I need to get another good ramble out:

Most people, when they think of psychedelic music, will probably think The Beatles, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Iron Butterfly, or maybe Led Zeppelin. But few bands took psychedelic to the level that Magma did.

Magma was a French group led by drummer Christian Vander, founded in 1969 (nice) to express Vander’s disturbing “vision of humanity’s spiritual and ecological future”. As such their music is loosely psychedelic/prog/space rock with a hell of an emphasis on the story: Each album the band produced is part of the epic Kobaïa story: humanity flees a doomed earth to find a new habitable planet. They land on the planet Kobaïa. Over thousands of years, a Kobaïan culture develops, and runs into conflict with the earth refugees who are only just now arriving.

Now things get fun: Vander determined that English and French weren’t good enough languages to describe and express the story he had in his mind, so he CREATED HIS OWN LANGUAGE called Kobaïan, a mix of German and Slavic sounds that Vander felt had the right guttural feel for the musical sounds he was writing. And EVERY ALBUM THE BAND HAS PRODUCED IS IN THIS LANGUAGE!

The language was so instrumental to the band and their sound that their avant/prog/space psychedelic rock style was eventually called zeuhl, from the Kobaïan word for “celestial” or “vibratory”, and Vander says even the way you say the word should express that vibratory sensation.

Zeuhl is now a term used by several other bands, though how well they actually meet the Magma style of zeuhl is debatable.

Artists as varied as Johnny Rotten, Steven Wilson, Mikael Åkerfeldt, and Alejandro Jodorowsky are listed by Wikipedia as fans of Magma.

So enough of that; here’s their music: please note their songs are rarely under 10 minutes, and can go well over 20 minutes, so make sure you get comfy first

youtube

This should do for now. Enjoy the absolute weirdness

I noticed last night you posted a lot of art by HR Geiger but I didn’t see an artist credit on any of them. Do you often post art without crediting the artist?

HR Geiger is a big name and everyone knows his work (he designed the xenomorph and sets of Alien and Aliens), but you should still credit him to keep in the habit of crediting artists. There are a lot of small time, niche, and obscure sci-fi artists that no one would know about unless art blogs like this that expose people to art they might not see otherwise credit them properly.

Good question! I originally had the credit, and it was eaten because of an issue with the auto-posting setup I use. I use a service that auto-posts to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram but not Tumblr, so I have an IFTTT app set up to post from Facebook to Tumblr. This setup is the only way to get alt text on FB/twitter/Insta, but there's one catch. Every multi-image post on Facebook gets ported over as multiple posts on Tumblr, and the caption for all of them doesn't carry over.

I've been trying to edit in the captions (which I just did for those HR Giger pics), but sometimes I'll miss it for a while. I really like the setup on the whole, so I don't want to change it, but I'll probably cut down on multi-image posts after I'm done promoting my art book preorders in another month. I might experiment with similar IFTTT apps that might be better.

In retrospect this helps explain why people were asking me if I could credit artists more a week or two back! Anyway, tell all your alt-text-needers to follow me on Twitter or Facebook.

So my girlfriend and I dropped acid last week for her birthday, and something just *clicked* in my that made me really good at domming her. Now I've been on top more than a couple times but I'm never aroused by the fact that I'm in charge. But acid DID something and I felt so incredibly powerful and sexy. I had so much fun taunting at her and literally laughing at her gagging on me in the shower (imagine an HR Geiger painting). At one point I shouted "I AM 136 POUNDS OF COLD TWISTED STEEL" which she thought was really hot somehow.

But now I gotta figure out how I can get into that dominant mindspace without using hard psychedelics as a sex drug.

Phyrexia

(The Fourth Sphere by Dave Kendall)

What is Phyrexia?

Phyrexia is a disease. It spreads, infects, and consumes. Phyrexia is a faith. It has gods, beliefs, and practices. Phyrexia is a threat. It's coming for you.

Phyrexia is one of the oldest and most unique factions in the card game Magic the Gathering. It has a focus on machinery and body horror that blurs the line between fantasy and science fiction. It has a long history, both within the fiction and as a fiction, and style that draws inspiration from a lot (Hi HR Geiger) but is fully its own idea; all this makes it ripe to translate to Pathfinder. (Innistrad, for example, also has rich history, but is the exact same niche as Ustalav, so I have no reason to make conversions.) This page intends to serve as a guide to Phyrexia for outsiders, as well as outline the conversion I'm making.

Old Phyrexia in Magic: the Gathering

(I am not an expert on the pre-mending lore of MtG; this intends to serve as a drive-by of the important points. That era of Magic is messy and has a lot of nits and details.)

In lore, Phyrexia began as a sort of cult surrounding a man named Yawgmoth, a doctor from an ancient science-magic society called the Thran. Technically, the original plane of Phyrexia was not created by Yawgmoth, but by a powerful Planeswalker (interdimensional godline being whose power would later get massively nerfed, as a category), but Yawgmoth quickly made it his own.

From there, the humans he brought with him turned to biomechanical experimentation and built a religion aroung Yawgmoth, who became known as the Father of the Machines. They were, unfortunately, trapped on the plane- Yawgmoth (who had ascended to a godlike state) wished to bring his conquest back to Dominaria (the plane from which they came) and beyond.

(Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor by Anna Bodedworna)

There were two major incursions of Phyrexia into Dominaria- first, the Brother's War, a story that was old when Magic was new. Two brothers- Urza and Mishra- had found powerful Thran artifacts, which lead to a power struggle between them. Mishra eventually found a Phyrexian portal, became corrupted (a recurring theme of Phyrexia), and eventually lost when Urza unleashed a magical nuke on the plane, hurtling Dominaria into a supernatural ice age and turning him into one of the godlike Planeswalkers.

The second was the conclusion of the Weatherlight Saga, an arc somwhat orchestrated by the now-ancient being that Urza had become and focusing on a man named Gerard and the crew of an interplanar vessel called the Weatherlight. They first show up having corrupted and taken over Rath, as well as Gerard's adopted brother Vuel. The saga concludes with the plane of Rath being overlaid onto Dominaria in an event that ended with most of the cast dead and Phyrexia and Yawgmoth as it stood destroyed, where they would stay for about a decade.

New Phyrexia in Magic: the Gathering

In 2009 Scars of Mirrodin was released, revealing that the setting of Mirrodin (Magic's other most original and interesting setting, sigh) had in fact been corrupted by Phyrexian Oil. The war, which lasted a year in real life, saw Mirrodin being almost entirely consumed and remade into New Phyrexia, a setting with a new art direction and five new leaders.

(artist unknown)

New Phyrexia, and exploring it card-by-card on a now defunct MtG card archive, was my personal introduction to the setting, and the style of Phyrexia that I am most fond of. It now encompassed all five colors of Magic, each with their own distinct subfaction, and felt less like an 80s metal album cover and more like its own, separate thing (for better or worse, to be clear, 80s metal album covers own).

In the 2020s, New Phyrexia had an arc where they had managed to successfully travel to other planes, and used that to do a big multiverse invasion that ended with all but one of their leaders dead and the nature of planes and planeswalkers in the wider MtG setting changed in a precedented paradigm shift.

Phyrexia on Golarion

So, with all that out of the way, let's talk about how I plan to translate that into MtG.

Phyrexian Beliefs Phyrexians are supremacists of a sort; they believe that their way, darwinist philosophy surrounding the forced merging of metal and flesh, is the one true way. Fortunately, they are not here to exterminate others- simply to convert them, by force. "All will be One."

To this end they spread across the galaxy, consuming entire planets and converting their flesh to glorious Phyrexian constructs.

Yawgmoth Yawgmoth is the progenitor of Phyrexia and its god, although by New Phyrexia he's very much dead. The five praetors took his place, with him existing mostly as allusions, even as a past failure that they will not replicate! (spoiler: they fail).

Personally, I like Yawgmoth existing in past tense. He was the god of Phyrexia, but he has been killed- possibly by some great Good divinity trying to end his scourge, more likely through conflict with the nihilistic Dominion of Black. Either way, his name is spoken in Phyrexia with both reverence and shame, and the five Praetors now each carry a fraction of his divinity.

The Five Praetors Now in Magic canon 4/5 of them are dead now, and during the lead-up there was a lot of political jockeying, but I will have them as they existed in between NPH and the Invasion arc; With Elesh Norn as de facto leader, Jin-Gitaxias and Vorinclex respecting her but doing their own thing, and Sheoldred and Urabrask believing in Phyrexia but not in Norn's graces.

Planes and Planets The nature of Planes in MtG is different from planes in Pathfinder/DnD; they're their own self-contained world, each possibly with their own cosmology, rather than being the cosmology of one coherent world. As such, I am changing Phyrexia from an interplanar threat to an interstellar one.

The Praetors, while about on the level of a nascent demon lord, are divinities of the material plane; they lack a home in the outer sphere.

Phyrexia and Other Factions Because the Praetors are acting as their own divinities, Phyrexia has little to no relationship with the gods at work on Golarion, as well as with the Outer and Elder gods.

As I alluded to before, Phyrexians have a poor relationship to the Dominion of Black. The Dominion is nihilistic, seeking to destroy all life, while the Phyrexians seek to consume and convert it. If you want to take the Illithids from @thecreaturecodex's conversion, they almost certainly have a poor relationship with them too.

If your Dark Tapestry is feeling a bit crowded but you want to include Phyrexia, I would personally use them as a replacement for the Dominion. If you did so, I would moisturize Numeria so to speak, replacing much of its harsh desert with noxious swampland more palatable to Phyrexian tastes.
