Anyone know what game these maps came from?

In both cases, water damage has fused the sheets together, so they’re supposed to unfold to twice their size, but won’t.

The smaller one is about 8½″ × 5½″ (21.5cm × 13.5cm), and should (but won’t) unfold to about 8½″ × 11″ (21.5cm × 27cm). The larger is twice as big. The hexes are about ¾″ (2cm) across, edge-to-edge.

More treasure, and a tragedy. My box of old Dragon magazines got water-damaged, and was a near-total loss, with only my copy of Best of the Dragon vol 1 surviving to tell the tale. I’d have thrown ’em all away (except for the Best Of) anyway, so no great loss, but also among the irretrievably damaged was my copy of the Finieous Treasury, a collection of Finieous Fingers comic strips.

At least my copy of the Ysgarth RPG survived, as did my remaining copies of Adventurer’s Club magazine.

Some old #ttRPG treasure, found while cleaning out my mom’s closet!

Sadly, that Top Secret box contains just an adventure, not the actual game, and the Marvel SHRPG boxes don’t seem to have the actual games in ’em either.

But Ringworld seems intact!

I like how #Apple announced new M2-based MacBooks Pro two days ago, and one of Google’s four headlined news articles is a #Forbes article (originally published five days ago) about how Apple is screwing things up and won’t announce the new machines till this summer.

Just got to this bit in PRIDE & PREJUDICE, and I’m wondering how many Republican-led states are gonna ban it now.

rude language, star wars, pulp fiction

This is underwhelming.

Hey, wait a minute…!

Chris & I are watching James Corden (yeah, I know), and he’s doing a bit with the premise that Bruce is a hyper-masculine name.

And we note that things have changed a lot since we were kids, in the ’70s, when Bruce was considered an effeminate gay name.

There was a popular rumor that the HULK TV show had changed Bruce Banner’s name for fear that it wasn’t manly. MAD had a gag in their HULK parody about it!

I have no idea where either connotation came from.

Apparently today is #photomonday! Or so the little trending thing tells me.

Which is as good an excuse as any to post these #photos I took in September. I think someone on Facebook had said something about cities not having any trees, or some nonsense like that, so I wandered through my #Brooklyn nabe and took these. Enjoy!
