Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.

While in the LOTR movies Denethor just randomly went crazy, that's not the whole story.

Denethor became a doomer. He spent all night scrolling through bad news on his magic device, because the Dark Lord only let him see bad news and not good, until he lost all hope and it broke him.
But Gandalf ’s face was grave and sad, and bidding Beregond and Pippin to take Faramir into the Houses of Healing, he went up on to the walls nearby; and there like a figure carven in white he stood in the new sun and looked out. And he beheld with the sight that was given to him all that had befallen; and when E´ omer rode out from the forefront of his battle and stood beside those who lay upon the field, he sighed, and he cast his cloak about him again, and went from the walls. And Beregond and Pippin found him standing in thought before the door of the Houses when they came out. They looked at him, and for a while he was silent. At last he spoke. ‘My friends,’ he said, ‘and all you people of this city and of the Western lands! Things of great sorrow and renown have come to pass. Shall we weep or be glad? Beyond hope the Captain of our foes has been destroyed, and you have heard the echo of his last despair. But he has not gone without woe and bitter loss. And that I might have averted but for the madness of Denethor. So long has the reach of our Enemy become! Alas! but now I perceive how his will was able to enter into the very heart of the City. ‘Though the Stewards deemed that it was a secret kept only by themselves, long ago I guessed that here in the White Tower, one at least of the Seven Seeing Stones was preserved. In the days of his wisdom Denethor would not presume to use it to challenge Sauron, knowing the limits of his own strength. But his wisdom failed; and I fear that as the peril of his realm grew he looked in the Stone and was deceived: far too often, I guess, since Boromir departed. He was too great to be subdued to the will of the Dark Power, he saw nonethe- less only those things which that Power permitted him to see. The knowledge which he obtained was, doubtless, often of service to him; yet the vision of the great might of Mordor that was shown to him fed the despair of his heart until it overthrew his mind.’ ‘Now I understand what seemed so strange to me!’ said Pippin, shuddering at his memories as he spoke. ‘The Lord went away from the room where Faramir lay; and it was only when he returned that I first thought he was changed, old and broken.’ ‘It was in the very hour that Faramir was brought to the Tower that many of us saw a strange light in the topmost chamber,’ said Beregond. ‘But we have seen that light before, and it has long been rumoured in the City that the Lord would at times wrestle in thought with his Enemy.’ ‘Alas! then I have guessed rightly,’ said Gandalf. ‘Thus the will of Sauron entered into Minas Tirith; and thus I have been delayed here. And here I shall still be forced to remain, for I shall soon have other charges, not Faramir only. ‘Now I must go down to meet those who come. I have seen a sight upon the field that is very grievous to my heart, and greater sorrow may yet come to pass. Come with me, Pippin! But you, Beregond, should return to the Citadel and tell the chief of the Guard there what has befallen.

If you see this, post something toothy!

Check out this take on #Hexcrawl25 by the Patchwork Paladin. She took my humble challenge and elevated it! Her blog is a great resource for OSR style TTRPGs.. and in this blog post she shares an awesome Obsidian template for this challenge. Enjoy!

Mostly to try and keep on top of what is out there but hopefully it is helpful to other people.

I finished Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk and wrote a review, miniblins.blogspot.com/2024/04/phan...
TL;DR: It had cool bits but ultimately disappointed. 5/10 do better.

Because it's relevant (again), just a reminder that we small Indies don't have shareholders to satisfy, just bills to pay. No queuing system, no scalpers, just people genuinely pleased with every order you make. And while Likes are lovely, Retweeting is the best way to help with visibility for us.

Family friend gave the baby a bag of old toys from when we were kids, and friends I went on a JOURNEY before realizing this was Snuffleupagus
It is a dick-shaped toy. It is a plastic toy of a gangly uncut wiener hanging from a taut shorn nutsack. Oh, the toy was Snuffleufagus the whole time. A shit-ass early-80s low-effort Snuffleufagus that contains a remarkable multitude of dongs for such a simple mold.

Not sure what the deal is with retweeting your own stuff but I'll try it once when at least a few Americans might be awake.

Flee, Mortals!
Is MCDM's monster book worth the hype or an expensive gimmick? I wrote a review with my thoughts.
