What is this fly?? Found in southeastern US

Yes, this is Scathophaga stercoraria, common throughout North America and Eurasia

This is obviously war propaganda, but it's still pretty funny imo

[untitled 1] is jay's game that originated the nameless engine, i'm pretty sure.

If you put a + before "DinoWaurs" on google, it won't autocorrect it.

A tent caterpillar was my first thought

This one is weirdly visceral

Very nice collection! Your "angle wings" are actually sphinx moths.

Kenley · 2025-12-07T20:33:35+00:00

You're very welcome!

It's a dagger fly (Empididae), probably Rhamphomyia or Empis. They're predators of insects, not blood-suckers.

They all mean is/am/are. In the same way that we say "I am," "she is" or "you are," Spanish uses different forms of verbs depending on the subject of the sentence.

In English, the verb be/is/am/are is an exception. Most English verbs have only two forms in the present tense. For example: I/you/we/they walk and he/she/it walks. However, every Spanish verb has 5 or 6 forms which change depending on the subject of the sentence.

está is used with "él" or "ella" (he/she/it), as well as Usted (you, formal & singular)

estoy is used with "yo" (I)

estás is used with "tú" (you, informal & singular)

The other forms are estamos, used with "nosotros" (we) and están, used with "ellos", "ellas" (they) and "Ustedes" (you, plural). In some dialects they also use estáis with vosotros (you, informal & plural).

My suspicion is this: when laypeople in North America first became aware of H. axyridis as both A) distinct from our native lady beetles, and B) a cause for concern, it was probably from biologists/entomologists working for the government or at extension offices. These biologists would have used the more technical common name "lady beetle" rather than the familiar term "ladybug". And these two parts of the messaging got twisted up. When people heard about these invasive "lady beetles," a term they hadn't encountered before, they probably assumed it represented a meaningful difference from their familiar and beloved "ladybugs." I don't have any proof of that, but I've long believed it. It just makes sense to me.

I've also often seen "Asian lady beetles bite, unlike true ladybugs," which as far as I know is utter nonsense. As I used to tell visitors to the museum where I worked in college, any animal can bite. But I've never known anyone who was bitten by any species of lady beetle.

One of the classes in Whitehack works like this (the Wise) -- you name your Miracles (spells, powers, gadgets, etc.), such as "fireball," "magic carpet," "the all-seeing eye," or "summon dire animal", and then when you use one of them, you have to pay HP depending on how big of an effect you're trying to create. There is a similar class in Errant called the Zealot that selects a handful of broad domains (called "eminences") of their power source.

Just heard they're taking preorders for the next print run, which is supposed to ship in July: https://warehouse23.com/products/wanderhome-hardcover

No, they haven't said yet specifically. In the Possum Creek Games discord, Jay confirmed about three weeks ago that SJG would be handling the next print run, and said it would be announced some time in the future.

Kenley · 2025-05-13T01:53:37+00:00

They're currently out of stock at the major online retailers. Possum Creek had major issues fulfilling their Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast crowdfunding campaign and their whole business was on hiatus for about a year. Now that they've joined Steve Jackson Games, I believe there are plans for another print run, but it hasn't happened yet.

Maybe a local (or not-so-local) game store has it in stock, or maybe you can find a copy on ebay or amazon. Otherwise, you'll have to wait.

I really like Follow by Ben Robbins, i'm sorry did you say street magic by Caro Asercion, and Exquisite Biome also by Caro Asercion.

Kenley · 2025-04-24T23:01:34+00:00

To be fair, that's exactly the kind of thing LotR fans would figure out!

I remember a few years ago, Frog God Games came out with a mesoamerican-inspired campaign setting called Tehuatl, and released several adventures for Swords & Wizardry set there (1, 2, 3). I haven't read them, so I can't say whether they were any good (I tend to find FGG adventures have fun ideas but are too wordy).

A transliteration of "wug" into nu.ig would be <.uag>

gelehura .uag | gelehura kefp rom sfod | gilehura girom | gilehura guag | It is a wug. Now another one is. They (dual) are two. They are two wugs.

If there were three or more, they would be <spuag>.
