Drinking Quest Trilogy - Kickstarter

We’ve told you about the Drinking Quest games before. They’re fun, light tabletop RPGs that are also drinking games! They’re great for introducing friends to pen and paper RPGs over a few drinks. 

Now, the entire trilogy will be available in one box, with new improvements and bonuses. Fully colored cards for games 1 and 2, a combat system with multiple dice, larger cards, and even 3 new quests await heroes on a humorous boozy adventure. 

The Kickstarter has been funded, but there’s still a week left to attain stretch goals. My favorite of these is an entire new quest inspired by everyone’s favorite Blue Bomber. 

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Kickstarter without a ton of pledge rewards. Want to play a game of Drinking Quest with Mitch from The Drunken Moogle, Jason Anarchy (the creator of Drinking Quest), and Blake Boston (Scumbag Steve)? It’s your lucky day, because that’s one of the perk levels!

For more info on Drinking Quest Trilogy Edition, head over to the Kickstarter

Having an anxiety disorder is like that moment where your chair almost tips or you miss a step going down the stairs but it never stops

I just remembered a conversation I had with my ex, YEARRRRS ago (obviously), about what we would name our children in the distant future.

He liked the name Summer.

His surname is Breese.

Our kid would have been Summer Knight-Breese, can you actually imagine anything more cringeworthy??

Living on the shore of Lake Ontario, just east of Toronto, photographer Matt Molloy has daily encounters with brilliant sunsets and cloudscapes that he’s been taking photographs of for over three years. One day he began experimenting with time-lapse sequences by taking hundreds of images as the sun set and the clouds moved through the sky. Molloy then digitally stacked the numerous photos to reveal shifts in color and shape reminiscent of painterly brush strokes that smeared the sky. You can learn more about his “timestack” technique over at Digital Photo Magazine and prints are available here.

Windsor Is Coming

Queen Elizabeth II paid a visit to the Game of Thrones set in Belfast, Ireland, on Tuesday. Look out, Westeros. Though she may already be sitting on the Throne of England, it looks like Queen Elizabeth II has her eyes on the Iron Throne too.

This is an enormous chain and I’m sorry, but I need to say this:

The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by god as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required to make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.

According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said “it is finished” when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don’t have to circumcise their sons (god’s covenant with Jacob), that is why they don’t have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.

When you quote Leviticus as god’s law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what god or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws. That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your god and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn’t good enough for you.

So maybe actually read the thing before you start quoting it, because the implications of your actions go a lot deeper than you think.

This is a theological point that doesn’t come up often enough.

Gender equality: It’s a two way street.

I remember seeing loads of beautiful Indonesian boys in sarongs and the suchlike and both me and E were like "wow, this really suits them".

In a lot of ways, skirts etc hang off masculine frames very well indeed!

Also, Amy… I feel like your mum and my stepdad-in-law (and possibly my mum-in-law) probably run in the same circles; ask her if she knows of a prolific sword maker/melodeon player called Frank Lee from Cumbria!

[dreamsofjade]

Hahaha... Just looked at the list of societies at ARU and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna join the LGBT+, vegan, tabletop gaming, live music and Pokemon (!!!) ones. Yes, that's right. My university has a Pokemon society.
