I like it! A little white/bone on the horns and wing claw-tips would pop and give great contrast with very little effort. :)

That's on Netflix, right? I want to watch it, and it and Sentimental Value are the Best Picture nominees which I haven't seen yet and are on services I have. I've only seen Sinners, OBAA, and Frankenstein of the nominees this year.

Still slowly working through the back half of Letterkenny with my brother. Remains a lot of fun, though I don't want to binge it. 1-3 episodes at a time is a great chill entertainment while we shoot the breeze during Hulu commercials and sip a couple of beers. In the middle of the first season...

Nice work! Rest and recovery is great too. :)

I started with Wyrd Sisters, so it wasn't too deep in, with that much lore in the past. I did go back to catch up from the beginning but The Colour of Magic felt like a REAL dip in quality and a slog by comparison.

I borrowed that from the King County library system in... 1991, 1992? I remember is being good but mixed.

This has been a hobby horse of mine forever. The Elric stories are my go-to example where real world publication order is always best. Same applies (not quite as severely) to Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser. Edit: I guess my one counterexample is Discworld. The first couple/few books are among...

Breathing better and better. Sleep seems good too; finally got a new humidifier for the bedroom in the new place, too. Wednesday evening: Smith barbell inclined bench: 100x12, 100x12, 100x10; increased weight, dropped reps by 2, 2, 1 from Sunday. Machine biceps curls: 70x20, 70x16, 70x18...

Star Wars might be the original example, though less because of the films (which had a 16 year gap between RotJ and TPM), than because of the toys, posters, t-shirts, Burger King glasses, Holiday Special, Star Tours Disney ride, Expanded Universe series of novels... All of which helped feed the...

Some versions of polymorph do include healing. Polymorph Self in AD&D, for example, heals the caster 1d12 points when they return to their own form. I suppose it comes down to a few factors, primarily: 1. Game balance. Is it good for the game/does it support good play if this spell (which is...

If we see someone pushing Lost Cause mythology/historical revisionism we've got a couple of possibilities. Genuine (hopefully correctable) ignorance, or entrenched bigotry. Unfortunately some of the latter is usually mixed in even when it's the former, IME. I avoided participating in Norse...

Watched it last night and quite enjoyed it. The characters are fun, the acting is good and the visuals great, the world is consistent with the one we know, and the stakes high enough without being epic.

I think, as I already said, that there's room for nuance. As Voadam pointed out and eloquently illustrated, for example. OTOH there are obvious edge cases. If someone enthusiastically recommends that their friends read The Turner Diaries, or Barker's Serpent's Walk, without any caveats about...
