Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
I was watching some luxury car commercial where people were driving through a downtown city center that had been overrun by brontos and triceratops (yes, my age is showing on those names). I kept thinking, "those people have nothing to be afraid of, those are herbavores" and "stop pestering them by driving between their feet, you idiot."
ReplyDeleteI don't remember which car commercial it was, so clearly I am NOT the target demo.
I would watch that commercial. Especially if an angry triceratops butted a BMW off a cliff or something.
ReplyDeletePersonally (since you mentioned it and I've had dinos on the brain for a bit) I'm not convinced by the torosaurus is a mature triceratops argument. Could be true, but Horner is so off-base with his t-rex theories that I take his ideas with a grain of salt. The jury is still out. And torosaurus would be the species to go, not triceratops anyway. Meaning a mature triceratops would just be pictured with a huge freakin' shield, which is awesome anyway.
It's a Buick crossover car ad, incidentally: http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/14/first-2013-buick-encore-tv-ad-features-dinosaurs/
ReplyDeleteI read it as "luxury" because of the blue filter.
Sweet. I will watch later.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes: I'm Team Triceratops all the way.
ReplyDeleteTriceratops is my spirit animal. I always commune with it when I'm at the science museum.
ReplyDeleteI need a Team Triceratops tshirt.
