Left field: Fey are both chaotic and lawful. They love pranks, mischief and discord. But they’re also fans of making deals, and will honor them…though they’re also fans may be prone to twisting words & interpretations. So for more ideas on that chaotic element, consider the legends of...

When we’ve lived in places that deal with real snowfalls regularly, dealing with snow personally was no big deal. But living in places where serious winter precipitation is a rarity, it becomes much more difficult to handle at the household level. And the same goes for dealing with hot...

I’m a relatively adventurous eater, but I know my limitations. I’d pass on balut, for instance. And I was given a chance to try hormigas culonas (literally, “big assed ants) that had been roasted & salted. My dad tried it, but also gave me a plausible- and truthful out. He said it tasted...

Yep. And from what I understand, it’s still…pungent…after it become edible. Sorta like Surströmming. Definitely two acquired tastes I have no interest in acquiring.

Mage: The Ascension/Spirit of 77 Esoteric Magic + well…a bunch of stuff from the 70s. Bruce Lee films. Shaft. The Rockford Files. Starsky & Hutch. Dukes of Hazard. Return to Witch Mountain. Kolchak: The Night Stalker. Columbo.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Sons of Adam and the Daughters of Eve being a bit more…streetwise. “Witches get stitches!” “Tumnus, put some PANTS on you freaky little P-Diddy wannabe!”

We’re just hunkering down. But in all honesty, we haven’t gotten much of it yet. The worst of it is supposed to hit tonight.

Shoulda done Tron/Trek. Holodeck shenanigans! Deadly disks vs bat’leths! Kurt Giambastiani’s Cloudfall novels would be a cool “weird west” setting to work with. American westbound expansion encountering dino-riding First Nations tribes?* Gold! You could either play it mundane or add magic...
