Wow. This may qualify as ruin porn to some degree, but it still inspires me to want to write stories and play games in a place with this in it. I love it.

The year is 1839.

There was just one thing about it, though, that bugged me. It was relatively small compared to what an airship gasbag would theoretically need to be in order to lift a sailing-ship hull into the air. To be honest, normally I don’t worry…

ipoog:

why call yourself a “gamer girl” why not just gamer

doctor girl teacher girl cashier girl janitor girl scientist girl

do you realize how dumb that sounds

same reason why I reject the term “actress”.

do you call female doctors “doctresses”?

is a female teacher a “teachress”?

it is politically incorrect to call a flight attendant a stewardess.

And I am a fucking actor.

Yes, this.

One of the first ingredients tossed into the V&V project cauldron was my creation of a Lego Steampunk airship. I’d seen several other cool bits of Lego Steampunkery online and I wanted to try my own. The ship part came together easily enough and the huge…

2013: The Year the Monkey Meets His Fate:

This year, I’m determined to prove something to myself. I’m determined to be a finisher. I’m determined to put a big dent in the well-earned reputation I have for having great ideas and starting interesting projects and then never finishing them enough to put out into the world.

And in honor of the fact that this is going to be a really big year for Evil Hat’s magnificent FATE system in any case - just look at the FateCore Kickstarter - I’m celebrating the game that I recently identified as my favorite of all time life-saving go-to system.

This is the year I dance with Fate.

Sometimes, it’s okay to stop worrying about propriety and just enjoy some talented people having fun.

Insert my typical gush-line about how awesome Jared & J.R. both are here.

She nestled her weary body in his powerful arms, search for refuge from the chill. “If you’re king,” she began, trying to phrase her question delicately as possible. “If you’re king, then you should be ruling all over this land, right? Because you’re king.”

“I do,” said the Troll King. His powerful steps fell in to a soothing rhythm. “I am king of the under places, and the ones above. Those who would look at a bridge and see a roof are my subjects, as are those who would look at a roof and see a bridge.”

“Do you have many subjects?” she said, a yawn obscuring most of her words.

“Too many to count. I rule over the forgotten, the misplaced, the unexpected. All those who do not fit fall under my rule. Which makes my kingdom very large, indeed. I have been traveling it since I became king, and I have yet to see the end.”

“How did you become king?” she asked.

“The usual way.”

“Was your father king?” The Troll King laughed at that, a rumbling like an avalanche of boulders underneath his waistcoat.

“No, Little One. My father was not king. He and my mother drowned in dirt and dust all of their lives. Nobility is not a birthright.” The Troll King looked down at the brave girl in his arms, her eyes lidded with sleep. “But I imagine you know that, don’t you?”
