Panorama of the awesome mural of Double Ditch at the North Dakota Heritage Center. Double Ditch was a Mandan village of 10,000 on the banks of the Missouri from 1490-1785. Abandoned when Smallpox decimated the population.

Despite being a Anthropology/Archaeology major at a North Dakota University, I'd never seen a view like this before. The most we usually ever see is a recreation of a lodge, not what the city looked like in its prime. Also useful as reference for your non-european roleplaying settings.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
