I finished putting together these cliff edge pieces but forgot to post about them. Each is glued to black construction paper (so the deep layer is black), which is glued to thin cardboard. The net effect is I have seven more 2x2 floor tiles, an odd 2x3 floor tile, and a 4x6 collapse tile.
all the tiles I made by gluing the cliff edge pieces to some firm backing. on the left is the 4 in by 6 inch tile with the big hole in the center. Lower right is the rough-looking 2 inch by 3 inch floor tile with several jagged holes through it. everything is a 2 inch square floor tile with a narrow crack through it.

Ever notice that whenever someone purports to have seen/met their god, they are *never* disappointed? Their gods *alway* fulfill every preconceived notion they already had. It's almost as if they imagined the whole thing . . .

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

Spot the difference
Side-by-side comparison of three social media posts announcing the death of former Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert at age 84. On the left, Fox News posts, “BREAKING: Dennis Hastert, longest-serving Republican House speaker, dead at 84,” above a photo of Hastert raising his hand at a microphone. In the center, CBS News posts, “Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who represented Illinois for two decades in Congress and was later jailed for violating banking laws, has died,” above a photo of Hastert walking through the U.S. Capitol. On the right, MeidasTouch posts, “Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Republican Speaker in history, has died at 84. Hastert admitted in federal court to sexually abusing boys he coached as a high school wrestling coach. A federal judge called him a ‘serial child molester.’ He was a registered sex offender.” The MeidasTouch post includes an image of Hastert speaking from the House floor with a C-SPAN chyron identifying him as Speaker of the House.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

As I’ve asked many times now, what constituencies does a university president represent? Because too often, the answer seems to not include anyone who works or studies at the university, and that seems like a problem.

Ghoul arena (and other terrain) in play for today's Teacher Ptolus game! The last time the PCs were here, they went past a KEEP OUT message painted on the floor, got divided by a falling block trap, reunited, then fell down a chute into a gladiator arena run by ghouls… and escaped! This time…
overview of the entire area they explored today, starting with arriving from the center top passage. Passage leads to a square room with three doors. Second door leads downstairs to a bar. The other side of the bar has an exit leading to the arena. More details to follow in later posts.

Got my COVID and flu boosters yesterday. Is this a normal reaction? (I *drew* this to be silly, there actually was no visible change on my arm.)
selfie, my sleeve is rolled up to reveal the place on my upper arm where I got my two vaccination boosters. I've drawn a pair of angry red eyes, heavy eyebrows, and a big frowning mouth on my arm.

Smart move by @chaosium.bsky.social to change the name of Shub-Niggurath to Shub-Gorath (evoking Robert E Howard) for their upcoming Call of Cthulhu Old Ones Origins board game. It may ruffle some feathers but nobody needs those chickens in the henhouse anyway.

A squirrel is standing inside and peeking over the top rim of a hollowed out pumpkin. The top of the pumpkin can be seen behind. The squirrel is wearing a slouchy black witch hat with orange stripes and holding a squirrel-sized chef knife. The knife is because the squirrel has carved the words ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN’ in the side of the pumpkin and in the ground in front the word ‘TODAY’ has been spelled with stringy orange pumpkin guts with seeds scattered all around.

Barista Ptolus group dungeon chess event was a blast! • PCs got access to an unexplored area of Ghul's labyrinth. • After clearing a room of some electrified scorpionfolk, they discovered a huge room with a chessboard grid, a bunch of weirdos on the far side, & a floating skull—the opposing player.
photo of the chess room from my perspective as GM. four 6" square Dwarven Forge tiles arranged in a quad to make a 12" by 12" area. On the far side are monsters: a pale batlike creature, an anthropomorphic worm, gibbering mouther, walloping krong, bylunculus, mysterious one-eyed croach, gelatinous cube, armored leech, two-headed snail lizard, fomorian giant, and a giant disembodied claw.
On the near side are the players and their companions: Kargrom the dwarf affected by an off-formula growth potion that made him a monster, Leif the druid, Eva the snake, Talien the paladin, Sivreth the rogue, Po the giant lizard, and Goffrey the follower.
