Irish Pubs: Tradition and Modern Flavors

There’s no denying the allure of an Irish pub. For centuries, these beloved establishments have captured the hearts of pubgoers around the globe. They offer a mix of community, tradition, and joy. But what makes them so special? And why do they reach their most vibrant peak on St. Patrick’s Day? Let’s dive into the historical roots, modern adaptations, and cherished traditions that make Irish…

“Keep your pants on,” he said, turning, and then laughed a great laugh and added “—Captain!”

“I do try,” Jim said, rather drily.

FUCKIN END ME LMAO I’m literally dying

Alright, so I'm going to be just a little bit of an annoying promoter, BUT:

The Magnus Archives fans! Did you know that there is a TMA TTRPG?

Cause I only found out at the end of last year and got the core book as a Christmas present. It is my pride and joy (even if it did arrive kind of damaged, but that likely cause my local mailmen are fond of throwing packages like Frisbees.)

It has 384 pages! With amazing writing and hauntingly beautiful and bizarre illustrations!

And even though I have no one to play with, I have a blast just reading it and coming up with scenarios in my noggin.

However, after the fact, I learned that this was a crowd funded project before it was being sold on Monte Cook Games.

(Here's the link for it, btw, in case anyone wants a look-see 👀)

During the run of the crowd funding campaign, they had a bunch of cool exclusives, including physical copies of *A Guest for Mr. Spider*!

I was so bummed when I realized that I missed out on this! I get FOMO really bad (maybe it's the neurodivergency, I dunno), so I was sad to see what I missed out on by coming into the fandom late.

(This is where I become actually annoying, I am so sorry)

Then I learned that there is a new crowd funded campaign happening!

It's happening right now, actually! It's over on BackerKit and it's running until March 13th.

(I kept meaning to post about this sooner, but life has been coming at me with the steel pipe)

It's to help fund 3 new books for the TTRGP: *Make Your Statement*, *Face Your Fears*, and *DO NOT OPEN*.

*Make Your Statement* has 10 new ready-made investigations to add to your game, some of which were written by Mr. Jonathan Sims himself!

*Face Your Fears* is specifically for the GM, with new monsters, artifacts, and the like, as well as a map of the Magnus Institute itself.

*DO NOT OPEN* allows for a more expansive character creation, geared a little more towards experienced players of the game who want to mix things up and keep it fresh.

Every pledge tier also comes with a digital copy of the core book (the one I was ranting about earlier) as well as Enter the Archives, a guide for helping beginners that have little to no TMA knowledge.

There are a bunch of tier levels, some that come with physical props, the Leitner book *Dig*, and dice (which was one of the bonuses unlocked!)

You can also add some of these on to your pledge tier, if you're broke like me, or if there are only a few different items that you want and not the whole big bundle.

Maybe you want a stamp set to make your papers or books look like they belong in the Archives? Or some dust covers that will make your books look like they belong in Leitner's library? (I'm personally making sure that *Dig* comes home with me since I missed out on Mr. Spider.)

Here's the actual story info surrounding the books:

I could go on some more, but this is already quite the long post.

Here is the link if you want to check it out:

There is a ton more information there, and I really do think it's worth supporting.

The next stretch goal unlock is Mr. Jonathan Sims reading the statements found in *Make Your Statement*.

And with every stretch goal reached, a new sticker is unlocked, which every pledge tier will receive! We're voting between two right now: a scary design of Mr. Spider that says "Knock knock" or a bandaged up cartoon owl that says "Be nice to me I gave a statement today" (which was my personal vote).

Thank you for reading my very long rant 💚

Oh I forgot, met a pub cat today! Her name is Stormy! She loves begging for food and rolling in dust in the sun.

I LOVE HER EYES! The same color as the leaves! What a pretty girl. I hope she gets lots of admiration from the pubgoers!

Knocked Gira and Hiromu off my shelf and the corona got knocked out of Gira's hand but not Hiromu's. Mr Kuwagataohger lacks the pubgoer's temperament

I have seen so much consternation about 73 Yards. I am a little over halfway through the episode (Kate L-S just showed up) and I really do genuinely wonder how, combined with nearly dying on an alien planet last week, Ruby will ever psychologically recover, but I do have some thoughts as to Russell Davies's intentions.

Despite how they laugh it raucously off, the pubgoers' explanation of a liminal space and fairy circle seem to be at least the broad concept of this episode. I kind of wonder if the point of this episode is that even the Doctor doesn't know a lot of the phenomena in the universe, even as close as a sparsely populated coastal village in Wales. The episode really gives Midnight vibes. Enclosed space (hotel this time), with a bunch of strangers who still bring interesting preconceptions and biases to that space for a set period of time (almost like a play within a play), the absolute terror and yet wonder of realizing that what seems banal cam become deeply unfamiliar and threatening in certain lights, times of day, etc,with just one or two things that are Off(tm).

Regardless of its inscrutable contribution to this season's plot, is this IDEA not at the core of any experience traveling with the lone, misfit Time Lord? Maybe Ruby is rapidly being introduced to what happens to the Doctor's companions (I thought Kate's words on UNIT's "tradition" were pretty poignant for that reason). It doesn't have to be a gemstone planet in another part of the galaxy, which makes it scarier. To be ever following yet distant is to BE the Doctor's Companion. You will never know every inch of the Doctor; the Doctor has actively chosen (13 tossing the fobwatch into the depths of the TARDIS gears) not to know every part of himself. You will also never know the future (yours or anyone else's), even the "fixed" future, with certainty, because you are traveling with the Doctor in alinear time and space.

And the sense of VOID, ABSENCE, LIMINALITY (in-betweenness) this brings is an echo of many motifs we've seen since Fourteen: for instance, the last Uncanny Valley episode, woth Fourteen, Donna, the farthest edge of the universe, and the No-Things; the inconceivable vastness of the Toymaker and his Children and their power; the distance from Ruby to her follower, and so on.

I'm also feeling that, since it snowed in the first five minutes, Ruby reacted to and with whatever the malicious (?) force is, and the idea of everyone running away screaming or wanting to abandon her mahy be really tragic foreshadowing about her origins. And the Doctor will probably feel terrible sorrow about her fate since, as the Timeless Child, he can relate.

So why the hell did he let her just romp up to the "fairy circle" and apologize rather than tell her "hey, babes, hang on a sec"? Why, right after nearly losing her because HE bounded unsafely onto a bomb?

VeronaHills, Round Fourteen: Monty (A)

Baby Benvolio was now a pubgoer with a magnificent moustache.

The return of a Monty to Mission University was heralded with a pint, courtesy of Mercutio's wallet. "Time makes handsome devils of us all" was the toast - if mamma was there they would've swapped out the underworld reference to something a little less gasp-inducing - and they happily drank to that. The toast also acknowledged Ben's feat of immediately making the dean's list in his History major. Intelligence was just as important as bone structure for a gentleman to be truly handsome!.. That was Ben's justification for having no lady friend yet, anyway.

Beer-breathed conversation shifted to mourning Dogberry (real men cried for their best friends). He went in his sleep, curled up in the comfort of his velvet dog palace. Everyone prayed for him to be lying in the laps of Patrizio and Isabella now. Romeo's tribute post on his Instagram got half a million likes and the football club manager sent flowers. He also had condolence visits from various women, which were apparently very comforting indeed.

Cheers to that!

one sunny evening after the holy war french algebra raised its white flag, four men walked up and went inside a bar unbeknounced to most of the pubgoers, likely because it was 20something years later and none of the young people in the crowd have heard of them before they were all either passed out, drunk or both

[dullahandyke]

scouring my brain for the words to say 'this adaptation suits itself to its audience of irish pubgoers by taking a myth, in archaic translated language and locked behind an intimidating book, and injecting innuendo and regional accent jokes as to suit the atmosphere of a pub night out' without saying 'it brings itself to the ILLITERATE MASSES by INDULGING in BASE AND COMMON HUMOUR'
