Swords, Maces, Flails, Oh My!
The weapons artwork from the D&D 3e-3.5e books were cooked into my brain as a child. Even if some weapons are incredibly inaccurate or implausible. Something about the artwork and the grid lines just really made it satisfying to look at.

An Etymological Dictionary of Matoric, Third Edition - Volume I COMPLETE (A-G)
On the world of Spherus Magna, many millennia have come and gone since the time known as BIONICLE. And in that time, the scholars of Spherus Magna have not been idle...
Under the auspices of the Annoxtus Academy of Science, a team of researchers, including linguists, historians, archaeologists, and agoripologists, has worked tirelessly to record, preserve, and analyze the ancient languages and linguistic varieties of the Mata System.
The Institute for Matoran Studies is proud to present the newest result of those labors: The full and complete Volume I of An Etymological Dictionary of Matoric, Third Edition, now covering the letters A through G, along with “Supplemental Entries” for H-Z.
An Etymological Dictionary of Matoric, Third Edition - Volume I: A-G [with Supplemental Entries H-Z] (PDF)
The previously published version of Volume I covered the letters A and B only, amounting to about 90 entries, with 36 root-word entries. In contrast, the Complete Volume I is substantially expanded, containing about 274 entries for the letters A-G, along with an additional ~407 Supplemental Entries, and ~169 root-word entries.
The Supplemental Entries contain words that are referenced in the etymologies of the primary entries for A-G, allowing the reader to cross-reference almost any word referenced in the dictionary. The Supplemental Entries also contain many words not referenced in the primary entries, but whose etymologies have been finalized by the IMS research group, providing a snapshot of the development of future dictionary volumes. This includes nearly all words and grammatical markers listed or referenced in other educational materials, making the Complete Volume I the most comprehensive reference document for the lexicon of the Matoran Language.

The Matoran Language (Matoric) is a constructed language (“conlang”) set within the universe and lore of BIONICLE (a LEGO property). It is the language of the biomechanical species called Matoran, and it is also used as a lingua franca amongst many of the biomechanical inhabitants of the artificially-constructed Matoran Universe.
If you would like to learn more about Matoric, further documentation can be found in this post: The Matoran Language [2021].
The Matoran Language Resources page of this blog also contains a wealth of additional content and archival material.

Physics explains how and why things work the way they do. Far from being dense or difficult, physics can be described by a set of simple laws; and just as the 26 letters of the alphabet can be combined in a myriad of ways to tell amazing stories, the laws of physics that govern the world and the universe around us produce powerful, beautiful, and even mind-blowing phenomena.
Think of waves at the beach, music in your ears, the colors of the rainbow, or nuclear fusion in the Sun; all of these and so much more arise from physics.

And we’re back! Hope y'all had an excellent holiday season. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we sort of tackle the third edition of D&D. Not so much the system (though we hit the broad strokes), but the idea of it, where it came from, where it went, what it inspired. It’s sort of a ruminating ramble that seems even more relevant now with the recent kerfuffle over the OGL (though we recorded before that bomb dropped, believe it or not).
