    Is that a TOAD? I've never seen one that big that wasn't like, in Africa. (Californians mostly get little tree frogs or big bullfrogs)

    Tons of toads down here in Texas. Specifically southern toads, IIRC. I used to pick them up and use them to scare the other girls when I was a little kid. They have this defense mechanism such that if you scare them, they...ah...they pee on you (the toads, not the girls). I...may have considered this a feature and not a bug, and used it to my advantage.

    I was a regrettable child.

    My dog LOVES toads.  Every time she licks one, she starts foaming at the mouth from the bitter defensive toxins...but she never learns.

    Growing up in PA we routinely found toads the size of softballs.

    Yeah, this was a big ol' toad. This Vine is the best toad that was ever on our deck, though:

    Ralph Mazza one of my dogs does that same thing. He'll pick one up, start foaming, drop it, then pick it up again, then drop it, then pick it up again...

    Toad vs. Cat. It is a story as old as the hills.

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

Correction in comments, I'm still mad Ok, I found out the 5e allosaurus from Tomb of Annihilation was only CR2 and was outraged, so I made a comparison of a D&D character and allosaurus specimen MOR 693. 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...
