When I run D&D, I tend toward very classical Arthurian styles. So, Clerics are essentially Catholic. So, spells (or, miracles) get translated into Latin and players have to chant them. IMHO, chanting:
Sānā vulnērēs levēs
a few times, is way cooler than saying "I cast Cure Light Wounds".

Use one piece to convince people to follow you!
A character study of Ned Land (20,000 Leagues Beneath the Sea) that I did for Battlefield Press. This is a few years after the book, so he's a bit more weathered.I love the way this came out-hope you do too!

Saba loves him some Madison Night Mares softball. But, I didn't really have a team to follow on the baseball side of the Northwoods league...until this year...

Now that Martinmas is officially in the past, Saba can start gearing up for Christmas. Now, I'm one of those people who also loves (American) Thanksgiving and (despite not being Jewish), Hanukkah. In fact, if you have a holiday with candles (looking at you, Diwali), count me in!

This is a brilliant (amazingly realistic) video in which the host (playing a Game Dev Tycoon-style simulator) builds a massive game company without ever developing a game. I laughed the whole way through as he did things I've watched many companies actually do.

As a big fan of Women's Sports, Saba is excited about the launch of the women's professional baseball league in 2026 - but very worried that it will be ruined by the same greed and stupidity that made @mlb.com unwatchable. I feel like...

Saba is listening to his Kirsty MacCall albums today. What an amazing talent and what a tragically short life. She goes from making you laugh to making you cry to everything in between.

You know why the Trump Nazi's hate PBS so much? Easy - follow my logic.
1) PBS produced THE ELECTRIC COMPANY
2) The ELECTRIC COMPANY featured LETTER MAN
3) LETTER MAN can change things by adding/subtracting letters - ie. "bat" into "batH" or vice versa
4) So, he could make ICE, NICE

Happy Old Halloween!
Plus, celebrate Martinmas by cutting your jacket in half and giving half to the needy!
(It seems to me that giving them the WHOLE jacket would be better, but mine is not to question why!)
Also, enjoy a Martini!

Saba reminds you that we're right in the heart of the Halloween season! "New" Halloween was on 31 October and "old" Halloween is on 11 November - so there's still plenty of time to raise the dead and go trick-or-treating!

For all my D&D playing friends, remember this important Halloween lesson:
Intelligence is knowing Frankenstein ISN'T the monster.
Wisdom is knowing Frankenstein IS the monster.
Of course, the creature DOES identify as a Frankenstein...so this just gets confusing.
