Gaming in Ryder's basement in high school. Ryder goes into the bathroom. Moments later, he emerges, looking down the front of his pants. "Hey! I found it! It's really small but it's still there!"
Us: "Uh, Excuse me-- WHAT??"
Ryder, annoyed: "My appendix scar. I meant my appendix scar."
I wonder how big is Elvis Costello's collection of pork pie hats. Like, does he have a big collection or a curated selection that he cycles through?
Indeed, the formula wasn't nailed down until James Bond 3: Goldfinger.
Have you read the Ian Fleming books?
It arrived! It's still so unreal for me.
8/8 Somar Beta the Vulkin Cyaborg Warlock returned to God City and volunteered to lead a mission into deep space on a repaired starship to find out what happened to the broken galactic navigation grid.
7/8 The Frankenstein Warrior/Wreslter known as the Mortician took the Soul Sword Obsidian and began a slow descent into becoming an Elric.
6/8 Elanatron Omega the Robodroid Warrior went to the Empire of Darth Viraxis, hoping to overthrow him and declare herself empress.
5/8 Quildor the Elven Pioneer returned to the Elven forests.
4/8 Everyone got an epilogue:
Kang the Wookee became a Horse Tamer and married the princess.
3/8 A Warlock Bomb, Klengon Grenade, and another maximized Warlock Bomb (spend an Omen to do maximum damage = 60 points!) was sufficient to defeat Toe-Te-Cho, but at the cost of brave and noble Sir Chicken, the Captain of the Guard, and the newly acquired Squelchwagon damnation van!
2/8 When that happened, the Grand Vizier of the Horse Tamers transformed and revealed himself to be immortal albino warrior Toe-Te-Cho, wielding the magic Soul-Sword Obsidian.
1/8 We wrapped up our year-long Challengers of Vanth campaign today with the Squelchers using diplomacy to form a coalition of allies to confront the captain of the guard of the Horse Tamers to hand over the victory medallion and let the Princess of the Horse Tamers win the Crucible.
Prepping for Vanessa Hudgenses Save Groundhog Day RPG party on Saturday
This is the fifth game in a semi annual campaign of Vanessa Hudgenses Save Christmas.
They have saved Christmas twice, St Patrick’s Day, and Thanksgiving!
I tried to go for a blend between Ark 2, Land Master, and shuttle from Jason of Star Command.
I couldn’t find a mini or toy I liked for my Challengers of Vanth party’s Damnation Van so I designed my own STL and had one of my players 3d print it. I just finished painting it.
Behold the Squelchers of Vanth and their Squelchwagon!
Nora Jones, (no relation) an owner of an antique store who is good at reading books out loud with voices.
Juniper Maria-George, Wealthy Scottish philanthropist who is good at baking but always loses her luggage.
Josie Mabelle, Texan real estate socialite who suffers fainting spells
Jenna Granger, Florist who speaks like a gangster, always online
Aubrey Stewart, Princess of crime, cockney accent. Sees ghosts.
Every so often, I run a game of "Vanessa Hudgenses Save [INSERT HOLIDAY HERE]" for some friends.
So far, we've done Christmas, Christmas, St. Patrick's Day, and Thanksgiving.
Coming soon: Vanessa Hudgenses Save Ground Hog Day!
My players finally bought a Damnation Van. I couldn’t find a toy or mini I liked so I designed my own STL and one of the players printed it up. I pinned and glued the top to the bottom. Once it dries I’ll paint it. #EncounterCritical #ChallengersofVanth

A colorful, humorous chart titled “Hallmark Christmas Movie Plot Generator with ANIME MECHA!” mimics the format of a story prompt generator. It features seven vertical columns, each offering quirky options to build a fictional plot. The columns include character background (e.g., “Big city,” “World weary”), character role (e.g., “Mecha Pilot,” “Street Urchin”), setting (e.g., “Small Town,” “Orbital Space Colony”), initial motivation (e.g., “to save the family business”), romantic development (e.g., “with a sensitive mecha pilot”), sudden conflict (e.g., “aliens invade”), and resolution (“so she must pilot her mecha to save the guy!”). The chart blends Hallmark holiday tropes with anime mecha chaos in a playful, genre-mashing style.
Revised Hallmark Christmas Movie Plot Generator with ANIME MECHA
In retrospect, replace "high school student" with "engineering professor" to make it more Hallmarky and less skeevy.

I have adapted the Hallmark Christmas Movie Plot Generator to our purposes.
