So my D&D players have a powerful devil trapped in a shield that has been helping them through the mission in Hell. But now that the mission is near completion, the devil is demanding a deal for his release in order to continue providing his powers. 1/
The devil pointed out that, with his telepathy, he could be very annoying if they didn't agree. To demonstrate, he started singing "All-Star" and "Tubthumper."
*Tubthumping
Players were asking how the devil could know such songs, and I pointed out that they scour the multiverse for the most persistent earworms.

Decided to watch the original 1970s Westworld tonight.
Always forget how genuinely creepy Yul Brynner is in this.
Kind of fascinating that Westworld, released in 1973, uses the idea of a computer virus to explain the breakdown. The very first computer virus appeared in 1971.

Saw this shared by a friend, and gonna do it here, too, at least until I get bored... Image
1. Kung Fu Hustle. Tells a delightful and optimistic story, with some really wonderful nods to classic films and unexpected twists! (And really cool characters!)
2. Field of Dreams. Soooo many movies about wonderful magical events also end up stressing, essentially, "all good things must come to an end." Field of Dreams destroys that notion, and gives us an ending that makes everything that has happened before make sense.

While I'm waiting to possibly play a boardgame tonight, let me do an #OldSchoolDungeonsAndDragons (which may get interrupted for a while while I game): Dragons, by Cory Glaberson (1986)! Image
"Dragons" is another supplement in the Role Aids line for D&D that was produced by Mayfair Games, originally under the untested premise that TSR couldn't sue them for making unlicensed products!
Okay, let me pick up this #OldSchoolDungeonsAndDragons thread that got interrupted on the weekend... because I was playing D&D! So we're talking "Dragons," part of the Role Aids line of products for D&D. Image

On the eve of this Super Tuesday, I feel like getting a few thoughts off my chest about how I've viewed and approached the primary and its candidates. A short thread...
First: it's worth noting that EVERY candidate has issues from their past, in their personal history or voting record or both. The United States is a very diverse country, and it is almost impossible to live a public life without upsetting somebody.
And that's not to dismiss that anger or say it isn't justified, just that... we need to focus on lifting our candidates and their ideas up, not tearing them down.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS AS DUNGEONS & DRAGONS MONSTERS: A THREAD
Rudy Giuliani: Gibbering Mouther. Utterly disgusting creature whose incessant babbling can cause confusion or even insanity.
Kellyanne Conway: Lich. Was once human, but became completely corrupted in mind and body due to a twisted pursuit of power. Now a skeletal form.

Time for some #OldSchoolDungeonsAndDragons, and a real treat: Dave Arneson's First Fantasy Campaign, first published in 1977!
So, first things first: who was Dave Arneson (1947-2009)? Arneson was the co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, along with Gary Gygax, and really the first person to introduce true fantasy wargaming.
Arneson had introduced fantasy campaigning in 1970 into his wargaming group, and drew upon fantasy elements from Gygax's "Chainmail" combat rules. Arneson met Gygax in 1972 and showed off his campaign setting, which led to the founding of D&D and TSR.
