CheshireCake: What do you mean, a good morning moonbase? Do you wish the moonbase a good morning, or mean that the morning is good whether the moonbase wishes it or not, or that the moonbase feels good this morning, or that it is a morning to be good at the moonbase on?
 TXC2: the rare P+K combo

Dragoonspirits86: this is all wayne renolads art isnt it? like PF art?
 lamina5432: ^
goatprince: blame the alchemists
 PsychoI3oy: a pokemon?
Genie_M: Ancient Greek legend
 TXC2: looks like walrus with claws
 QuixoticScrivener: the dog from ghost busters 1
Dragoonspirits86: no clue on this one
 KharadBanar: Isn't that one of Aristotle's many "observations"? See a salamander, ask yourself why it's got yellow spots all over, conclude that it has to do with fire
Hoplon42: does look a bit like the dogs from ghostbusters
 Diabore: its dretched
Voidhawk42: Tiny demon
Dragoonspirits86: dretch? as in basic EL 1 demon?

 Boredering: Aboleth
Genie_M: Not tarrasque
 A_Dub888: @TXC2 Continuous. Enthusiastic. CONSENT! (on fire)
 TXC2: it's the first one in the book
Voidhawk42: One of the most dangerous pyschic horrors
 TXC2: A_Dub888  exactly
Dragoonspirits86: what were the aboleth slave race again...Skum?
goatprince: we got ghastly
 Mangledpixel: now that you can see us again, you may wish to know that the real world salamander is named after an ancient greek mythical creature
Hoplon42: flame skulls are bastards in game. specially at low levels
 TXC2: a flame skeleton ?
 Boredering: In pathfinder lore aboleths summoned a giant meteor
 Boredering: From outer space
Cutriss: Flame teeth?
Cutriss: Flame pelvis?
 GreatSacrificer: An ice skeleton, because they need to equalize the temperature when they rejoin.
 Singenmeister: One of my fav LRR highlights is when Graham was playing a stoner necromancer figuring out how to get two minions from one corpse.
 TXC2: given how messed up evolution is, an owlbear is not that crazy
 Mangledpixel: literally the only bit of backstory in the original White Box version of DnD is you go exploring a "huge ruined pile, a vast castle built by generations of mad wizards and insane geniuses"
Voidhawk42: Anti-Theist
Dragoonspirits86: he is THE example of moder HARD magic systems
Genie_M: "person who stands in copper armor on the top of the hill during a storm and shouts 'all gods are bastards '"
Dragoonspirits86: sandersons grteat
 lamina5432: a very soft magic
Hoplon42: Sanderson made up a cool phrase and built everything to justify it.
 TheMerricat: Tolkien, It works because God Said So. Sit down and Shut Up. Wizards are speaking. 
 TXC2: God sang a song and made it so
 Redbassist: Tolkien was writing more for his kids and because I say it is, does fit the logic
 Mangledpixel: Tolkien talks about how fans would keep pestering him with questions about the world, that would then prompt him to continue to flesh stuff out
 Mangledpixel: hence why there are a bunch of bits of middle earth lore that are just scattered, non-narrative notes
 TXC2: Mangledpixel  so the Simillerion is everyone's fault? 
 lirazel64: Also, Tolkien really didn't approve of using magic to.re
 lirazel64: To bully peole.
 Boredering: One of the intersting lore tidbits about pathfinder is that there are actual slavic people from earth that were brought by Baba Yaga to the setting of pathfinder
Genie_M: Lots of isekai anime have fantasy worlds where character sheets are a visible and known thing
 Mangledpixel: TXC2 that's more Chris Tolkien's fault 
 TXC2: Mangledpixel  true

 LordZarano: https://wiki.loadingreadyrun.com/index.php/Cruise_Vacation
 TXC2: one of the first LRR Sketches I watched
 Kentosaurus: can you bring 19 friends?

 Redbassist: Net flicks taking too big for stream
 protojman: >exasperated stare while waiting for generated response from a tree
 TXC2: we don't the spokesman's name, he just "works" for Dave
 LordZarano: https://wiki.loadingreadyrun.com/index.php/Krogslist
 Redbassist: Love the tumbl, hit post joke

Hoplon42: I have the TMNT book from the 80s
 Sethalidos: Kevin Simbietta has a... reputation in the industry
Drum0_0: oh, rifts, system sucks, but it’s fun.
Hoplon42: so meny tables
Genie_M: They are all compatible which is fun
 TheMerricat: Chat if you're getting the hankering for Rifts or Palladium, Bundle of Holding tends to have bundles of those games' source books once a year.
 LostThePirate: I just remember making a Rifts character that was pretty antithetical to the campaign my buddy was trying to run, lol
 LordZarano: Oh no Kathleen has become fish and is trying to clear her gills!
 Redbassist: Don't die Kathleen
