    I'm not sure what you mean, Casey. The one on the left looks like a Troödon, the right is clearly some sort of ornithomimid. Both have been plucked.

    The ornithomimid appearance of the one on the right is due to the unpredictable mutation process. The text refers to the creature as related to dromaeosaurs.

    The creature on the left has his display feathers hidden under his hat. His northern cousins are fully feathered as protection from cold.

    Both are experts in temporal physics and travel.

    Ornithomimids are "related to dromaeosaurs". They're both maniraptoriformes.

    Is this the origin story of Doctor Dinosaur?

    You could watch the ultra-dull Dino Dan.
    It has more dino facts, but it's Canadian blandness turned up to 11.

    Quiet Alec Oh, wow. I'm actually not sure! I don't know of any good, recent "ground floor" dinosaur books. Casey might, though, since he also likes dinosaurs (and, unlike me, has kids).

    Quiet Alec If you want a book for adults that covers a lot of different dinosaurs, including some that are quite obscure, there's this:

    After listening to the Dinosaur Train rockabillyesque theme song I had to pirate and watch Brannagh narrated Walking With the Dinosaurs. Such are the burdens of fatherhood.

    The kids are sick of my impression of King Cryolophosaurus.

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/
