Been tinkering with using The Black Hack as the system for Riders of the Purple Lotus . A lot of the stuff I've already written took very little tweaking to work. So here's a character sheet I cobbled together.

This is the perfect description of introducing a new character.

This is the perfect description of introducing a new character. "They looked around, and Gutboy had wandered off into the swamp to take a leak - but lo! a stranger named Biff walked up in his stead. He was wordlessly accepted into the party, like a long-lost brother, such was their bond." http://henchmanabuse.blogspot.com/2016/05/session-recap-5222016.html

Well, time to go to a work dinner with people I barely know. At least I get to drag Mrs. G along.

#itbegins via Ciro Villa  Originally shared by rasha kamel "Humans have changed the world's oceans in ways that have been devastating to many marine species. But, according to new evidence, it appears that the change has so far been good for cephalopods, the group including octopuses, cuttlefish, and squid. The study shows that cephalopods' numbers have increased significantly over the last six decades". https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/05/160523125851.htm

Just found a mini I forgot I even bought. I might need to build a Frostgrave warband around him.

The kids and I watched Justice League: New Frontier last night. They hadn’t seen it. I’ve shown Abby a lot of Darwyn Cooke art, and she loved his style, so she was sad to hear he’d died of cancer. New Frontier has my favorite Wonder Woman, Hal Jordan, and Martian Manhunter.

Last night I cut the integral bases off a bunch of minis with my Dremel. Pewter shards flying everywhere. Next accessory purchase will be a full face shield.
I must have the miniatures bug bad. I just bought new Dremel bits.

Foot Clan lieutenant. What's a ninja lieutenant called? These ninjas have integral bases, I'll be whipping the rest of them off with a Dremel I think.

Game of Thrones fan wank

Game of Thrones fan wank Brienne rides into Castle Black. Tormund sees her. Mrs. G shouts, "Oh my god, yes!" "You ship it?" I said. "I have three stories already written in my head." Apparently so did the rest of the internet, because right now searching for "Brienne" autocompletes to "Brienne and Tormund."

Once as a teenager I saw the very end of a movie. A guy who seems to have super-strength beats up a British policeman, jumps over some people, and finds a gorilla in a zoo. This gorilla is the guy’s mom. Twenty-five years later I google british half gorilla man movie and first hit is right on the money. Stars Tywin Lannister. How about that.

Mrs.

Mrs. G wanted to watch Pompeii this weekend. Not enough Kit Harrington skin on Game of Thrones lately (until last night). I’d heard it was bad, but it’s hilariously bad. I’m sure someone thought Gladiator + Titanic was a good idea, but they were very, very wrong. Kiefer Sutherland was terribly miscast as an evil Roman senator. The volcano is really just a backdrop for a horribly clichéd story. Everyone spends their time sword-fighting and revenge seeking instead of escaping. But hey, Kit’s abs.
