A Downtime Calendar

One way to bring a setting's calendar to life is through downtime. When you spend a month cooling your heels and recovering from the road, e

I was reminded of this post recently and I think it's a good one. Basically, it's a short, simple MOSAIC-strict system for making your in-world calendar and the passage of time meaningful: there's a list of effects you can get for taking downtime, listed by month you have to take off adventuring to get them.

For a small bonus to this comic check out my twitter! 

I said the next comic wouldn’t be feh but the fecompendium on twitter rolled out the Skill Activation challenge and I got the urge to make this so here we are. Definitely check them out on twitter, they make really cool challenges.

“Life can be generous, but leaves us with a trilemma: How can we reconcile three diverse features: ‘I’, 'me' and the 'others'. Since the “I” entails what I want; the “me” what others expect of me and the “others” what others themselves want. The bridges between "individuality", “surroundings” and "otherness" can be abysmal and very often waiting to be restored. (“I am on my own side, but I can listen “ )”   ~ Erik Pevernagie

C.S. Lewis famously proposed the “trilemma”: that Jesus Christ cannot be called “just a great moral teacher”:

A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic – on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg – or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit on Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God.

The same argument can, perhaps even should, be applied to the Catholic Church.

Specifically, the Catholic Church is either the Divinely Instituted Bride of Christ, or an utterly delusional Church, or something of satanic origin.

This is a really good and important article, and I strongly recommend it to both Protestants and Catholics.

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
