OH. MY. GODDESS.
http://dresdencodak.tumblr.com/post/...eo-game-tropes I can only post the blurb at the end, because most of the link's content is in the form of pictures, but quoting Dresden Codak author Aaron Diaz: "Inspired by Anita Sarkeesian’s Video Game Tropes vs Women, I wanted to pitch a Zelda game where Zelda herself was the hero, rescuing a Prince Link. "Clockwork Empire is set 2,000 years after Twilight Princess, and is not a reboot, but simply another iteration in the Zelda franchise. It just so happens that in this case, Zelda is the protagonist. I’m a very big Zelda fan, and worked hard to draw from key elements in the continuity and mythos. "This concept work is meant to show that Zelda as a game protagonist can be both compelling and true to the franchise, while bringing new and dynamic game elements that go farther than being a simple gender swap." |

Harry Potter stars: Where are they now?
Well, as it turns out, the actor who plays Ron Weasley bought himself an ice cream truck and goes around giving away ice cream to kids for free.
This is the kind of thing rich geeks do with their money :) https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...27568690_n.jpg |

Animals in the wild have to continually contend with the expansion of human civilization. Certain wild animals have learned to coexist and even thrive in urban settings, pigeons and raccoons being obvious examples. Well, subway goers in Moscow are becoming familiar with stray dogs. These dogs have become accustomed to using the subway system as a means to travel across Moscow, even managing to catch a nap along the way. The dogs hop on in the morning and travel to the city center where they spend the day begging for scraps. At the end of the day they get back on the subway and travel to the suburbs where they sleep in relative safety. The dogs have become experts at judging the length of time they need to stay on the train, and seem to work together to ensure that they exit the subway at the right stop. Scientists believe this phenomenon began after the Soviet Union collapsed in the 1990s, and Russia’s new capitalists moved industrial complexes from the city center to the suburbs. Dr Andrei Poiarkov, of the Moscow Ecology and Evolution Institute, said: “These complexes were used by homeless dogs as shelters, so the dogs had to move together with their houses. Because the best scavenging for food is in the city center, the dogs had to learn how to travel on the subway – to get to the center in the morning, then back home in the evening, just like people.” |

...So my GM is going to run a RuneQuest game set in Pavis during the Second Age, for which the other two players are playing a bard who follows Nandan/Ernalda and a blacksmith who follows Gustbran the Bonesmith. I will probably be playing a young warrior who follows Vinga, after going apostate from the very patriarchal faith she was raised in to join the Storm Tribe.
If there is anyone here to whom that was not complete and utter gibberish, please tell me. |
