@riseupcomus I like it.
Ars Magica had a system where you could have say ... an army of porcelain dolls that creep out and do your bidding each night. The catch is: You have to BELIEVE in them. Name each one. Brush their hair. Talk to them. Settle their squabbles.

You have to go mad.

@riseupcomus Perhaps elves do not think things that don't grow aren't really part of the active world: stones, air, and water lack "vitae". They therefore are only base materials, that plants, animals, or fire use.

[Stephen @5tephe]

@riseupcomus Oooh, nice world build.

@ATRightMovies Gotta be Brazil, for sheer unalloyed Gilliam madness.

As we all await the outcome of what feels like a make-or-break election, I want to offer some perspective, if you’ll hand a fellow with eight-plus decades the mic for a moment.

[Stephen @5tephe]

@IAmPersonOne @DKagemann Only correct response to that room.

[Stephen @5tephe]

@riseupcomus @HelicityBoson Those books are indispensable. Love them all. Had a GREAT visual dictionary from that company, which was in all honesty the equal-most consulted reference book I used, for a long time.

The other was, of course, Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase & Fable.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

@riseupcomus I'm trying to build out a proper Inverted Castle module, with 4 main sections, a Meat grinder for each, and hopefully a connecting theme between them. All based on some Donjon generated maps I pulled then stitched together.

[Stephen @5tephe]

@riseupcomus Thief was the best computer game ever released. And those maps were perfect.

Where is this blog, that I might imbibe it?

[Stephen @5tephe]

@riseupcomus Glad you like it Josh! I know that at my table I'll only have the 1 copy of the book, and know that will slow down character generation, as we'll all be doing it at once.

Having a few copies of this little 16 page (8p, dbl sided) pamphlet lying around should break that dam.

New step-by-step character generation guide for HIS MAJESTY THE WORM by Stephen Brewer (@/5tephe on Twitter) is up on the Wormsite!

@ATRightMovies Terminator. The original. Every day of the week.

[Stephen @5tephe]

@riseupcomus has posted this step-by-step visual Adventurer Creation Guide booklet that I developed on the #HisMajestytheWorm website, that you can download for free: https://t.co/FGmwafNt3A

If you've only got 1 book, this will make CharGen easy for the whole table!
