this scene from Pathfinder's quest had me being very not normal about it

The Best Joker Episode | Joker's Favor | Batman The Animated Series This is a good video essay about the B:tAS episode that is essentially Kaleb Cross’ backstory in Pathfinder’s Quest. ‘Joker’s Favor’ in Summary:

Instead of Bob, it's 'Charlie' and he cuts the Joker off on the freeway, the Joker chases him down and gives him a talking to and tells him he's going to ask for a favor someday. Charlie takes his wife and kids and skips town, and the Joker finds them and asks for his favor. Charlie does it, finds out Joker was going to leave him to get bombed, Charlie chases Joker down with the bomb to take them both out in revenge. Joker calls for help from Batman, who saves them both.

It’s a very toned down version of what Kaleb does to Bob and his family (since Batman was essentially noir for kids), but the same format.

Scalamanx

[Sponsored by @glarnboudin. Beast Quest is a series of middle grade books that started publishing when I was in undergrad, but if they were around when I was in the target demographic, I probably would have imprinted on them hard. Each one is a monster of the week affair, with the Beasts being fought or rescued by earnest kid adventurers fighting against various evil wizards. The Beasts, even the evil ones, often have some sort of role in the ecology of the world. The post sponsor described it to me as "Harryhausen meets the Legendary Monsterverse", which I would have gobbled up as a kid. Although Scamandrax exists in universe kind of in a vacuum (he was slain by the protagonist's mother and is accidentally resurrected to wreak havoc in the modern era), I went ahead and added an ecological role for it that seemed to fit its general vibe.]

Scalamanx CR 12 LE Magical Beast This creature appears as a lizard the size of a wagon, its hide made of rocky scales that glow from an internal heat. Its eyes are large and forward facing, and ridges of tissue like those of a newt grow along its limbs and tail. Six fiery tendrils grow from the back of its head like gills.

A scalamanx is an enormous fiery predator with a dim and cruel intelligence. They lair in volcanic caves and other sources of geothermal heat, and are found on the Plane of Fire despite their mortal natures. Although they have crushing jaws and thick powerful tails, the most fearsome weapon of a scalamanx is their fiery feelers. Each tendril of flame can move independently and lash like a whip, setting creatures and objects ablaze. A scalamanx is a stubborn combatant, and they frequently fight to the death once they have tasted the blood and char of a victim.

Scalamances have slow metabolisms despite their inner fires, and may only feed a few times a year. These meals are typically other creatures that stumble into their lairs, although during the driest parts of the year, a scalamanx may venture into the lowlands in order to hunt. These hunting forays can create wildfires that span for hundreds of acres, and many plants that need fire to propagate grow in areas patrolled by a scalamanx. At the first sign of precipitation, the scalamanx will retreat underground, as the touch of water burns them like acid, and any scalamanx caught in a rainstorm would surely die. Scalamances can understand a few words in Ignan, and respect powerful and intelligent creatures that can speak that tongue. Fire giants or efreeti use them as mounts, beasts of burden and guardians. Most scalamances are content to serve, but if they are mistreated may turn on their masters with lethal force.

It will show us the path!

I am still not over the fact that I somehow managed to overlook the brightly glowing Aasimar just hanging around very visibly in his manor which the quest given was about

Truly amazing

[tuxedo-rabbit]

The kingdom management in kingmaker is addicting. I know a lot of people found it tedious but I love creating little villages, planning out where the buildings should go, even the war table missions are fun!

It ticks that same box for me that sid meyer's civilization games & settlement building in fo4 do.

[genderdotcom]

is the wotr character a furry.

seelah: yes. she has a cool dog fursona and commissions art of her regularly

woljif: yes in the warrior cats edgy sparkledog sense

sosiel: he wouldnt call himself a furry but he likes drawing furry art (is he the one seelah is commissioning??)

nenio: she makes a fursona for the sake of research despite literally already being an anthro fox. the fursona is an anthro arthropod of some kind

arueshalae: desna's redemption arc homework actually included making a fursona

wenduag: no and she wouldnt like the thought of it

camellia: no and she would brutally make fun of anyone who was

ember: yes in the sanrio art style fursona sense and also in the otherkin sense

finnean: fuck yes he is. some sort of aquatic mammal fursona

daeran: it's too sincere for him he'd get hives
