More fun facts from the Lord of the Rings audio books!

Frodo was still in Hobbiton when the Ringwraiths first showed up there looking for him. He heard one talking to The Gaffer - it was REALLY close!

More fun facts from the Lord of the Rings audio books!

It wasn't just Bilbo's birthday at the start of The Fellowship of the Ring - it was Frodo's too!

His coming of age (33) no less!

Justice for Farmer Maggot!

(Fellowship of the Ring movie did him dirty).

I'm re-reading Lord of the Rings for the first time in a LONG time and it's been *REALLY* interesting to note the differences between the films and the books since I've seen the films dozens of times.

Woohoo!

I've collected 7 of the 9 art styles for the Nazgul cards in the Magic: The Gathering, Lord of the Rings set💪(plus the Witch-King and a generic Ringwraith).

I'm excited to make a deck with these once I complete the collection!

Our first Sanderson book!

The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England was a blast! The story pulls you in quickly & the premise is a neat twist on popular tropes. Pacing was a bit end-heavy, but Pixy and I didn't mind because it was so fun.

4.5 ⭐ (if you know, you know 😉)

Loki, Master of Litterbending, must restore balance to the world through play time, napping, eating, and being bad at grooming.

Currently there is a great imbalance, and napping rules all.

REALLY enjoyed adding "skill challenges" to overland travel during D&D yesterday! They add variety beyond social & combat encounters + PCs used untouched spells/skills

Difficult terrain, inclimate weather, equipment failure, hunting/gathering, & navigation

Can you think of any others?

FINALLY got a 7-win draft in Tarkir: Dragonstorm!

Failed to make Mardu work like 4 times now, but Abzan crushed on the first try!

Yathan Roadwatcher rezzing Reputable Merchant or Skirmish Rhino bought time to draw my bombs. (Honorable mention: Abzan Monument.)

Day 3/3 of our Dungeons and Dragons Fortune cards for 4th edition!

Nasty combo in this pack: knock down with 2nd attack card, then use 3rd attack card to do it again when they stand up!

This was supposed to be posted last weekend, but time got away from me! Sorry!

Day 2/3 of our Dungeons and Dragons Fortune cards for 4th edition. Packs seem to have one card w/ full art; about half the pack are tactics cards & the other half is split b/w attack & defense cards.

Anyone out there played 4e? How do these compare to normal abilities?

Our first pack of our Dungeons and Dragons 4e Fortune Cards (2011)!

I love these! Curious how exactly they would be used. Rip a pack and draw blind in the moment? Open early and know what you have?

They seem easily adaptable & fun to implement!

Ooo, these look fun!

Apparently they are for Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition and you draw actions/special abilities from them to use in dungeons/combat.

I wonder how adaptable they are for other versions? I'm going to open one each day for the next few days and we'll see!

Holy crap! It's our SEVEN year anniversary on Twitch!

We're celebrating with a non-stop uncapped subathon 🥳 There will be prizes, special challenges, mini games, and more!

Last year we went for 153 hours and 23 minutes (over 6 days!). What's gonna happen this year?!

Zyra is the cook & owner of "The Timber & Tides." She's earnest and passionate about her work.

Enjoy some: rabbit stew, braised rabbit, smoked venison, seared trout, or the special: the Capstone Chowder. Just be ready to tell her what you thought about the meal!

@pixyqueen11.bsky.social & history lovers enjoy this thread!
One of the world’s most chilling ruins is the Ploutonion at Hierapolis, otherwise known as “the Gate to Hell”.

Here crowds once watched priests lead animal sacrifices down into a cave, where they died mysteriously as if dragged down to the underworld. And no one knew how they did it until recently.

This map is precious to me 🥰

It's a scan of the original hand-drawn map of the Kingdom of Rin that I made in... 2013?

Dot = pop. center, grey line = coast, 🟦= water, 🟩= forest, 🟫 dashes = arable land, spikes = mountains, rounds = hills.

Rubato scrambles to defend himself from an intruder at night while Alondite seeks redemption from the God of Peace.

In the morning, Scath-Bais learns that Rubato wasn't the only person visited last night, & the implications for her guild are dire.

Hey DMs and GMs! How do politics work in your world?

The Kingdom of Rin is ruled by a non-absolute monarch who can be granted dictatorial power in times of great need. In peace, a triumvirate council rules - King, High Priest, & the combined vote of the Barons.

Pixy and I just rewatched The Darkest Hour (2017) and Gary Oldman freaking slayed the role of Winston Churchill.

The music is great, the acting is on point, the sets and costuming are beautiful.

I'm no film critic (or historian) but I think it's one of the best historical biopics I have ever seen.
