Rifts was flashback session this evening. A young girl had gone i to a hole leading into a cavernous region and was nabbed by a crab-like monster. After navigating a treacherous descent, we defeated the creature and rescued her. I kept saying our victory was preordained 🤣

Playing some Rifts. We're travelling within some sewers when a couple PCs spot (with powers or cybernetics) a couple invisible leaches. We continue on warily when the pair of leaches attack!

After several delays, we were finally able to resume our online #ttrpg Discord/Owlbear game of #Rifts. Samas pilots were probably too far away cause they were still flying to help their hapless comrades when that trio heard a voice from the Tunnel Crawlers asking what they wanted.

I really no idea why a shipment of #MastersoftheUniverseBattleground from #ArchonStudios would be stuck in #Germany for an undisclosed number of days before transit to the #UnitedStates.

Hope other #crowdfunding projects from abroad face similar fates on their way to US backers.

Online #ttrp session of #Rifts has wrapped. We had a stellar plan: the mystic, grunt, & dog boy would sneak up to the farm. Lure and distract the two robots. Two SAMAS pilots would fly over and drop bombs. Easy, right? Except no coherent radio signal is sent and there are more than two of them...

Currently playing some #Rifts #ttrpg using Discord & Owlbear. Earlier during the session while an invisible mystic and sneaking dog boy were creaping upon a farm, a cruising military specialist in SAMAS flying overhead provokes two spider-like robots to pop out and blast at the SAMAS. PCs flee.

Completed my 4th #book in 2025! Three Musketeers but German. Also young kids (YA) with a dash of Grimdark and magic. I found it enjoyable.

Finished my third #book of 2025 before and for Valentines Day cause it's a romance short story. Not my usual reading fare at all. Really liked the dialogue; and as time has passed I really appreciate the bit about peeling an orange more.

Finished my 2nd #book of 2025. As someone who has yet to paint a #mini I found this book helpful. Lot of things to consider; and it really encourages me to up my game while understanding there will be stumbling blocks.

Got to play a game of #Rifts the #ttrpg over Discord and Owlbear. Tonight, the group finished a battle against a pride of Frost Lions who had ambused the Coalition Squad & Mystic (long story on why their together). Turns out it took everyone outside running back into the APC for the lions to flee!

To mark Buck Rogers entering the Public Domain, I read the novella that inspired the comic strip. Dated, but a pretty good yarn. I also like action adventure Sci Fi and Pulps, which is also why I liked it.

On the 4th, I received my Cobra set of the GI Joe ARAH Kickstarter, which looked spectacular. Looking forward to reading Larry Hama's Marvel run. Hopefully, Skybound gives a similar treatment to Hama's IDW run. Would also love a similar collection of Marvel's Transformers run too!

Forgot to post the final book that I read during 2024. For me, it was the meditative practice of reading a #Stoic passage accompanied by commentary then seeing whether or not the concept was a struggle for me each day. Not only a read but an experience.

During 2024, I read my first Max Brooks story. A quick read but it takes place in a not-too-distant futures with plenty of examples of future tech. Also shows future tech has less than futuristic counters.

Some excellent, and some not so much, Christmas stories within.

Just finished reading this book about Global Witness's first 25 years about their battle expose the corruption that enables others to profit from resource extraction at the expense of the indigenous people. Very enlightening.

Played some #Rifts tonight using Discord and owlbear. Not only was there the one combat against the mated pair of Duckzillas but two as a pack of Duckzillas came to avenge their kindred!

Some quick thinking and a couple well placed explosions later scared them away.

An exciting #ttrpgs session 😎

Been playing a #Rifts #ttrpgs online using Discord and Owlbear. Tomorrow night, hopefully, we resume combat against what we call Duckzillas. A SAMAS is caught between a pair of them. Meanwhile the rest of us are attacking from a distance.

Right now, it's grind until one group flees.

Since others are adding their turkey leg pics on BlueSky, here's my edited one:
Packers Jordan Love, Isiah McDuffie, and Josh Jacobs eat turkey legs in foreground as reporter stands near Jordan. Christian Watson and one other eat turkey legs in the background.

Beaver (Super) Moon with what I suppose is a chemtrail at an odd angle next to it - photo taken by my smartphone.
