My WFRP players decided that since their boat keeps getting weird cultists coming round they'd buy a guard dog. They learned about the Grootscher Marsh Hound and IMMEDIATELY decided this was a newfie. They even searched the internet for an image and saved me the work. Anyway this is Kemperbad 🐕
"The Grootscher Marsh Hound, or Westerlander, is a large but furry beast, particularly suited to the marshlands of the northern Empire. Its thick fur makes it resilient to the cold and its large paws make it an excellent swimmer. They are used for stalking waterfowl and have even been known to dive for fish."A massive black Newfoundland dog, furry and shaggy. It's sitting on a hexagon-paved surface, in what can only be described as a derpy manner. It's looking straight at the camera with its tongue hanging out of the left side of its mouth, with a stare that suggests "no thoughts, only vibes". Despite its size it's a serene and gentle creature and I kinda wish I could be one.

Ah no, John Blanche was an absolute legend. I was lucky enough to get to Warhammer World late last year for a friend's stag (yes, absolute nerds) and his work stands out across decades. I particularly loved his March of the Undead Diorama from the year I was born, really nailed Warhammer Fantasy.
Diorama plaquard reading:

March of the Undead by John Blanche - 1982

The combination of fine details and overall story in this Diorama make it feel like one of John's illustrations come to life.The diorama referenced in the plaquard. The scene is a river crossing by a waterfall with a horde of zombies crossing a rickety rope bridge (and many falling off) while more simply wade through the water to the side. In the background are necromancers and a few other types of Undead miniature. There's a painting to simulate distant mountains shrouded in mist. Far too many details to describe, but each of the nearly hundred zombies is unique. It's amazing.

Was at the doctor's earlier this week and this fucking YIKES of a poem I saw in the waiting room has been squatting in my head ever since
A laminated sheet of paper with the followinf poen:

TODAY I DO NOT WANT TO BE A DOCTOR

Today I do not want to be a doctor.
Nobody is getting any better.
Those who were well are sick again
and those who were sick are sicker.
The dying think they will live.
The healthy think they are dying.
Someone has taken too many pills.
Someone has not taken enough.
A woman is losing her husband.
A husband is losing his wife.
The lame want to walk.
The blind want to drive.
The deaf are making too much noise.
The depressed are not making enough.
The asthmatics are smoking.
The alcoholics are drinking.
The diabetics are eating chocolate.
The mad are beginning to make sense.
Everyone's cholesterol is high.
Disease will not listen to me
Even when I shake my fist.
