  • Tried Minecraft multiple times. Can’t stand the game. Weird part is that I absolutely love both Terraria and Vintage Story.

    I found a huge surface vein of olivine in a peridotite cliff face earlier while searching for bauxite, only to realize that I was about 50 blocks to the east of the Resonance Archives entrance, which my world put in a damn near inaccessible valley between K2 and Everest.

    If I can find some bauxite I have a ton of iron to make some steel and between that and my huge harvest of flax and honey, I will have honey sulfur poltices, and the eidolon should be a cakewalk.












  • At least in D&D the good and evil dragons do have a use for it.

    The evil dragons eat it just before they die. If they don’t show up with enough gold in hell, then Tiamat/Takhisis eats their souls.

    The good dragons use it to fund various parts of their chosen civilization/ city/ town. So a gold dragon may create a perpetual trust to fund the defence force of a kingdom, or a silver dragon may fund a museum or theater.

    I haven’t come across any material that says what the neutral dragons use it for, other than a bed. Apparently when you’re that big, gold is quite soft and comfy.





  • Not exactly. There’s a break in the chain of ownership, when it came to the new world in the late 1700s. We’re not entirely certain how my great great great grandfather came into possession of it, but we believe that he either won it in a game of poker, or he possibly stole it during the commotion of the last quarter century of the 1700s.

    Thanks for the info on Magini. I just knew he made my violin, or more likely one of his apprentices. And that he and another dude in Florence are were simultaneously credited for inventing the thing independently of each other.

    Edit: there’s a fuckton more info on the guy than I could find back in 1993 when I looked into him


  • Not particularly. The wood sat in the harbor nearest to Brefchia to age for two years before Magini ever even touched it. It’s pretty sturdy all things considered. The violin held up better than the original bow and wooden case. We fumigated all of them because they had become infected with bow mites. The original case and bow are in the attic, mostly she currently lives in a crushed velvet lined climate controlled case. Not playing her would do more damage than breaking her out and keeping her in tune.
