For millennia, Nimrod was the name of a mighty hunter, but 3 generations of people's exposure to cartoon animals using it ironically in *2* stories turns it into a word people use to mean "an unintelligent, easily fooled person."
But do tell us more about your "constitutional/biblical originalism."

This week in the Ultraviolet Grasslands the caravan crossed the Skybridge with a ghostly tollkeeper, dodged temporal tombs, felled a dire beaver, reached the Rose Towers and watched their six-day cycle until a scarlet four-armed giant awoke and asked Adoron, βWhy are you here?β

This week in Mythic Bastionland the Company met the other rulers of the realm at Demelza Keep for Sceptremass and pried into their intrigues, participated in a lively duel, Sir Sergei became Marshal of Visane, and left in the morning to dive back into the murk of Myth-seeking.

This week in Mythic Bastionland, the company pursued The Spider through its tunnels, Etzer the squire became a snack, Spinjack was driven off again after a midnight ambush, enjoyed the hospitality of a retired soldier, and are now resting at Demelza Keep until Sceptermass.

A trifold rpg zine entitled 40 Days Deep. "The village is flooding. You are the only one who acknowledges the rising waters. Stop the flood, or drown. A game of Denial for 3-6 players." The cover has an illustration of a person in a suit standing knee-deep in water.
I'm really happy with how this came out!
(This is a new version of majcher.itch.io/40-days that I lightly redesigned and laid out for the 2025 Climate Change Theater Action festival.)
Unexpectedly rustled up a bounty on my walk through the woods this morningβsome fresh chicken of the woods (which Iβm having for breakfast), bears head tooth, turkey tail, and found since chaga for the first time!
(Also grabbed some peppers and tomats from the community garden, before it all goes.)
Apropos of everything, because it cannot be said loudly or frequently enough, anybody who has a problem with trans people can get fucked.

17.09.2025 22:13 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0i think a lot of conversations about whether or not a game "is safe" would be more productively shaped by:
- how risky is this game
- are players aware of and consenting to this risk
- what are tools players can use to mitigate risk
I am of the unusual opinion that all Alien movies are good in their own way (yes, even that one), and I look forward to your continued enjoyment of the universe.

You are strictly forbidden from playing out a Lore Phase during a Swords game. But that doesn't mean you can't fire one up while waiting for your turn in the initiative to come around again in a D&D.
Let me share the rules with you.
