clearlyIron Horse - The Thing That Should Not Be https://youtu.be/x_ZT6Qir2LA via @YouTube

Metallica: dude, what if I revamped The Dunwich Horror for Saturday's AD&D game?

Iron Horse: he went down to the crick ev'ry naht to meet his wife 'cause she was a REAL PRETTY CATFISH.

#drawings today, instead of thumbnailing to plan I just went with whatever (wanting to draw a haft strike, githyanki and devils). So; two adventurers face githyanki, and a fighter or paladin meets a devil in the Hells.

So I called to the Captain, please give me my wine.
He said, Captain, it’s Wednesday!

Hot take; BOTH Conan movies form a perfect encapsulation of D&D. Conan the Barbarian is about character background and growth in a world rich in history, and Destroyer is "fuck that, time for goofy fun with treasure, underground complexes, and big over the top villains."

So... you know the cover to Dragonlance Adventures, with Tanis Half Elven triumphantly seizing the crown from Lord Ariakis? This many years later it turns out what that was about is that canonically Tanis shivs Ariakis at Kitiara's request to save Laurana or something like that. As a kid who'd read all my Dad's 60s vintage DeCamp/Carter edited Conan books I was totally convinced that fantasy succession of power involved single combat with the prior king and that in this case Tanis was going to seize the Dragonarmies for his own.

not really a hot take;

People's need for housing, or peoples' housing options as determined by tourism, really should NOT be an option for someone's home business. Your small home business should be, "I'm gonna sell awesome Cantonese street food" or "the local comic shop! not "I'm going to completely dick the chances of other people even owning a place to live and I'm going to help jack the rents as well."

rewatching the space battle from Jedi, I'm struck by how little the capital ships actually DO, but in my mind it'd become this awesome sequence with the capital ships blasting away at each other like it's Trafalgar, while smaller craft zip nimbly between them.

"Artoo that rear deflectional stabilizer's broken loose again, see if you can lock it down."
"DWEE BOOP"
"Hang on back there." #MovieQuotes

"There's a lot of firepower coming from that tower!"
"You worry about those fighters, I'll worry about that tower!"

"We count thirty signals. Enemy fighters coming your way."
"Pick up your visual scanning. Watch for enemy fighters!"

"which did you like better, Jedi or Empire Strikes Back?"
"Empire."
"Blasphemy."
"Empire had a better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father... Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note! That's what life is, a series of down endings. All Jedi had was a buncha muppets."

"CHIISA. BEIJA WHAKEE CHEWBACCA."

so djibalae. Jabba waninchi ko wa nyaba no nabula. Heh heh heh heh. #FromMemory #ProbablyGettingTheLineWrong #CantinaBand #Jizz

Waitress provided poor service, which was imho unintentional, and my folks were in a FOUL mood about this. I dropped probably not enough from my wallet to make up for the poor tip and was relatively conciliatory to make up for my mom, my dad was grumpy at me for the second, didn’t notice the first. A clusterfuck.

I really REALLY want to talk to some of these people in the only way antisemites are capable of understanding. It’s sadly illegal and impractical, but note I think it’s ethical.

Oh sweet sacred Solonor I’m getting roped into dinner here I think. I would really rather not. I would really rather not.

Boss makes a dolla and I make a dime,
That was a poem for an earlier time,
You put de rag in de gasoline and light it all up,
You put de rag in de gasoline, you call de doctor, woke him up
I said doctor! Is there something to be takin’
I said doctor! To resolve this exploitation?
Now let me get this straight;
You put de rag in de gasoline and throw them both together
Put de rag in de gasoline and then you feel better

I just had a really good experience and am trying to remember that not how much I want to tell someone to get bent.

I really REALLY wish there’d been more than one book on Leyendecker. Ever. I suspect it’s cause of homophobia, he was Gayer than getting a BJ next to the garlic fries at Folsom. But c’mon the man was a genius! ROCKWELL woulda wanted a book of Leyendecker art!
