Craving Adventure

I'm not sure what it is, but this picture just beckons! Its the beginning of an adventure . . . may be time to hit the table and play some Castles & Crusades (just played last night! ha).

Or the fine folks over there make a really tough tongue twister.

Here it is: Pad kid poured curd pulled cod.

I'm not really sure that's a sentence, but then again, maybe tongue twister aren't supposed to be complete sentences, though I am sure there is some regulatory body that covers the rules to tongue twisters.

Daily Cosplay (Steampunk DC)

Wonder Woman Cast

Seems that Wonder Woman has been cast for the upcoming round of movies. Gal Gadot, an Israeli actress with some few credits under her belt. Though everyone is already up in arms with complaints, well, everyone on the internet which I'm convinced is 14 dudes posting under different names.

I've read she's too thin, too small, too young, no muscular enough, isn't an amazon. I read enough of it that I began to think that Wonder Woman was some butch super hero from Sling Blade.

I culled a few shots from the net to see what kind of different look you get for the lass aside from the glamor shots that dominate image searches. Here are two I came up with.

So before I cast judgement I'll have to see her in the movie.

Holy Crap they Found Erde

The original name for the Castles and Crusades World was Erde, we changed it later to Aihrde…all this is explained in the forthcoming Codex of Aihrde…but it would seem that some German astronomers have found the world of Erde at last.

Its 2500 light years away and circles the star Keplar 90.

How awesome is that?

Megalopolis

This is like something out of Judge Dread. Kowloon was a fort in Hong Kong leased to the English way back when. They didn't use it as a fort and people began settling there and building houses. Houses were built on houses and it slowly rose throughout the 20th century into this massive city complex complete with its own food markets (to include butcher shops), doctors, dentists and everything else one finds in a city. Some people lived there and never came out.

It was destroyed in 1993/94 as being too unsanitary and hazardous.

But what a city!
