what would you do if you saw him in real life? like to slap his bald head. reblog to slap his bald head.
Why's he look so much like Ben Kingsley
Reblog this post and tell me what was/is the level, race/subrace, and class/subclass of your highest leveled D&D character?

Unasked for opinion on D&D (5e) Schools of Magic:
So I’ve been reading a bit about how necromancy is the ‘obviously evil’ school of magic. And, to be fair, traditionally it is, and it does have more than its fair share of nasty spells. It is distinctly unnatural, several deities explicitly have it on their shit lists, most stereotypical ‘evil wizards’ at least dabble in it. That said. It’s also a staple of most clerics, and there are even a couple of self-sacrificial spells in there, even if they still have that unnatural twist.
Reading through spell lists, the school that strikes me as the most baseline immoral, if not outright evil, is actually enchantment. It’s basically ‘Mindfuckery: The School’. There’s a couple of buffs in there, sure, things like Bless or Heroism, but for 95% of the school’s output, you’re looking at morally dubious at best. Enchantment is a lovely word, makes you think of wonders, but basically you’re casting various flavours of mindfuckery at people. Specific flavours range from ‘glued to the shiny thing’, to ‘lightly roofied’, to ‘bound for a year’, to ‘enthralled slave’, to ‘lobotomised idiot’. There’s also ‘fairytale dancing curse’, ‘laughing yourself into paralysis’, and ‘MiB flashy thinged’. It’s just … It’s the school for fucking with people’s heads, from lightly distracting them all the way up into completely stripping them of free will and/or just straight up lobotomising them. Wow.
Spell for spell, I’m pretty sure enchantment has necromancy soundly beat in the morally dubious-to-indefensible stakes. About the only thing necromancy has over it is that it gives your tormentor options even after you die, so it’s harder to escape. Necromancy is the most unnatural school of magic. I really don’t think it quite takes the prize as the most evil.
Like, all the schools have their ridiculously nasty spells. All of them have their creatively horrifying uses of mundane spells too. But enchantment is the one school that seems to just … have a couple of token buffs, and the rest is just straight fucking with people all the way.
(I will grant that illusion is also not too far behind it in there, mind you)
If you want a really nasty villain, enchantment, with maybe a few illusion, divination, and one or two necromancy spells, really looks like the way to go. That’s all I’m saying.
Enchanters make excellent villains for political intrigue style games too. They literally have the power to manipulate people against their will. An enchanter sorcerer with subtle spell would be especially devious. Imagine a party having all of their allies turn on them, one by one while the enchanter pulls the strings behind the scenes. Definitely using this in my next game!

THE TRAINS HAVE CARTOON TAMAS ON THEM
Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]
For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.
Beautiful.
Now I’m crying thanks
and a new cat was hired right?
yep! her name is Nitama (essentially ”second tama” or “tama II”) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy
she works very hard
Everytime this crosses my dash, I reblog. It is the law.
I’m crying at 11pm over train cats
Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016). There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.
^Nitama majestic, and below with Yontama
Yontama.
a legacy
okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because it’s a pun on santama) was that she was basically sent to train for the position in okayama and they liked her so much they refused to send her back
“Sun-tama-tama” (a pun off of “Santama”, lit. “third Tama”) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tama’s successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, “I will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.” [25]
As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tama’s Twitter account.
Every time I see this post there’s new info and it gets better
You are only allowed to scroll pass this after you pay tribute to the great Tama Station masters.

Nitama presenting her yearly offerings to Tama Daimyōjin on the anniversary of Tama’s Death, June 23 (The offerings are presented by the company president, as Nitama is a cat and thus can’t hold the offerings herself) (Not pictured, but also present, Yontama)
you cannot pass without reblogging guys. i’m sorry, i don’t make the rules.
Fun fact in case you don’t know:
Much of the Midwest USA (which is landlocked, with no major natural bodies of water except our rivers) is UNDERWATER and most of the food grown in the US won’t be grown this year. High water rescues are being performed in what is supposed to be prairie. Flooding shows no sign of stopping and is going to break the all time flooding record. Levees are topped and failing, retention pools are full, and on top of that, MAJOR tornadoes (over 750 so far, on 4 occasions reaching EF4 status) have been happening. Over 400 streets are closed in Missouri alone, and most of a major interstate (i29) is closed in Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska?
Above: Nebraska, where 90% of corn and soy is grown in the US. Left is normal, right is this past march.
Most farmers in these areas don’t have flood insurance because they’re not in flood planes and normally would never need it. So they are at a major loss.
The US grows about 70% of the entire country’s staple crops, and half of Canada’s, too. The US is Canada’s main place of import because there is more viable planting space in the US than Canada. $1.4 billion of exports are sent to Australia every year as well, mostly pork, milk, and fruits that can’t grow in Asia (Australia’s main supplier).
There will not be corn, soy, dry beans, canned beans, beef, chicken, or wheat grown. Beef will go up at least 2$ a lb and corn and soy will be extremely pricey and hard to find because it will have to be imported.
Lots of farmers haven’t even been able to plant their fields and cannot plant at all, most commonly as a result of too much moisture in the soil—though driving through my part of Illinois, I can tell you that many fields are more puddle/lake than actual field.
Most of this area with lots of rain has already hit their “final planting date,” when crop insurance no longer guarantees the full payout as crops planted after that date stand a significantly higher risk of not making it to harvest. As a result, many farmers are looking at having to take prevented planting payments, which are generally 50-60% of their normal revenue. Additionally, taking these payments prevents those farmers from being able to replant their crop. While some haven’t paid for inputs (fuel, seed, fertilizer), many already have, and it will be extremely difficult to cover these losses with such a low payment.
It’s going to be a massive hit to small and medium-sized farms, which constitute over 90% of farms in the United States.
Livestock is also dying at an alarming rate - one person I know has recently lost 200 cattle because of flooding.
More levees have breeched in this and the flooding is worse than Katrina. More rain is still coming. Fields that should be planted right now are sitting under feet of standing water, which is also a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects.
Right now, we are leaning on a back supply of food, but this can only last for so long.
If you live somewhere that is affected by this, and you very well might, even if you don’t know it, STOCK UP ON FOOD. Corn, soy, wheat, beef, and dry beans are the biggest things that will be affected. Chicken might be good to stock up on too. Prices will skyrocket when back supply begins to run low. This is a very real thing. Nuts, potatoes, and pea-based proteins shouldn’t be affected.

This isn’t a spring post. This is full summer. God help us.
Illinois is like 45% planted. It’s astounding and scary.
Missouri is under so much water. Places that have never flooded before are being evacuated. No one is really prepared for this.
As a member of the air national guard who works right by the Missouri River, I've never seen it this full. The levee that protects the low laying town near my base is breaking, and we're trying to fix that and a bunch of other levees that have broken around the state. Please take this seriously, it's serious. And sandbagging sucks.
