Anything worth doing is worth over doing.
A green and purple painted giant monster in miniature. It’s on a gridded map. Mini characters are stuck to the monster. There are character sheets.

In the section that talks about GM Downtime, it mentions longer rests. This is talking about GM fear gains on rests, which is a thing I sure neglected for a while. :D
EXTENDED DOWNTIME If you’re fast-forwarding the story across multiple days (or longer), you probably don’t need a separate scene for each long rest during that time. During these longer stretches, consider talking to your players about what their characters want to accomplish, then using montages to illustrate the passage of time. You gain 1d6 Fear per PC and can advance the long-term countdowns as appropriate for the extended period of rest. Some PC goals might require a single roll (or none at all). Others might call for a series of progress countdown rolls to advance a project across several long rests. It’s trivial for a bard to gather rumors during a week-long stay in the city, but you might ask them to make a Presence Roll to see whether they learn some especially important information in the process. Similarly, you could ask your warrior to make a Finesse Roll if they’re trying to enhance their armor with rare materials obtained in their last adventure.

I heard they're running my favorite son Colossus of the Drylands at Gencon. It is SO GOOD! Here is my player Alex's fan art of Ikeri, that they slayed last night at my table. (They blew up its hands and then its head with just WAY TO MUCH dynamite and it was beautiful!
A doodle by a player (Alex) on a virtual table top durning a major boss fight. This is the boss. Ikeri, Injuries Untold. It's made of rocks and violence. If I had a van, I would spray paint it on the side. Daggerheart is so fun, friends.

Post by Weekly World News. A Dracula is sitting it the witness seat in a trial with a judge looking down at him frowning. There is a quote by someone from the case saying "you bled us dry! Enough is enough!" and the headline is "Dracula Sued by Transylvanian Villagers."

Hmmm....
Screen shot by a user named "Salad Shooter" : "Vote Blue No Matter Who", does not, will not, and has not ever referred to Zohran Mamdani. Stay home, vote Adams (probably the best option), or vote for one of the other candidates if they have a better chance of beating him. 9:33 AM • 6/25/25 • 29 Views At time of posting, there are four likes.

Brennan Lee Mulligan summing up the content of my soul in (sadly more than) six words.
Redheaded man in a black shirt looking over his right shoulder speaking to someone off camera. It is Brennan Lee Mulligan on the set of Dimension 20. He's quoted asking "Rick can we make a Gundam by tomorrow?"

Gynocentric communication.
Stone statue. A large headed large eyed figure craved in a way to suggest she is squatting and opening her mons to show her vagina. An Irish sacred image Sheela na Gig.

I took HBO's "Which Deadwood Character Are You?" quiz! Click here to take the quiz.
A mean looking Catholic style nun (not especially sexy-ifide) aiming a shotgun. She's got blood on her and wicked scars. Done in a real pulpy style. From Red Dead Redemption I think. Anyway what a badass.

"But Mena, how do you even JUSTIFY running a grim dark fantasy?!?!"

Umm... My credentials:
A screen shot from my steam library where it shows I've put 338+ hours into Elden Ring. Somehow. I have no idea.

A baby strixwolf (wolf owl) you can tell it's a baby because there's a pacifier in its mouth behind its hand. Trust me. Anyway, its eyes are red and it has a knife. This makes sense in context.

My oldest is playing a character who does Capoeira. And so naturally, I am going to show her the best capoeria movie from 1993.
Only the Strong movie poster or maybe CD cover I don't know. But anyway, Mark Dacascos is looking SO GOOD and the other guy who doesn't get billing is looking mad mean. They're posed to start fighting any moment now.

Dear @jeffstormer.gobirds.online

Go Birds!

(From @greatgatesy.bsky.social 's group of gremlins. to whom we are all grateful for this catch.)
From a group chat. "did you see the subtitles don't know Italian and fuckin said philly Super Bowl" Two images of the new Pope saying some Italian stuff. The subtitles do, indeed, suggest the pop is saying Super Bowl and Philly. "go birds baby"

My SIL sent me this because she's the second funniest person I know.
That bit in Supernatural where Castiel goes to super hell because he love Dean. (It is illegal to love Dean because he is for me. ME.) The image is edited so they're wearing kind cardinal hat. And Dean is saying "habemus papam" which is church latin for "I got a daddy." Er. I mean. "We have a pope."

The average American has three friends.
Two men squeeze their butts against a third man between them in a non sexual way clearly meant to irritate him. They are on a brightly colored striped background. One of the men is wearing a "no problem" sweat shirt and looks like he sounds like batman. One of the men is a ginger, and the man in the middle being bothered is a lebisan. This is from the Dropout show Make Some Noise and it is very good.

This one in particular
A deeply beautiful print called "A Garland for May Day 1895." A goddess in a Phrygian cap in front of a wreath of plenty. The wreath is wrapped in a white ribbon that reads things like "No Child Toilers" and "Production for use not for profit" and "The land for the people."

I don't like this game. :(
It's the RX-81AS G-Line which does not fit my ascetic. It's slim white bodied gundam (Giant battle robots from Japan) with big ugly green plates.

When I wasn't thinking about Meat Ooze this week, I took some certified standard issue spring pictures of our tiny cherry blossom.
Two spring branches stretched across a bright white sky. The branch in the foreground boasts a few cherry blossom buds. In the distance, out of focus, is some much taller older trees. A cluster of cherry blossom buds hang heavy on young tree limb. White-pink with a few green buds still sharing the cluster. In the background, out of focus, a wooden fence and beyond, some great older tree.

I never do this but....

WHERE DID THE 9 COME FROM?!?! Oh we are fucked.
Andrew Yang posts If something goes down 10% and then up 10% are you back where you started? No because the decrease is from a bigger number. E.g., 100 - 10 =90 + 9 = 99 Some guy named Gregg with a blue check: Huh? Down 10% then up 10% then why is your E.g., not 100-10=90+10=100? Where'd the 9 come from?

Wishing all Cybertruck drivers a very this:
Three ignoramuses standing an a pair looking at a mostly submerged cyberturck. Apparently they were trying to launch their jet ski with it or something. So. They deserve it. I hop ether wives and girl friends leave them and they get fired from their jobs and replaced by AI.
