    I spent some time looking through Brickipedia last night at old space and castle sets. I had so many of the little space sets that were under $5.00. Just a tiny weird spaceship or rover thing and a spaceman. But I think this might be the only original spaceman that made it back to me. 

    The good news was that I think ALL my castle Legos and knights survived their 25 years in a box at the bottom of a closet.

    One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't take my whole rubbermaid bin of old Legos with me when I moved out of my parents' house before getting married.

    Did it go in a garage sale? Or worse?

    I honestly have no idea. It probably got trashed, but I don't know. And it's not like I can just call 'em up and ask about it.... I've kind of been disowned. :/ (Long story, don't ask.)

    Brian Takle I shouldn't have been surprised, but I still was when I discovered you can find the instructions for just about any old set online. I could build all my old castles.

    Alex Hakobian Yikes.

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

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.

From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned.
