@GeneDarkwrites @MikePerryArt When you have legs like Goldmoon... NO PANTS!!!

@MikePerryArt I always preferred Goldmoon to Laurana because she was a real one (I was always Team Pants though!) :D

Goldmoon establishes the moral core of Dragonlance. Not Tanis. Not Laurana. Her. A chieftain's daughter who watched her people stone her for heresy — and still chose faith in her lover Riverwind over survival. The first true cleric in an age where the gods had abandoned Krynn. Complete character sheet from my Dragons of Ice adaptation — turnaround, portraits, weapons, palette. Who would you cast as Goldmoon in a live action adaptation? And is she underrated compared to Laurana? #Dragonlance #FantasyArt #DnD

@yandjoshi Wow! And I thought I wouldn't see anything on the internet today dumber than Ilhan Omar saying World War Eleven.

why not let them ride as women?? i swear to god this franchise got away with so much casual misogyny and exclusion of women when it isn’t even tolkien adherent like that lol this shit wouldn’t side today

@silverlock Dying during character creation? While I can appreciate the hardcore nature of classic Traveller; I really don't like it when a game wastes my time.

The first TTRPG I played with a group was Traveller. I think this shaped my role playing life. For those that don’t know. Traveller does not have a standard character creation. Most games have you deciding what type of character you want and try to get stats to make that good or not. In Traveller, you can want to try for a particular type of character (college professor, navel officer, Scout, etc) but you have to roll for the different level of your career. You wanted to go to college? You failed and find your self in a life of crime. Want to become a marine officer? You get mustered out and become a scout. In classic Traveller your character can even die in character creation. I see so many players that have a preconceived future history of their character ideas, I think most could learn to roll with the punches a little more.

@AwakenedOutlaw I can't wait to watch no one be held accountable for this.

If you were wondering why Trump is so damn interested in getting his hands on any uranium in Iran, even the "dust," here's one reason. Once acquired, experts can undertake a process called nuclear forensic analysis (aka provenance determination), whereby it can be determined where the ore originated, and I don't mean in general. They can confirm its origin not only down to the country (or general region) it came from, but also to the mine from which it was extracted. Smart money is on their ore being confirmed to have come from a Uranium mine in Montana. Now stop and consider the implications of that being true, if that's what's ultimately proven. 'Sum of all Fears' energy comes to mind.

@athenaeumbc And... they promptly ignored him and doubled down.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn gave the most controversial speech *against* Western Civilization at Harvard in 1978. As a survivor of the Russian Gulags, they expected him to praise the West. Instead, he made a jarring accusation: The West is a dying civilization. If it doesn't change its ways, it is doomed to collapse. In fact, he said this has been the case for 500 years, when the West made a crucial mistake: "How did the West decline from its triumphal march to its present debility? ...the mistake must be at the root, at the very foundation of thought in modern times. I refer to the prevailing Western view of the world which was born in the Renaissance… I refer to humanism — the proclaimed autonomy of man from any higher force above him." Solzhenitsyn said humanism made man autonomous from God, Truth, and objective morality. If all morality is subjective, then man has nothing to live nor die for. Naturally, he loses his courage, embraces materialism, and grows effeminate to modern evils. So, what is the solution? A return to belief in a transcendental morality under God: "If, as claimed by humanism, man were born only to be happy, he would not be born to die. Since his body is doomed to death, his task on earth evidently must be more spiritual… The fulfillment of a permanent, earnest duty so that one’s life journey may become above all an experience of moral growth: to leave life a better human being than one started it." All cultures live, or die, based on their respect of the True, Good, and Beautiful. To save the West, Solzhenitsyn says start with beautifying your soul, for that is both how you live well, and begin to make civilization itself beautiful again.

@cosmic_marvel Wrong.

5 years ago today, John Walker brutally murdered a Flag Smasher and tarnished the Captain America mantle in ‘THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER’

The College of the Gold Dragon? Yeah, I don't like the way those dragon eyes follow me across the city!

@Grummz Do I have the option to chop the squatter into itty-bitty pieces? Then I might buy it.

AAA is so fucked. This…this does not make me want to play Fable. wtf is this landlords are awful sim? Did Hasan consult on the game?

@Blackmoor_Film I think the real problem here is that they're playing a "researcher" who already knows a bunch of stuff. If it's their first campaign, they should be 1st level and ignorant. Then, they could, ya know, research monsters and ancient ruins.

It's hard to explain to people that D&D isn't real. The Paralyzing Overthink I see coming from new players makes me sad because I can't show them how to Play In The Moment like all of us Classic RPG gamers do. Make believe Elf Game should be easy, and usually is. The expectation that their game should be just like watching an episode of the Witcher and full of deep lore isn't even what real life is like. I am not mocking this post I found because it makes me sad they can't just play and have fun. IMHO sometimes you need to go to the dungeon, kill things, and take the treasure.

@ScottApogee @UnderTheMayo One of my biggest movie pet peeves is any sequel that invalidates the plot or character arcs of the original. If there had ever been a third Alien movie, I'm sure it would have done exactly that, making it one of the worst sequels ever.

@UnderTheMayo The fact that they killed off Newt and Bishop right at the start make this film irreparably broken 🤷🏻‍♂️

Any alien fan who hasn't seen this must take the time to. Alien 3 isn't a great movie but the 30 minutes resorted to it make it definitely more than decent. Far more coherent and interesting with great plot points restored. @ScottApogee talking to you!

@davepl1968 Wrong! I was in Orlando at the time and saw the Challenger disaster live. Not on TV. In the sky.

99.9% of people who "experienced" the Challenger disaster saw it on replay and now remember it as live. Almost NO ONE was watching. Everyone thinks they were. It's a fascinating collective false memory.

@26ers_bp115 Japan should try boiling obnoxious foreigners alive, like in that Shogun miniseries.

世界の皆さんへ 日本の神社は聖域です。 神社にある鳥居は鉄棒ではありません。 このような行為は日本人が最も嫌います。 絶対にやめて下さい。

If Rexinda likes fun and adventure, plus a little trouble, then I know who she picks. Hint: it rhymes with republic!

@plomoterap30 It should be easy to finish him off, now.

Policía en USA: TIRATE Al PISO TIRATE AL PISO 🗣 El ladrón: *se suelta y se cae del puente* El policía: ????🗿

@GeneDarkwrites Yeah, this happened to me once. At first, I was pissed. Then it occurred to me that I didn't want to be trapped in a grotto forever, or transformed into a tree, or turned into a hideous monster that couldn't get laid. Learn to accept a divine compliment!

Dear fellow Forgotten Realms fans: I have just reread Elminster: The Making of a Mage, and got to the part where Mystra, the goddess of magic, makes love to him while pretending to be a human woman (who had been his tutor in magic for some years). As a child, I found that romantic, but now, having played through Gale’s storyline in BG3, it seems like something else. Also, is this even the same woman, given that the Mystra Elminster knew died in the Time of Troubles, so Gale’s Mystra would be Midnight. Midnight was NG in the books, so is there something about apotheosis that corrupts, or am I reading too much into this? Guys: if a woman seduced you and you later found out she was an actual goddess, would you be pissed or flattered?

Contend, you say? Hmm, I love a good contending!

@YesterdaysBrit1 The Prisoner is brilliant! It tried to warn us, and no one listened.

Who enjoyed the TV series 'The Prisoner'?

Never trust an Elt!

@DaddyWarpig I have zero complaints.

This is supposed to be a GI Joe character?

I arbitrarily choose left!
