    I just hit 40. there were tons of Bigfoot and loch Ness monster books written in the 70s that our library had. Plus, I remember Whitley Streiber on Johnny Carson. Alien Abduction has freaked me out ever since.

    I'm just a couple years younger. As a non-religious kid, I was terrified of alien abduction. I didn't believe in supernatural stuff but the idea that maybe aliens really did kidnap people and abuse them scared the hell out of me. Plenty of nightmares.

    Oh yeah. I didn't believe in ghosts, but I spent a lot of time under the covers convinced if I looked there would be giant almond eyes looking down at me.

    nooooo

    I used be scared to wash my hair when I was a kid. I was convinced there would be a Hopkinsville Goblin clawing at the shower window when I opened my eyes.

    Do you have a copy of the Big Book of the Unexplained? It sums up everything I read about as a kid.

    This sort of thing... childhood obsession. I kind of wish I had kept up, but now I don't even watch the Ancient Aliens stuff and I killed my subscription to the Fortean Times :(

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.

Correction in comments, I'm still mad

Then I compared the allosaurus to a polar bear, also CR2. The bear has 5HD and the allosaurus has 6HD. So, I take it back. CR 2 is fine.

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...
