The wizard and the lizard.

Ladies love Lizard People.

Ur-Hadad voted Lizard People. You should too.

Good morning.

I realized I never posted any screenshots from last week's Monsterparts game. Roll20 makes it pretty easy to convey mood. Virtual tabletops aren't just about grid-based combat. Pearce Shea​

Ordered Ms. Marvel vol. 2 & 3 for Abby's 12th birthday. This panel seems to sum up our generation gap.

"For as long as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster." Halloween 1982ish?

You should have the British Library in your circles. Originally shared by The British Library 'Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing...' - Edgar Allan Poe. As All Hallows' Eve approaches, which gothic tales will you be reading?  #Halloween

Weird Wars Ravenloft time!

Minneapolis franchise.

Holy shit.  A person of interest has been named in the 1989 disappearance of Jacob Wetterling of St. Joseph, Minn. Authorities say Daniel James Heinrich, 52, of Annandale, was identified after being the subject of a child pornography investigation. The U.S. Attorney’s office said Thursday a search warrant had been executed seeking evidence in a 1989 kidnapping near Cold Spring and Wetterling’s disappearance near St. Joseph. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/crime-and-courts/3871578-update-person-interest-named-jacob-wetterling-disappearance-26-years

National Cat Day? I'll share this picture of a smilodon getting impaled by Bison latifrons again.

Good morning. Originally shared by Bug Gwen I wrote a little thing for the Post. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2015/10/29/great-news-these-horrifying-31-inch-parasites-that-live-under-human-skin-are-dropping-sharply/?postshare=6031446124582527

So it's been announced that the Lego Movie/21 Jump Street directors are doing the Han Solo movie. My prediction is closer to coming true. Originally shared by Casey G. Young Han/Lando/Chewie buddy action comedy. Han wins the Falcon from Lando, there's a mixup with a hutt gangster, bounty hunters, and a by-the-book Imperial officer gets pushed in a swimming pool. There's a huge space-chase, and at the end the Kessel Run is done in 12 parsecs.  You're welcome, Disney. Make it happen.

Froggy from preschool has his Halloween costume. Super Froggy. Coop made up a song: "Super Froggy! He's not just Froggy! He's not just super! He's Super Froggy!" #froggybag

But Daredevil is a Monk, not a 1/2 elf paladin. Originally shared by Wayne “Lumrunner” Humfleet http://www.tor.com/2015/10/27/daredevils-deborah-ann-woll-assigns-charlie-cox-dungeons-and-dragons-character/

Coop got to bring the Froggy Bag home from preschool this week. Froggy visits your house for a week and when you bring him back you tell the class about all the stuff that Froggy did. This is maybe the most excited Coop has been about anything. Especially since Froggy will be with us over Halloween. He'll get to dress up and go trick or treating with us. I will be torturing you with more Froggy pics I'm sure. #froggybag

Life imitates Snow Crash yet again. The antiquities in question are a collection of 200 to 300 clay tablets “inscribed in cuneiform—the script of Ancient Assyria and Babylonia, present day Iraq—and were thousands of years old.” Apprehended in Memphis, the shipment of small tablets was on its way to “the compound of the Hobby Lobby corporation.” Expect to see mind-controlled people with whip antennas behind their ears programmed by ancient Babylonian brain hacking any day now. h/t Stephen Holowczyk  http://jezebel.com/hobby-lobby-under-investigation-for-smuggling-artifacts-1738840376

Overheard from downstairs: ”I just love Darth Vader! That's why my brain tells me to do the things I do!”

Saw Birdcloud tonight. I can now say I've seen a lady play a harmonica that was attached to another lady's crotch.

Good advice from Transformers vs. GI Joe #9.

Lucky Buddha beer. It's not good, but that's a fun bottle.

Just saw a kid fall in the shark tank.

It's time for Monsterparts .

The letter, which was sent through the postal system and on plain paper, read only: “The children look delicious. May I have a taste?” Later, the family began to receive unnerving magazine subscriptions, according to WCCO. “Instead of a name on the address label it said things like ‘tasty children’ along those lines,” Champlin Deputy Police Chief Ty Schmidt told WCCO. Sources also report the children are named Hansel and Gretel. http://www.startribune.com/charges-champlin-woman-sent-notes-threatening-to-taste-neighbors-children/336272101

I made a green devil face out of my play dough.

Hung out with Coop at preschool this morning. Flies are eating play dough pumpkins.

Just learned Atopodentatus existed. http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2014/02/05/atopodentatus-will-blow-your-mind/

Three players for Monsterparts tomorrow night. I haven't GM'd in a few months. Been burned out. Nice feeling to have back.

The lovely and chilly Mrs. G. In the Summit brewery cooler. We're here for a fundraiser for LDA Minnesota where Abby gets her tutoring. Also, I'm drunk.

Just making sure Paolo Greco knows about this American goat related curse. The Cubs are about to blow their chances of getting to the World Series yet again.

Your school is doing an overnight camping trip at the local state park. All your friends are going. Should be fun. Still, the dark bothers you, so you take your ________ . events/cqf2a4i58vuch8hf4krnj7k3tsk?authkey=CPeT3I_xxPrSwQE

Matthew Nelson Andy Garske James LaManna Barry Lovseth Keith Hoovestol looks like I've got this Friday free. Does anyone want to play Monsterparts? I could do a one-shot. But I'd like to keep it small too. I know Thor has his other group that night anyway.

N. Phillip Cole private to you. Why is Leia sad? Because her and Han's kid is an evil Jedi looking to fulfill his grandfather's destiny.

Fermi paradox solution. Or, in David Brin's universe, we are the Progenitors.  Originally shared by Hubble Space Telescope Latest News: Earth came early to the party in the evolving universe. According to a new theoretical study, when our solar system was born 4.6 billion years ago only eight percent of the potentially habitable planets that will ever form in the universe existed. And, the party won't be over when the sun burns out in another 6 billion years. The bulk of those planets — 92 percent — have yet to be born. This conclusion is based on an assessment of data collected by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the prolific planet-hunting Kepler space observatory. http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2015/35/

The Great Ape-Snake War* was hard on us all. Especially the ultra-wealthy. . . . . . Surprise from the Millenial to Snake People extension. Looks like it changes Occupy Wall Street to Great Ape-Snake War.

Watched this today. Super interesting look at this disaster of a movie. Includes: witchcraft, sleep paralysis, and drug orgies with a seventeen inch tall man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4xun1vi4C0

So, I'm about the last person on the planet to see The Martian and not one person mentioned the Council of Elrond joke Sean Bean makes. I was heartily loling. Best part of an otherwise by the numbers movie with a pretty ridiculous end. Made me want to watch Apollo 13.

Since Tetza leveled, Matt ruled I have access to new spells immediately. I could take fly or gaseous form which would let me escape pretty easily.  But the Yuan Ti want to take him to meet another spellcaster in the city. I could hang out and spy for a bit too. If I was going to do that, I could take sending and send reports to the party. Not sure what I should do. Seems like just flying away would be a waste of an opportunity. What do you guys think?

So, first session in the Forbidden City, Yuan Ti kicked our asses. Two deaths. My Warlock fast-talked his way out of being killed when everyone else retreated. I did have to help finish off one of the other players to do it though...but luckily the rest of the party was gone by the time I did that and there were no witnesses.

D&D time. Goddamn elves.  #UHHNGGNGYEH

Papa, draw me a T Rex and a triceratops.

Blowing off work early and taking the kids to the Science Museum.  Also, this reference is now so old it's like my Dad making a Laugh-In joke when I was a kid.

It's time for Weird Wars: Ravenloft !

Tonight, Castle Ravenloft , tomorrow, Dwellers of the Forbidden City . I've got some good classic adventure action lately.  Both have twists, Ravenloft is Weird Wars, with WWII grunts taking on the supernatural Nazi threat. And Dwellers we're playing in 5e. Turns out that an Aboleth is a lot harder in 5e for 4th-5th level characters than it is in 1e.

Monsterparts makes me do fan art.  I read it yesterday. It is disturbing and harrowing. http://gameswithothers.blogspot.com/2015/10/monsterparts-adventurein-woods.html

It's Roger Moore's birthday. Here's my favorite Bond moment. Thanks for the heads up, Ryan Northcott.
