Lumping together "this sentient consistently has no problem harming others for their own gain," "this sentient will defend and believes wholeheartedly in cultural ideals, but which create incredible harm" and "this unworldly creature is literally a personification of wilful harm" is an ethical equivalent to AC, potentially a profoundly useful game widget.

But when a lot of people in the game have been labeled evil, come from a family history of being the official evil people, or the evildoers conveniently line up with old prejudiced stereotypes, then there's a lot less utility to it.

#drawings this morning, fight between human with jian and some sorta orc/ogre/etc with lian dao, and three undead (spiked zombie, stitched flesh familiar, exploding skeleton).

I really wish it got made clear from the get-go that grade/high school anything isn't meant to be a complete guide to whatever; it's a shallow sampler, meant to give you a *basic* understanding, and if you want to get more into whatever there are other opportunities to do so. That's the best case scenario; anyone who's studied say, the Cold War or Reconstruction knows they've been actively lied to.

Why would what's at best a simplified version of gender, at worst pushed for someone else's convenience, be a definitive understanding of biology?

FROM A TIME BEYOND IMAGINING

JEN-ERIK THE BARBARIAN

RAGING INTO THEATRES THIS SUMMER

MIGHTY CLASHES OF SWORDS AND MAGIC NOT DISSIMILAR TO THE ONES LAST SUMMER

I hear the horses thunder down in the valley below,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon,
Waiting for the eastern glow.

cleared email inbox, put in for a batch of jobs, responded to agency phone call, set up phone screen tomorrow. I won't be following Kurt, Rob and Chris quite yet. Meanwhile it's actually not pouring down rn, so I'm gonna prioritize getting outside, over drawing today.

in the right light study becomes insight
but the system that dissed us teaches us to read and write
so-called fact's a fraud
they want us to allege and pledge
and bow down unto their god
lost the culture, the culture lost
spun our minds and through time
ignorance has taken over
yeah, we gotta take the power back

That's a real thing incidentally. They sent King threats about publicizing his extramarital affairs, and what I've been told is they just wanted him to shut up, and King took it as them wanting him to commit suicide, and at that point he figured he was living on borrowed time anyway, so it didn't actually get him to shut up.

"He may be a real contender for this position should he abandon his obedience to the supposed white liberal doctrine of non-violence and embrace Black nationalism. Through counterintelligence, it should be possible to pinpoint potential troublemakers, and neutralize them."

and neutralize them

and neutralize them

WAKE UP!

TOO MUCH BACK PAIN
GOOD G-D DRIVES ME INSANE
CAN'T RUN
BARELY CRAWL
GOT A BULGE IN MY INTESTINAL WALL
WALK REAL FUNNY
BLESS MY SOUL
CAN'T PLAY TENNIS
AND IT'S HARD TO BOWL
I CAN'T EVEN DO THE SPLITS NOW
GOTTA CALL IT QUITS NOW
WELL I'M SICK OF ALL THIS DANCIN' ANYHOW

fine. I'm in a shit mood anyway, may as well listen to a Zeppelin song with some very bad associations for me.

* predictably lasts about 30 seconds before suddenly crying *

it's really wild how Ramble On is the *weakest* Zeppelin song which references Tolkien
