Ok, this is cool: a team of biologists worked out that turtles can talk. The hatchlings even talk to each other in the egg to coordinate their hatching. Turtle talk is at frequencies not very audible for humans and it can take hours for some species to reply to each other.

“Had we had a bit more expansive imaginations, we might have caught this earlier,” said Karen Bakker, a fellow at Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.

Turns out the key to solving the mystery of why Roman cement lasts longer than modern cement... was to stop underestimating ancient people.

"...samples of Roman concrete contain small lumps known as lime clasts that are not found in modern structures.

While these have previously been explained as arising from poor mixing of the mortar or other errors, the team suspected there could be other reasons."

My today's entry is surprisingly irrelevant to the main project. It rather is a doodle I made while playing an game today.

It's called "rat people getting denied access through the gates of Gorfar".

Just today learned about Ken Block passing. It's unreal. Fuck unsafe vehicles, seriously.

A huge *huge* **huge** loss for everyone. Especially for his daughter, who is an amazingly skilled driver herself at a young age.

Devastating.

Why is this news? Does everyone not do this? I purposely set recurring meetings to end six months out as an implicit test of importance; you’d be amazed at how many people are happy to drop meetings but didn’t have a polite ‘out’.

Then again I’d consistently get in trouble at Twitter for not attending enough meetings and constantly revisiting how I handled recurring meetings.

In , which is an -style I'm working on, everyone and everything has a capability to take 6 stress (basically, 7 HP).

Some abilities are guaranteed to inflict stress, but cost stress.

This facilitates player skill so well, I'm telling you. Try it.

I'm planning to just "ship it" when it comes to . No typesetting, no overcomplicating, no proofreading. Just pure hand-crafted goodness, which should inform the content for the first adventures.

I'm also stretching the format quite a bit, but whatever.

South Kensington is not just about tea houses! In today's entry, we explore a park there.

By the way, I'm committed to provide alt texts for all my entries, so that visually impaired GMs can benefit from my work as well as sighted! ❤️

This is what you get when you support the wrong people.

Who did not know - the band Limp Bizkit has been actively supporting Russia in the war against Ukraine since 2014. #LimpBizkit often performed illegally in occupied Crimea, appearing at concerts with "Crimea is Russia" posters.

@jonn that is what I'm doing. I've made a couple posts for it. I'm calling it "Red Suns over Rubicon 4".

Related to the previous post: it's so cool that we can query and approximate weather of the past!

At least in major cities! theweatheroutlook.com/twoother

It's a slushy January afternoon. No wonder the car didn't arrive for you. Hailing a cab is out of question, not with your cargo and in your condition. So you rush across Kensington, your shoes squelching what's left of the white stuff...

Something you overhear as you walk past a Kensington tea house:

"Fancy some import tea? Better stockpile it! With the damned war and everything."

"Good thing we shall always have Sri Lanka, at least..."

From now on, I'll only post spoiler-free content. Some people are already eager to playtest my stuff. So I'm gonna make Kensington module over the course of the next couple of weeks. It probably means that some days I'll be posting rules, formatted as entries.

@jonn so I was told by folks in the stream who no more than I do that there are card-sized supplements for the game. Also, they’re going for a metaphorical meaning behind the index card, per the intro to the book (they do address it!).
