    Maybe just hand out carrots and shut your stupid face?

    I don't see how anyone could think it would be a good idea to single out potentially emotionally vulnerable children in front of what is probably a group of their friends.

    It likely increases their chances of being RPG prude trolls by like 40%

    I would bet she doesn't go through with it. She'll be lucky if her name doesn't get out anyway. She'll be cleaning up eggs and toilet paper for weeks.

    Shit, hand out a stick of celery a pamphlet about diabetes to every kid if she cares.

    I imagine this person answering the call of "Trick or Treat" wearing a stained "No Fatties" t shirt.

    Let people parent their own kids. Yes, we have obese kids. But this isn't how to fix it.

    To the folks suggesting she hand out something 'healthy' -- why not suggest she just NOT GIVE ANY CANDY TO ANYONE?  

    Participation in any cultural event is not mandatory!

    If she's against kids having too much candy, well then she can just turn her lights off and dwell in her smug superiority and self-loathing all by herself.

    Plus if the kids ate more candy their arms would get tired faster.

    I hope the person who penned that note is dressing up as a douche bag this year, because that's the only fitting outfit.

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. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...

Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
