This is the tale of Squeezer the goblin henchman. Squeezer was born to a tribe of goblins living in the giant and humanoid occupied land of Sterich. Being a gentle sort of goblin, the kind of goblin who would squeeze a rat, but not choke it to death, Squeezer was banished from his tribe to wander alone. In time, the humans of Sterich retook their land from the giants. Squeezer was captured by group of evil humans who locked him in a dank dungeon to later be sacrificed to their god, the Elder Elemental Eye. Luckily for Squeezer, a group of adventurers happened upon his cell, and one of the party, and explorer named Mozgov, took pity on him and freed him. Squeezer was very happy. He decided he would serve Mozgov however he could. So he led the adventurers to the lair of the evil cultists of the Elder Elemental Eye. But lo! The wizard cultist raised a magic ring and told them all to drop their weapons! All the good adventurers, including Mozgov, did just that. Squeezer shook off the magic

I actually love hoaxes and have always wanted to do a UFO hoax, but running out into traffic in a ghilli suit is Darwin Award worthy. Didn't he remember Harry and the Hendersons? http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/28/us/montana-big-foot-accident/index.html?hpt=hp_t3

So, $30 for beta rules. Even if they give you a deal on the actual release, that's crazy. And this only covers smugglers and bounty hunters and such. Rebel soldiers get their own game, and Jedi get their own game. So if you want to cover all possible rebellion era characters, buy three games. Buy three copies of the same rules with different character classes. This is worse than D&D. Nerds, don't put up with this shit. http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite_sec.asp?eidm=218&esem=2

Carrying on from this post: https://plus.google.com/u/0/110773650362547171117/posts/NPtK7DL7kzH My Texico MERCS are based and ready for priming.

I haven't listened to Busta Rhymes since...forever...but there's a freakin' awesome dragon on the cover, so, downloaded! Originally shared by Keyan Mobli In case you didn't know, the Busta Rhymes album is free on the play store.

All the descent images have been downloaded from Curiosity and stitched together into this mind-bending HD video of the full descent. I could watch this all day.

New phone home screen. SCIENCE!

Here's my major spur-of-the-moment-fuck-Privateer-for-not-having-enough IK RPG-books GenCon purchase. http://mercsminis.com/ Apparently this game only wants you to have five minis on the table, and none of them can be the same. This seems like a plan for financial disaster for them, but I appreciate it. I bought the book, a Texico starter box, the template, and tokens. Came to $100 even. I was waffling until I saw the dude with the duster and cowboy hat. Then I noticed it came with a sci-fi war-dog. When I opened it I saw that another comes with a Macuahuitl. And another is reloading his double-barrel shotgun. This is the faction for me. Going to prime them now. The goal is to have them painted by the weekend.

GenCon picture round-up.

GenCon was great as usual. One of my highlights was playing 13th Age with Rob Heinsoo GMing. Jonathan Tweet stopped by the game to visit. You are allowed to be jealous of my sweet new Escalation Die. #geeknamedropping

RIP Harry Harrison, one of the best sci-fi authors on the planet Dirt. Originally shared by Alex “Dungeon Daddy” Mayo Packed and ready for Gen Con - and I just found out sci-fi author Harry Harrison passed away last evening. RIP. This is really dorky, but I used to publish a punk 'zine back in high school - the nom de plume I used was The Stainless Steel Rat. sniff

This is the ultra-simple RPG I'm running at Gen Con for kids 5-9. The two sessions are sold out, but here are the rules. I've posted these before, but they've been updated and are now illustrated by my daughter. https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B927w0kbCuZBYWhxeTZfYnN3aWM

Circle Organization Time I've been in a couple of shared circles lately, and I have not been able to keep up with all the people who have circled me. So, here's what I normally post about and/or am building larger circles for: Gaming/Nerdery: RPGs, miniatures games, video games, boardgames, sci-fi, movies, TV, books, comics, etc. Android: like the phones, not Data from Star Trek. I just installed Ubuntu and this might turn into a Android/Linux circle. Science/Skepticism/Atheism: I don't think I've made any posts just to this circle, but if it gets big enough I might. My internet arguing days are done for the most part, so this would mostly be for talking about interesting stories in the news having to do with these things. So define yourselves and I will sort you thusly.

Heroica before bed last night. Abby was brutal using the magic gates to block me, but I managed to overcome and my knight was the one who vanquished the goblin king.

This story says nothing, and quotes commentors on the CNN website. Great reporting here. But they tricked me into indignantly clicking on the link, so, well done, CNN. http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/07/us/mars-unmanned-versus-manned-exploration/index.html?hpt=hp_c1

We have so many spacecraft on Mars, one can take a picture of another as it lands. Originally shared by Philip Plait (The Bad Astronomer) Curiosity picture taken as it descended to Mars! Check. This. OUT. The MRO probe caught Curiosity suspended under its parachute as it slowly descended to the surface of another world!  Amazing. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2012/08/06/mars-orbiter-catches-pic-of-curiosity-on-its-way-down/

For all your friends who say crap like "We need to take care of the Earth before we can worry about space." Curiosity cost $2.5 billion. $7.00 per American. In the works for 14 years. Cost per year per American: $0.50. Your argument that this somehow takes away from studying the earth is invalid. We are capable of doing more than one thing at a time.
