What's a Macklemore?

Happy New Year.

I was traveling all day, but it's still Tuesday and there's still time for one more #yojoeday  for 2013. I got a little goofed and did issue 5 last week, and labelled it 4. I fixed it. Here is issue 4 with bonus panels. Special Missions 4 The Joes, Leatherneck, Roadblock, Wild Bill, and Lifeline, have stolen a Cobra Firebat and are trying to get it's black boxes out before the Oktober Guard shoots them down with their sweet-ass Hind. But they are shot down and have to bail out but manage to hit the Hind with a Stinger and it crashes also. They set off in search of the wreckage so they can maybe complete their mission.  Leatherneck is dismayed by Lifeline's status as a conscientious objector and non-combatant and bullies him pretty relentlessly about it. Even when Lifeline shows his competence several times while trekking through the jungle, getting rid of leeches and helping avoid an attack from the creepiest looking tiger in comic history. Seriously, Herb, you're

Garske boys playing pool at the Salty Dog. Drunk at 3:30.

There is very little family drama that can't be solved by liberal application of the fine beers of the Port Aransas Brewing Company.

Kites.

I drew a t-rex on the beach. Kid for scale.

Running Post #goodlordshutup #whatadouche If you gotta run, you might as well run on the beach. This beats snowy sidewalks or the indoor track at the Y.

I don't care what anyone says, these little slideshow movies you can make are awesome. Especially when you're on an aircraft carrier and "Ride of the Valkyries" is one of your music options.

Abby demonstrating a big "nope." That's a slippery, downward sloping gangplank at the front of the USS Lexington, about 50 feet above the water. No way I was going down there. #teamnope #notasbraveasatenyearold Nopeifying Lex Larson and Jason Blalock

I got my year in review movie. Mostly pics of Abby. Coop isn't good at standing still.

Carcassonne cousins.

Hey, Texas peeps. Is it normal to run into border patrol checkpoints that are not at the border? We hit one north of Harlingen on the way to Corpus Christi. Dogs, guns and the whole bit. We are very white so they just verbally asked if we were US citizens, but the whole thing was so "papers, please," that I felt sick to my stomach.

Deicing the plane before we left.

15 minutes staring at the stroller on the other side of security waiting for a TSA joker to make sure the Cheerios stuck in the seat weren't explosive. >:(

"I know him!"

Like, woah.

"Ho ho ho and reload!"

Ok, resharing for the day crowd. It got pretty wide for being posted late, which I appreciate.  Happy gaming. Originally shared by Casey G. Merry Hex-Mas I have written a Christmas-themed, OSRish, hex crawl that takes place in Judea around 2 BCE. A god impregnating a virgin so he can be his own father is not the only weird thing going on in the holy land. Demons, dinosaurs, cults, and assassins are also running around causing mayhem. Along with a massive army of undead intent on killing everyone in their path. My gift to G+ for Christmas. #hexmas

Just because it's Christmas Eve doesn't mean it's not #yojoeday . Special Missions 5 Almost a rehash of the classic Joe issue, "Shakedown," this issue features the Night Raven and Conquest instead of Skystriker and Rattler. The super dickish Night Raven pilot treats his ground crew like shit, as opposed to Slipstream, who buys toys for his crew's kids. Ace and Slipstream provoke the Night Raven into firing on them, and Ace is shot down. The rest of the issue is Slipstream pwning the Night Raven, who gets his just desserts when he's shot down and suddenly his mistreatment of his crew doesn't seem like a very good plan anymore. Mostly, you just shouldn't trust anyone Cobra would hire. This is our weakest issue so far, but it's still fun, especially the over the top Cobra pilot. He's a huge pretentious, egotistical dick. There's just no way this aviation story can hold a candle to Shakedown , but that's not really this issue's fa

Everybody went crazy posting links to The British Library on Flickr about a week ago. You couldn't search anything at that time. But now there are a lot of things that have been tagged. I found just about all of the images in my new Christmas adventure by searching their photostream. If you use it, tag some stuff. Remember these are all public domain photos. And here's my adventure, just because. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B927w0kbCuZBMHI2MzFQa0tZT0U/edit?hl=en&forcehl=1 http://www.flickr.com/photos/britishlibrary

Happy Epimas, Epidiah Ravachol!

My cousin works for a catalog company and gets free samples sometimes. So she gave me these. She knows me pretty well.

That's how I live my life. http://poorlydrawnlines.com/comic/

I am reading The Winter King on Keith Hoovestol's recommendation. It is badass and exactly what I want in an King Arthur story.

Here is a big version of my Unholy Land hex-mas crawl map. Adventure coming later tonight, just in time for Christmas. #hexmas

Sappy food post These are donuts made by my wife's grandma. She makes the same donuts that my grandma did. Exact same. But my grandma died when I was in high school. So I really appreciate these donuts when I get them around the holidays. Grandmas are awesome. I just ate half that bag.

This was pretty fun. I got 9. I could not for the life of me figure out the one in the article title here even though I saw the movie.  http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/low_concept/2013/12/_2013_movies_game_match_the_plot_synopsis_to_the_film.html

Someone's aunt spoiled him rotten for Christmas.

"Me do it."

Good morning.

Google knew this was a Christmas painting and autoawesomed it accordingly.

Some parts of the Christmas story don't get talked about much.

Family stuff is keeping me from writing, but here's a taste of my Hex-Mas adventure, Unholy Land . The year 2 BCE. King Herod governs Judea as a client of the Romans. He is a madman who rules with fear and murder. His seers and wizards tell him that a time of great change is approaching, that a new king of the jews will be born and lead to his downfall, heralded by a blazing star. This child will be born sometime soon, as the star reaches its zenith. Herod’s secret police and assassins are combing the countryside, slaying all infant boys between birth and two-years old.  The truth is that this child, who will be born of a virgin named Mary, will in fact be the physical avatar of the Hebrew god Yahweh incarnated on Earth. But because of this massive expenditure of divine power, Yahweh has little power to protect his avatar, and the child himself has only his mother and her fiance, a lowly carpenter, for protection.  The spiritual power of this birth has also thinned the barrier betw

Everyone needs more Lego zombies and vampires. Originally shared by Casey G. They finally came. There was a goof up on my order and it was delayed, but Bits and Pieces finally came through.

If you're playing ACKS and the party goes in the swamp, make sure someone has the Navigation proficiency. My party just spent three days trying to find their way out, and ended up with Trolls wrecking their boats one mile from the temple they started from. As DM, I think this is hilarious.

It's time for ACKS ! #ACKS

Today's posts are brought to you by good, old-fashioned trolls . Do you remember the days when no one had a flaming weapon and you had to hit trolls with torches or splash them with oil to kill them? Pepperidge Farm remembers... Trolls in the swamp. Water, water, everywhere and no PCs with fireball. 1d4 trolls could ruin the party's day worse than most other encounters on my random encounter table.

Rainbow Looms, man. Abby made me a bracelet in my high school colors, black, red, and white. And boys love them too. My co-worker has 10 year old twins, one a future jock, and one a future nerd, and they make bracelets and keychains too. http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2013/12/rainbow_loom_is_the_biggest_tween_fad_of_2013_but_can_an_adult_woman_execute.html

Despite the fact I feel this way, I'm terrified of what's going to happen when I'm out of the office between x-mas and new years. #officespaceproblems

Today's posts are brought to you by the Catoblepas . The monster so ugly it can kill you with it's gaze, even if you're not looking back! The reaction pictured is entirely reasonable. It's on the random encounter table for tomorrow's ACKS game. I'm praying to the dice gods for an encounter.

It's a Christmas miracle! Originally shared by Casey McKinnon Hilarious, sad, and completely relevant to the season! (via Tara Tiger Brown) http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2013/12/18/_virgin_births_1_in_200_pregnant_women_claim_they_didn_t_have_sex.html

That's creepy, Steven. He's a grown alien. He can wash himself.

It must be time for Realms of Cthulhu !
