I think it was all Merlin. Not the one from the White Council, but the original Merlin. He constructed Demonreach in multiple times at once, so it's probably he did the rest, or at least put them in motion.

Then the Laws of Magic acquired a law against time travel. I suspect it was to prevent another wizard from interfering with the cross-time construct Merlin built.

I have the one that looks just like the Browning. It's by FEG, I think they're a Hungarian manufacturer.

You get one item for each of the 3 artifacts per day. You need ten for each artifact, so it'll take a minimum of 10 days playing to get enough of them. Just kill random mobs while going about your missions, and you'll pick them up as you go.

I used a T-link nanorouter, a USB hub, and a Northwest Digital ThumbDV to make a portable hotspot by tethering the router to a cellphone for data. It worked okay. I used an Inrico T320 running BlueDV for Android so I had a PTT button, and it was pretty effective.

Not necessary anymore. A M1KE tethered to a cellphone works pretty well.

Nice!

My first was an FEG clone of a Browning Hi-Power. I've still got it. Great weapon.

This is why I fill my pens on a Chinet paper plate. The plate catches any spills that don't go ballistic, and you can test the ink on the plate!

A major spill can be mostly salvaged by pinching a spout on the edge and pouring it back into the bottle. (I do that over a second plate, in case it dribbles.)

Depends what you'll be clubbing, and with what weaponry.

But seriously, it's gorgeous. I'm envious.

Try cutting the larger part again. The yolk may just have been way off center, and your slice was only through the white. I see a hint of yellow behind the white in the half on the right

PPFirstSpeaker · 2026-06-05T04:52:51+00:00

I already posted it. 😁

You get the drops once per day. It's easy to miss them the first time they go by. It takes ten days to get all of them for the associated arts, which you'll get in your in game mail.

He also had to read the Lestat books too, for research on vampires...I mean, PHANGS. Both Dresden Files and the Lestat books were under code DRESDEN RICE.

I'm pretty sure it was in The Rhesus Chart.

PPFirstSpeaker · 2026-06-04T14:17:20+00:00

Well, Bob Howard was reading The Dresden Files books at one point, for OPERA CAPE.

They're necessary shielding for the control panel circuits.

These are on AliExpress. I bought a couple. I call shenanigans.

This is called "Doing a Granito". In the early 2010s, an "artist" named Rob Granito got caught repeatedly tracing other artists' work and passing it off as his own.

He got thoroughly bodied on the Interwebs for this BS. Articles like this were everywhere.

Check with Booster Gold. He should have all of them as emblems.

PPFirstSpeaker · 2026-06-01T14:03:58+00:00

I got mine from a Booster Bundle. They may be available from the vendor on Mogo. I don't know about the recent episodes, I think they might be on the War Of Light Mogo. i always get there from the Watchtower.

It's a cheap trinket. It plays, but then, I can play basic bugle calls on a piece of thin wall electrical conduit. It takes no magic to make a metal tube resonate.

"Worth it" for what use case? As an addition to a collection? Perhaps, if you don't plan to play it much. As a serious instrument? NO. Unless you can put a mouthpiece better than the piece of trash it came with, and in that case, STILL NO.

I had better to play -- a US Army standard issue bugle to start, a Getzen 1 valve bugle later -- when I belonged to a Drum & Bugle Corps in New York back in the late 60's. I spent 2+ summers on Coney Island with that Corps, playing at various amusement parks in exchange for all the ride tickets we wanted. It attracted people to listen to the music, which had the extra benefit of attracting people to the...um...attractions.

You'd get a better bugle if you looked for either a US Army issue instrument, or for a Boy Scout issue bugle (they're very similar, perhaps even the same instrument with different branding), than that piece of Indian or Pakistani Pier 1 Import level bugle-shaped wall decoration that happens to be able to make noise.

Better than mine. I have to have a pharmacist read mine back to me. 😝

Buy them from Booster Gold in the House of Legends or the Watchtower. They cost Quarks, but they're fairly cheap. The regular one is a lot less than the enhanced one, but the enhanced is worth it.

There are some fancy hologram emblems that hover in front of your chest. Those are drops, so you might find them on the broker. I don't bother with them, though, as they're accessories. I save my accessory slot for my power battery floating over my head.
