Your father planted a tree and said, ‘As long as this tree is alive and healthy, so is my son.’ That was 200 years ago. Today, the tree still stands, defying time, but what of the son?

Stay proud, fellow Pride Knights!

thinking about how clip art and kids cartoons have an Archetypal Monkey (chimp sounds, prehensile tail like new world monkeys, brachiates like a gibbon, head and face vaguely macaque like) and an Archetypal Bat (large eyes like a fruit bat, tiny microbat feet, vampire bat fangs (hardly accurate to Desmodus, but that’s the intent)). I guess also there is the Generalized Crocodilian that is somehow a very bright green and Generalized Snake that is venomous and has a rattle and also somehow constricts. what other cartoon creatures just blend together various taxa into a wildly inaccurate hybrid freak

Caves are weirder and more varied than you think

Random Thoughts on Statting Deities in Pathfinder 1E

It always bothered me that, unlike D&D, Pathfinder never even explored the idea of stats for deities above the level of demigods. So I stayed up last night thinking about it and brainstormed a few rough ideas.

Creatures up to CR 25 that can grant spells to worshipers (like Treerazer) and mythic characters with the Divine Source path ability are the equivalent of D&D’s (specifically Greyhawk’s) quasi-deities. Creatures from CR 26-30 that can grant spells (like true demon lords and archdevils) are demigods.

Note that each 2 mythic tiers/ranks adds +1 CR and that the following rules would be for NPCs only (unless the GM has a high tolerance for wild shit).

My idea is that once a character reaches mythic tier 10 and level 20 (CR 25), they can start gaining levels above 20 (see rules for epic level progression in the D&D 3.5 DMG). If they do, they become a demigod and automatically gain three instances of the Divine Source path ability (for a total of four domains) if they don’t already. Demigods can advance up to level 25 (CR 30).

Anything CR 31 or higher would be considered a true god. Instead of having class levels and mythic tiers, every true deity would be a unique creature (outsider for most deities, but aberration, dragon, fey, undead, and other creature types would be possible) with racial Hit Dice and exactly 10 mythic ranks. True gods grant access to five domains (and six subdomains), may have the equivalent of an appropriate class or classes’ abilities up to their CR (similar to the Monster Codex’s simple class templates), might have unique abilities, and possibly would have powers based on Deities & Demigods 3.0′s salient divine abilities.

For conversion purposes, D&D’s lesser gods would be CR 31-34, intermediate gods CR 35-37, and greater gods CR 38-40 (and perhaps higher, but we’re already way out of bounds for normal CR calculation).

Rules for avatars and aspects require further thought on my part.

This is all just spitballing and obviously would require tons of playtesting, especially since d20 game balance notoriously breaks down after around level 30.

Apparently my director went to see a production of West Side Story a few years ago, and the guy playing Chino forgot his gun before coming out for his final scene. Once it got to the big scene where he is supposed to shoot Tony, he screeched “Poison Boots” and kicked the actor playing Tony until he went down. The girl playing Maria then had to jerk the shoe off of Chino’s foot, and had to do the gunshot scene asking “How many kicks Chino? How many kicks, and one kick left for me”. 

I've been animating this commission for a long time. The character turned out to be very detailed. There was another reason. My cat Enya died in the summer of August 5th at 19 years of age. As I write this, I realize that it is still very difficult for me.

I once animated short film for my college. There was character based on my cat in it. Would you like to see it? I made it in 2014. Quite raw and unfinished work. I now have a dream - to redo this short with my current skills.

I don't plan to open commissions anytime soon. I’m thinking of finishing the gift and animating one commission that was promised a long time ago. After this I hope to start remake of a short film. Maybe couple of commissions between the scenes.

I think the funniest dynamic for arranged-marriage royalty would be a queen who came here 100% prepared to murder her future husband and rule as a widow queen in her own right, only to discover that the king is autistic as hell and responds to her wish to rule with "oh thank god please do, I don't want to be bothered by these people. I can just tell them to go bother you instead, if you really want that. I've got beetles I wanted to study."

@theshitpostcalligrapher This just arrived today, thank you, this is the most beautiful piece of art I've ever owned.

the grim reaper being armed with an enormous razor sharp scythe becomes a lot less intimidating when you understand just how common a tool scythes actually were in the pre industrial era of agriculture. it's like if we invented a personification of death called "the dark handyman" who takes souls by loosening them from the body with his wrench.
