Mine was attending confirmation classes. Learning what’s actually in the bible is often enough.

For all of the people that had trouble finding me at ECCC, or were surprised there were artists downstairs or in the Arch building let ReepPop know.

If ECCC sends out a survey to the con goers, fill it out

Don’t ignore the survey!

The boys just watched The Holy Grail, and I feel like they've leveled up.

My wife and I were just talking about this. When we moved a few years back we sold all of our books, DVDs, and CDs and were still sad about it.

A chart of the Ecosystem in Undead Paradise. It explains the relationship between Vermin, Terraformers, Predators, and Titans. Vermin are Creatures which are designed to swarm and desolate an area. These are among the first to spread the seeds of mutation in a new space.
Excavating the old ruined world,  Vermin drop seeds of corruption, and herald the Terraformers to build.

Terraformers: Creatures who are designed to terraform the world to accommodate the spreading mutation. 
Once a Terraformer has converted enough space for mutation, it begins to construct nests from which Predators can spawn.

Predators are designed to eliminate any perceived threat against their territory.
Once a creature is slaughtered, a Predator will cover the corpse with mutated cells, allowing the growth of more infection to new areas.

And Titans are Legendary creatures that generate mutation and
act as prime authority within a territory.
These huge monstrosities were born via mass-casualty events; 
these tragedies bore perfect nutrient material for the mutated
cells to grow and cultivate into a threatening colossus.

I've been playtesting and designing my game: Undead Paradise.

In Undead Paradise, following humanity’s extinction, the mutation spread across the landscape. Evolution was twisted bringing all sorts of new creatures into existence.

Next time you're scrolling TikTok/Instagram/YouTube and see a title like β€œIt’s so much worse than I thought,” ask yourself something honestly β€” Would you have clicked if the title was β€œIt’s so much better than I thought”?

And, if not, maybe have a think about that.

This should be everyone’s modus operandi, regardless of subject.

I’d add some kind of effect where the potion become volatile. Just for fun 😬

I can’t say I’d argue with that.

Interesting. Any particular reason or just coincidence?

One of the funny things about life in the Netherlands is it's common for kids to swear. Just heard an 8-year-old drop an f-bomb with the defness of an english sailor.
