Your bank account doesn't want you to know that you can buy a box of approximately 30lbs of loose dice from Chessex for $875 plus shipping, which is like $200 less than buying 30 of their Pounds O' Dice.

I need someone to test whether shouting "I-O!" will garner an "O-H!" response.

Look, I suppose, technically, it's not my place to critique federal agencies naming choices.

But why does the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives go by ATF and not F.A.T.E.? Not like S.H.I.E.L.D. ever says their full name.

Want to keep the Bureau in the name? F.A.T.E. Bureau.

D&D 30 Question Challenge: #18 – Favorite Planar Being/Creature This is a vast question in some ways, as to my reading, a Planar Being or Creature is anything found on any of the planes (excluding the main ones characters are on), which is a lot of choices. At …

Starting to catch up on my backlog of posts that I have been getting written up when I have the time, spoons, and focus.

This one is looking at my favorite planar beings/creatures as doing these kinds of ruminations for now is proving to be the easiest.

I just learned about the Ludos game sets from Lemery games, and I think they are both super cool and a danger as they seem so cool as to make you wanna spend all your money to have the whole collection.

Look what arrived in the mail today! Hooray and congrats to Ken Feder! "Insightful, respectful, important, and a pleasure to read. It belongs on the bookshelf of every American," according to one archaeologist who blurbed the book. Get your copy today!

Remember the scene in Robocop II, I think, where they keep trying to make new Robocops and it never ends well?

You're someone I consider a valued friend even though I honestly don't think we have interacted much in the grand scheme-and the biggest interaction was a bit traumatic. But still it makes my day better to see Mouse up and kicking butt in any form.

I stumbled on a kickstarter the other day that was like "I plan to use AI but wont credit the artists referenced as I wont be asking the AI to reference anyone" and Im over here going "but isnt it still referencing artists? Like it had to have been fed someone's fantasy art for it to produce stuff."

Also, when does GRRM drop the pretense and just give us a SoIaF character who is a big, buff, knight who fights in like a muscle tank breastplate or something? I feel like by now he can admit that in some ways he wants to have some pulp fantasy characters.

I'm a big fan of the "Adventures of Dunk and Egg", and am looking forward to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

I am curious to see how they deal with Dunk being 6'11" and ripped, and Lyonel Baratheon about the same, given that those sizes together shrink the casting pool a lot.

"Just think of it, 150 pure bred sons of bitches on horseback and you facing 'em alone. You'll be written up in all the history books." - A great line from "My Name is Nobody" setting up Nobody's main motivation.

And who can hate the theme they gave that collective: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VHE...

I've seen people saying Dolly Parton is never allowed to leave us, and, while I agree with the sentiment, my brain is now imagining Dolly Parton as the God Emperess entombed upon the Golden Throne, and I need that version of #Warhammer40K
