Well, I got an email for the Audio Play early this morning. Production has wrapped, people. For those who were unable to contribute to the Kickstarter campaign (or just want to buy a new copy), it'll be available on ACX/Audible soon (rewards are expected to clear by the end of this month).

There is balance in all things. Live in symmetry with the world around you. If you must blow things up and steal from those around you, THAT'S WHAT RPGS ARE FOR!

I got to meet Stephen Pastis at a book signing some odd years ago. He lives in the same county as I do. Pretty nice guy.

Garfield!

Did I win? I don't know how this game works.

"I've known good criminals and bad cops. Bad priests. Honorable thieves. You can be on one side of the law or the other. But if you make a deal with somebody, you keep your word. You can go home today with your money and never do this again. But you took something that wasn't yours. And you sold it for a profit. You're now a criminal. Good one, bad one? That's up to you." -Mike Ehrmantraut

Hufflepuffs are really good finders

SAMUEL> AFAWK there's no biologicak reason Katana and Brooklyn couldn't conceive a third egg in 2007 when the next mating cycle comes around...

Provided they both live that long. *Ominous music sting.*

Is there any reason to believe Katana wouldn't lay a third egg? I only ever see references to Nashville and Taichi.

Now, now... Language.

Interesting little observation from Vrai Kaiser...

"They're also quick to notice Puck's magic once it goes into effect, turning the whole island into a sea of 9 to 5 and touristing gargoyles. It's a great scene that must've taken a huge amount of work, since there are dozens of individual character models for scenes that are sometimes less than a few seconds. Demona is furious, once again showing that she's less interested in having other gargoyles around than having the Grand Tradition of gargoyles that's passed away (safely into her mind, where she can be its often contradictory supremacist arbiter)."

"I love mankind ... it's people I can't stand!!" ― Charles M. Schulz, The Complete Peanuts, Vol. 5: 1959-1960

It all comes back to Peanuts in the end

Ninth!

Happy Birthday, Greg!

Happy birthday, Greg!

I've probably mentioned this before, but by a remarkable coincidence, in 1962, Charles Schulz ran a few strips in "Peanuts" about Snoopy pretending to be a gargoyle, and one of those strips appeared on September 28.

May I be the first in here to say the eclipse of the Harvest Supermoon this night was quite impressive and lovely?

Apparently I may.

Also, to any who missed it, literacy has arrived alongside the Puck.
