The information is interesting, but this life restoration is freaking terrible.

In life, Yutyrannus huali probably weighed in at about 1.5 tons, making it the largest theropod dinosaur discovered so far that shows direct evidence of proto-feathers. At that weight, it would have been much too heavy to take to the air, but paleontologists think its entire body was probably covered in this primitive plumage.

    I love feathered dinosaurs. That doesn't exactly do them justice, though.

    If they're trying to make it look like an emu, they're failing.

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.
