S1 Ep03 The Hole Of The Leviathan
In this episode I meet a lovecraftian monster, and have a chat about the meaning of life.
1/7
The image shows a rectangular Roman dice tower (turricula) made of four copper alloy (bronze) plates with punched cut-out Latin letters and cut-out decorative patterns. At the bottom front is a stepped exit chute with small bronze bells attached to the opening. The tower is a Roman anti-cheating device. It has an open top and is hollow inside except for three staggered, downward-sloping plates, designed to randomize dice as they fall, ensuring unpredictable dice rolls. When the dice rolled out of the exit chute they rang the bells! There is a decorative dolphin either side of the stepped exit chute. The top of the front plate has two decorative pine cone finials. Height 25 cm. There is a single die shown next to the stepped base to illustrate how it was used. The front inscription reads: PICTOS VICTOS HOSTIS DELETA LVDITE SECVRI Translated as: βThe Picts defeated, the enemy has been destroyed, play in safetyβ. Around the top of the three remaining sides, a second inscription made with cut out letters reads: βUTERI/FELIX/VIVASβ translated as βUse happily; may you live wellβ. Found at a Roman villa at Froitzheim in Germany in 1985.
Roman anti-cheating gaming accessory!
This Roman βturriculaβ (dice tower) was used to ensure a fair roll of the dice! π²π²π²
Dice dropped into the top, tumbled over sloping internal levels, and appeared randomly below.
From Froitzheim, Germany, AD 300-400

This game is about to release into Early Access TODAY and I have a spare giveaway key. I'll post it into the replies for anyone to grab once this post reaches 500 reposts
A few pages I haven't previously shared from 'Tattered Wings', my 48 page story in #11 of 'The Savage Sword of Conan'.
it shouldnβt be lost on anyone that, for all the European rhetoric about opposing tyranny and being a bastion of democracy, a bunch of Minnesotans forming ad hoc neighborhood protection groups have stood up to Trump far more than any European power has or will.
Why do I like sword & sorcery?
The limitless potential of its hodgepodge worlds
Its maps are blank, full of liminal spaces
Weird mysteries and great wonders lurk around every corner
It is the physical space of a dream
You engage with it in short bursts, ere that dream crumbles

We can start making Star Trek real by having good, competent, empathetic leaders whose sole motive isnβt just money but to better mankind.
Musk couldnβt be less Star Trek if he tried.
I'm just now seeing this post! Its fantastic. I love how we're all trying to slay the 1 HP Dragon (combat without HP/numbers). This is a really good system. My current drafts have similar ideas, but this one is so much more fleshed out.

Cover van de Nederlandstalige editie van "Engelenbrood", de memoires van Patti Smith
'Engelenbrood', de memoires van Patti "Godmother of Punk" Smith is het beste boek dat ik dit jaar (voor)las. Smith weet zelfs tijdens de meest hartverscheurende momenten in haar turbulente leven de zoektocht naar schoonheid voort te zetten.
Voor iedereen met een rebellenbult.

this map for Disco Elysium Final cut is i believe the most time consuming jobs i've done
was super fun
En ik ben niet heiliger dan de paus. Ik lees die dingen ook. Ik probeer in de regel daar wel op dezelfde manier mee om te springen als met elke andere vorm van media. Maak zorgvuldige en kritische keuzes uit hoe en welke media je consumeert.
Ik denk dat ze er wel degelijk rekening mee houden, in de mate van het mogelijke. Maar dat men dan nog niet alle kaarten op tafel legt snap ik net ook heel goed. En wat wij eraan doen, geef je zelf net al goed aan. De vraag stellen is 'm beantwoorden ;)
Dat dat soort info maar te grabbel wordt gegooid, omdat we met z'n allen graag Eftelingnieuwtjes lezen.
If you want to play a TTRPG about figuring out who you are and where you belong, Strays is a feature length game about changelings, the 1950s, broken factions, and being pressured to pick a side.

We hoeven het niet eens te worden maar kijk: Efteling hééft geanticipeerd door het nieuws zelf eerder naar buiten te brengen, via *die* weg. Dat dat in de ogen van fans weer niet goed (genoeg) is, ligt m.i. niet aan de Efteling. En dat blogbericht, met ontwerp, komt heus wel, als het klaar is. π
Je mag het naΓ―ef vinden, maar ik vind het minstens even naΓ―ef dat we dat dan maar met z'n allen maar ok moeten vinden.
En "enemies close", tgoh. Echt ophef is er niet opstaan, buiten de fanwereld. Dit domineert niet de headlines zoals het verdwijnen van het Spookslot destijds.
