There is no evidence it was Iran.
There's lots of evidence it was us.
We're the bad guys.

Oh, even Mightier!

Jarhead is a WW2 Marine Raider who fell into an experimental Life Preservation Cask that Unit 731 developed from Frankenstein papers from the Nazis. It severed his still-living head and put it in an indestructible, clear beaker with a clockwork collar able to animate decapitated corpses.

This decade-old Pathfinder First Edition advice column I wrote is focused on Green Ronin Publishing's Freeport setting, but it easily applies to building encounters for any PF1 campaign.

#WritingPrompt You are at a friend's house. They have a smart speaker. When the friend is out of the room, the smart speaker tells you the friend has been kidnapped & replaced by a doppleganger, and there's a magic sword that will reveal their true form, behind the sofa.

Old Coca-Cola was a magic potion that grants psychic powers. But the powers are shared among all the drinkers. They changed the formula so the power could be concentrated in a small elite. Pepsi products, especially Mtn Dew, give you some resistance to the Cola powers.
#WhatIf

I have colleagues I trust who tell me I don't publicly say this often enough.
So:
I have about 30 years of profession ttRPG experience. I am seeking a stable, full-time, good-paying, fully telecommuting game-related job with benefits.

#TTPRGPitch: "Earth on Hell"
When Lucifer fell from grace so did his blade of light, Vrithivir. No creature, not even fallen Lucifer, can touch it. For thousands of cubits in all directions, Vrithivir makes Hell nearly into Eden.
Some souls exist there. In "Earth on Hell."

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

Daniel was kind enough to post this low-res version of his Ancient Hutt Battle Armor.

Ah, my beloved Hutt in Battle Armor, which I conceived for the d20 Star Wars adventure Tempest Feud, and was then included in the official novel based on that adventure, Jeff Grubb's "Scourge."

#TTRPGPITCH "Creature Comforts"
Monsters live in dark, dank, cold dungeons. Deliveries are slow, and plagued by bandits. So when a lich wants better lighting for its library or a rakshasa needs overstuffed furniture, they turn to YOU design, transport, and install what they need.

Some more spot art for a project in illustrating 👀

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.
