    Yeah. In my experience there should be an earlier elimination round.

    You aren't approaching it cynically enough. Open a can of Hormel Chili, put it in your own crockpot and sit back and laugh at how many awards it gets in office competitions.

    It's happened in my office. It's been a couple of years though. It wasn't me, but I was on the inside of the joke.

    Almost all terrible. I voted for a nice vegetarian chili with pleasing heat.

    My chili skepticism goes up 1% per 5 miles north of the southern states.

    1st place was a tolerable white chili, no heat to speak of.
    2nd place was what I rated second as well. Mild heat. Fucking Minnesotans talking about it like it was the hottest thing they've ever eaten.

    I don't eat chili without a bottle of Cholula on standby

    We have a chili cookoff at work tomorrow. The curry chili always wins. I'm not really a fan. Maybe I'll hack the voting app again...

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.

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. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar.

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...
