somewhere on the internet is someone with an opinion so bad it will kill you unless you, much like mithridates, build up a tolerance by reading every opinion that makes your blood boil. especially when it is presented as fact

Mothership’s rules hint at stories that span decades (military training, interstellar travel, etc) and this book also suggests vast, galaxy-spanning conspiracies. Would love to run a “True Detective”-like campaign in this universe, i.e. one that follows 30 years of characters’ lives.

weird thing i've realised is my recent violence adventures are all about people being missing or inaccessible or dead (but that not being known)

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

learning about the ancient chuds
In the Altai, Barchenko also investigated the legend about
“subterranean folk” called the Chud—a possible link to Agartha. In some
undefined ancient times, as the legend goes, the mysterious Chud, who faced
constant oppression and harassment from authorities in this world, hid away
underground by cutting wooden beams to support the roofs of their
subterranean dwellings. From then on, the Chud lived an invisible life,
resurfacing only when the world faced a calamity.

the man is in his chair and he is a holding a book. the cover reads blood meridian in a font of metal. the spine a tapestry of wrinkles each a pause of some minutes contemplation upon the words in that selfsame book. he picks up a pencil. he sees the words judge holden. he notes next to it 8HD, AC 5

my psionic lethality reading is off the charts. it's so over for you. i'm going to leave your whole mindform flat lined. there'll be a big crater in the noosphere that used to be your sad little astral presence, and people will gather round and wonder what you did to deserve total obliteration

my dog is in for a treatment (he'll be fine don't worry) but they way they described it made it sound like they were grilling sausages by rotating him at set intervals. i have started calling him a rotisserie dog and my wife doesn't like it for some reason
