Oh, cool, a new dinosaur from the British isles. Cute little theropod...wait...is that Chris Pratt in the size comparison?

    Britain has so few flashy dinosaurs. Truly, theirs are the basic bitches of the Dinosauria.

    Okay, Scelidosaurus and Baryonyx are pretty interesting.

    Also, Dracoraptor has to be one of the most generic 21st century generic names I've ever seen. "Dragon-bird of prey." It's like a name you come up with when you're twelve and hold onto until you finally get to name something, and can't admit that it's kind of lame now.

    They get the cool sea reptiles. Mostly i'm amused by Chris Pratt.

    That silhouette should be wary. The dinosaur looks like a crotch-nipper.

    As a Texan, I am proud of and have been able to enjoy our prehistoric heritage - hell, 90% of the buildings at my college had fossil impressions since most of the state is ancient sea-bottom limestone.

    (We also have Queztalcoatlus and Mosasaurs, which are pretty badass, and I have personally touched the footprints of our state dinosaur Paluxysaurus).

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.
