I feel confident enough to post these now. A collection of all the existing posters after some edits from the other post that got 13k notes! These are full size/quality. Go nuts.

You may use them for wallpapers, tabletop campaigns, whatever. Consider tipping me or buying a print or sticker on ko-fi here! If you do use them, let me know what for, or send pictures!

HAPPY SNOWBALL EARTH WEEK!

If the entirety of Earth's history were a year, we have finally got to the Sturtian Glaciation in the latter half of the Proterozoic.

Lasting for a whopping 57 million years (4.6 days at this scale) there is evidence for the Sturtian Glaciation on every continent, and nearly as much coverage by the shorter lived Marinoan Glaciation (roughly 22.2 my or 1.79 days) that followed soon thereafter. The two collectively define the Cryogenian Period and stretch on our calendar from November 4th to November 10th.

My favorite deposit from this time is actually in Death Valley, CA of all places.

Notice how there are these big rocks just in the middle of this really fine grained mudstone? How did they get there?

THEY WERE CARRIED OUT TO SEA!

As the glaciers reached the ocean, some of the rocks they plucked up were taken along with. When the ice melted, they were just left on the ocean floor surrounded by fine mud as a submarine glacial erratic.

Things really start accelerating on the calendar after this week, because next up is the Ediacaran.

The thing you have to keep in mind about Moby Dick is that it’s an explicitly anti-racist text written by a white guy in the 1850s. So you end up with stuff like Ishmael spending an entire paragraph complimenting a Polynesian guy on his skull shape.

One of my favorite D&D gags that I ever came up with is part of a oneshot I've run a few times where the party is hired by a young wizard to help clear out a few active security measures in a tower that the wizard inherited from her old teacher.

The first obstacle to be cleared is the re-animated skeletons that the old wizard was using for gardening help. It's a pretty straightforward fight, but during the encounter, players may notice one particular raised bed of herbs that is set back in a corner of the garden by itself.

Upon further investigation, this one raised bed is absolutely shining with magical protections. There are runes carved into the wood of the bed, gemstones inlaid in the top of it, this bed is absolutely protected out the ass... and an arcana check shows that the protections are all pointed inward, attempting to keep what's in there from getting out.

What's growing in that raised bed, you may ask? What is so dangerous that the old wizard felt the need to place all these protections?

Mint.

AM radio is like literal magic. There is music all around us that we can't hear, and to hear it you just have to tap a crystal (diode) to the earth and listen to it with another magic rock (magnet) and a tin can. You dont even need electricity to make it work because this music around us is literally all the power you need. Oh and at night when the sun has set, the light of the day gets replaced by MORE music because the signals can travel further at night. This is magic. If you even care.
