It was a great adventure though. There may be some treasure yet. I highly recommend going. It inspired me to make a real parchment map and my own One Eyed Willie.

My favorite art for all of D&D.

Have you ever wondered what happened to that brave warrior facing off against that awesome Red Dragon?

The answer was given to us in 1983 way before any modern interpretations. A thread 🧵

When I was a young man, I made a display of historical pirate flags for my dad. We watched many swashbuckling tales together. While they are historical in the sense that they are drawn from old books, they are only based on written descriptions. There are only 3 captured real flags known.

#FrankensteinFriday

If you want to infuse a spark of life into your being, I suggest you view @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein this Friday. A truly galvanizing experience! No course stitching only fine lines and beautiful cinematography. It will haunt you immortally with pathos.

The Incredible Hulk Television Series is 48 years old today. While other Marvel comic characters had made it to the small screen before it, The Incredible Hulk was the company's first successful live-action series.
