Is it just me, or is carving pumpkins more of an ordeal than an entertaining activity?

    Those pumpkin carving kits make it way easier than just knives and spoons from the kitchen.

    Every year I scramble to find those scrapers, Lex Larson. Quantity killed me even with proper tools.

    Also, Lex, you should know that Lunds/Bylerlys has these fantastic pumpkin cake roll things. Not pumpkin spice, but still the best pumpkin flavored thing I've had this season.

    Ok, I would rather carve pumpkins than do my actual work. But then emails would just pile up.

    Coop has the right idea -- watch from the safety of a comfy chair.

    Casey G. I love those wee little saws in the pumpkin carving kits. WAY better than paring knives or steak knives.

    I'll have to head over to L&B to check out the pumpkin goods!

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.

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.

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...

Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
