Imagine how livid some faery prince would be if they found out you were using their sacred interdimensional grove as a shopping route

'Oh look, more prey has wandered into the hunting grounds. Fetch my horn, my spear and my hounds.'

... well, good luck. May you and your family avoid death and/or permanent organ damage.

Main concern is we brought my gran, who's well into her eighties, to stay with us on Sunday because she was unwell and we're not sure when we contracted the virus, and on top of that she's still here because we like to keep an eye on her for a few days before we let her go home after illness or accidents. So now there's a risk she's going to get it, though my father hasn't somehow, so there's some hope.

Personally assuming it was the funeral we went to last week, but there's not really any way to tell. Might even have caught it from my gran on Sunday.

EDIT: So my gran is indeed positive, but now we're thinking she's the one we've caught it from, though her symptoms were different, and the state she was in on Saturday/Sunday was just her at the worst point of her infection, so she's probably going to be fine. Or as fine as a woman in her state of general health can be.

It's not exactly something that takes away from the war effort. It's not like the politicians and civil servants involved were pulled away from the frontlines or were involved in coordinating military actions.

Really there's a large portion of Ukraine who can't do anything to help with the war other than just keep the ordinary course of life going, and strenghening ties with the EU is one of the things they've decided is part of that.

Presumably someone told him the optics of his previous statements weren't good.

Or maybe he''s legitimately changed his mind. Hard to tell with public figures.

I've never tasted mermaid it's just to expensive for me, and aliens never come around where I am.


But what about Bigfoot has anyone tasted one of them?

[Insert tasteless joke about Bigfoot pornos here]

Yes, they're a thing. Sadly.

The Blind vs Blind thing is what makes Devil's Sight Warlocks with Darkness a strong combo. Casting Darkness has basically no downsides in combat for anyone but ranged characters, and a DS warlock gets advantage to hit and disadvantage to be hit.

It's actually rather trivial to build a whole party that can fight while blind, and therefore use lots of blinding area spells. The Warlock has Devil's Sight, which lets them see through just Darkness, and Fighter's have Blind Fighting for 10 feet of Blindsight which lets them see through any vision obscuring effect. Both can be taken by basically anyone for the trivial price of a 2 level dip in Warlock, a 1 level dip in Fighter, or a feat. So by level 4 a party can all be able to benefit from the effects of magical darkness with no penalties, and some of them may also be able to fight unimpeded by fog clouds, sandstorms and other similar spells/effects.

I generally prefer the concept of a worker owned co-operative with people elected to fill higher level positions based on merit backed by a robust state welfare system, and a high quality education system.

Quite literally the workers owning the means of production. People tend to pick bosses that are good at being bosses when given the informed choice.

Or they pick bad bosses and the company collapses, which is fine because there can be more than one co-operative.


The USSR could in theory have been socialist, if they didn't become authoritarian. State run economies can be socialist provided that the state itself is actually somewhat directly democratic and low in corruption.

I imagine that Russia is either going to swing retro-USSR in the same way that lots of countries want to go back to 'the Good Old Days' when times are tough, which usually means going back some fifty years, but which never actually works, or it will go hard in the opposite direction and wind up as a dysfunctional Social Darwinist decentralised affair. The creation of a healthy state requires a lot of conditions that I'm not sure Russia has at this time, too much power concentrated in the hands of a corrupt establishment, too much propaganda, too much bigotry, too much crime.

I haven't seen one of those old table crushing pewter dreads in forever. I opted for converting loyalist ones back before helbrutes became a thing rather than deal with that much pewter.

Had a pewter hive tyrant when I first started and it genuinely turned me off of large pewter minis, they want to fall apart under the strain of their own weight constantly.


I've got a few minis I haven't gotten around to posting here, but here's one I finished today.

One of the new Chaos Knights, painted in the colours of House Korvax.

House Korvax is a group of knights from House Raven who got corrupted by Be'lakor, pledging themselves and their world to his service while leaving the bulk of their household, who were away at the time, as a house with no homebase on a crusade against their traitorous brethren. Their homeworld, now called Korvosi is the capital of Be'lakors own dark kingdom, and the gathering point for his daemons and chaos marines followers.
