what are your opinions on the "dr ratio is a worm and also an emanator of elation" theory ^_^

not only is it funny as hell it also makes a surprising amount of sense!! which makes it even funnier!

i really hope one day we get ratio lore that officially confirms his wormhood that would be so great

So...we have some news! After a few weeks of talking, heart to heart, me and @m3l1ss4-4uf-d3r-m4ur decided it would be best if we adopted first, instead of bringing another tiny human into the world.

This morning, me and Missy got to go pick her up. Meet our daughter, London Marie. You can't see it, but she's smiling.

sesame cake what are your thoughts on sesame seeds

"Meow?"

[Sesame Cake stares up at you in confusion.]

"Meow... mrow?"

"Sesame seeds..? They're in my recipe, what's strange about them?"

He had seen other critters baked with or feeding on sesame seeds, yet they turned out nothing like him. Maybe sesame seeds aren't special at all.

George Pichard a repris "étrangement" cette dernière illustration de M. Van Maele pour sa Marie -Gabrielle de sainte-Eutrope(?)...

"Bien loin que la foudre infernale l' épuisât, la fit languissante, elle se releva redoutable et les yeux étincelants. La lune, qui, chastement, s'était un monent voilée, eut peur en la revoyant. Epouvantablement gonflée de la vapeur infernale, de feu, de fureur et (chose nouvelle) de je ne sais quel désir, elle fut un moment énorme par cet excès de plénitude et d' une beauté horrible. Elle regarda tout autour… Et la nature était changée. Les arbres avaient une langue, contaient les choses passées. Les herbes étaient des simples. Telles plantes qu'hier elle foulait comme du foin, c'étaient maintenant des personnes qui causaient de médecine.

*

L'unique médecin du peuple, pendant mille ans, fut la Sorcière. Les empereurs, les rois, les papes, les plus riches barons, avaient quelques docteurs de Salerne, des Maures, des Juifs, mais la masse de tout état, et l'on peut dire le monde, ne consultait que la Saga ou Sage-femme. Si elle ne guérissait, on l'injuriait, on l'appelait sorcière. Mais généralement, par un respect mêlé de crainte, on la nommait Bonne dame ou Belle dame (bella donna), du nom même qu'on donnait aux fées.

*

La femme n’a d’amis que ses songes, ne cause qu’avec ses bêtes ou l’arbre de la forêt. Ils lui parlent ; nous savons de quoi. Ils réveillent en elle les choses que lui disait sa mère, sa grand-mère, choses antiques, qui pendant des siècles ont passé de femme en femme. C’est l’innocent souvenir des vieux esprits de la contrée, touchante religion de famille, qui, dans l’habitation commune et son bruyant pèle-mêle eut peu de force sans doute mais qui revient et hante la cabane solitaire.

*

Le grand et puissant docteur de la Renaissance, Paracelse, en brûlant les livres savants de toute l'ancienne médecine, les grecs, les juifs et les arabes, déclare n'avoir rien appris que de la médecine populaire, des "bonnes femmes", des bergers et des bourreaux; ceux-ci étaient souvent d'habiles chirurgiens (rebouteurs d'os cassés, démis) et de bons vétérinaires. Je ne doute pas que son livre admirable et plein de génie sur les "Maladies des femmes", le premier qu'on ait écrit sur ce grand sujet, si profond, si attendrissant, ne soit sorti spécialement de l'expérience des femmes même, de celles à qui les autres demandaient secours : j'entend par là les sorcières qui, partout, étaient sages-femmes. Jamais, dans ces temps, la femme n'eût admis un médecin mâle, ne se fût confiée à lui, ne lui eût dit ses secrets. Les sorcières observaient seules et furent, pour la femme surtout, le seul et unique médecin.

*

Leur juge qui les brûle est pourtant charmé d’elles : « Quand on les voit, dit-il, passer, les cheveux au vent et sur leurs épaules, elles vont, dans cette belle chevelure, si parées et si bien armées, que, le soleil y passant comme à travers une nuée, l’éclat en est violent et forme d’ardents éclairs… De là, la fascination de leurs yeux, dangereux en amour, autant qu’en sortilège.

7, 8, and 9 for the ask game?

(link to the ask game)

7: who has the funniest split story?

probably catnap. we watched one video on poppy playtime and he just showed up, paused the video, and laid down on the floor. he just laid there. wouldn't move, and wouldn't let any of us move. we were there for like 15 minutes before he got tired of being on the floor lol

8: what are people's thoughts on fanfiction?

pretty evenly split between "i actively like reading this" and "you are a fool and i will read through this whole thing out of spite just to see how incorrect you are".

9: what are people's thoughts on fanart?

mostly positive unless its about like. tragic backstories. nobody likes those.

316. Robert J. Kuntz and Gary Gygax - WG5: Mordenkainen’s Fantastic Adventure (1984)

Although this came out in 1984, it harkens back to much earlier stage in the development of AD&D. In fact, it’s a part of the earliest possible iteration of D&D, having been developed by Gary Gygax in the early 1970s as part of his Greyhawk campaign. It’s from his campaign that the whole of the game was then developed.

As can be seen from the title, this adventure focuses on Mordenkainen, but it also brings in his companion Bigby and a couple of other characters that were part of the Kuntz/Gygax home game. 

As was also typical of that period the adventure is very much a kind of funhouse, hack and slash affair. Here Mordenkainen and friends hear of a couple of impenetrable doors underground in the abandoned Maure Castle. Managing to go through the doors they get into the several levels of a dungeon which eventually culminate with a demonic “boss fight”. Fun stuff.
