Gave a talk yesterday on how Dragon Age: Origins is one of my favourite games of all time, only for today to grace me with the DRORIGINS TRUCK???
There are cathedrals everywhere.

I don't want to own Dragon Age: Origins truck. Dragon Age: Origins truck should roam free across Central Europe.
But I want to see Dragon Age: Origins truck. To experience it. To know such beauty still exists in our world, crafted by hands not so different than mine, to know it is able to endure.

I'm usually pretty good at not letting the Horrors get me down, but man, some days are a real struggle, and I can never predict which days will be which.

We took a break for the holidays, but started back up afterward and play every other Monday.
They're currently solving a murder mystery, except they found the culprit but it means bad things: a redcap
It was wounded when they found it, so were able to defeat it.

Hosted a Session 0 for a marsh witch campaign I've wanted to run for years.
I always do worldbuilding with my players these days because I feel like it gives them a vested interest in their immediate region and helps anchor their characters in the world.
Anyway, meet our new horror: The Gobbler

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

BISEXUALS! I need your help for a project on The Mummy (1999). I want to know what appealed to you about the film APART from the fact that everyone was hot. What is it about the Mummy that appeals to you more than, for example, Gone With The Wind or The Avengers?
