I designed this encounter as a deadly monster hunt. Inspiration: the illustration in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes (p. 211-212) reminds me of the chryssalid from XCOM, so I used their scary high mobility as a pillar of inspiration other than the classic "insects proctecting their eggs".

The PCs find an exposed cluster of eggs with a handful of Kruthik Youngs around it. If the express interest in what they know or could deduce about these creatures, proficient PCs can make skill checks to find out:

• The Hive IS the eggs! Kill one and they both die (arcana dc 18). The hive deposits power in eggs and will do almost everything to protect them (dc 15). Kruthiks are known for swarming up from the

Hello reddit !
I'm trying to piece together a gaming pc that will hopefully follow me in the years to come. I'm used to a laptop, but need the power of a desktop, so I decided to look into mini-ATX and found the BitFenix Prodigy.
I'm currently playing tf2 (barely with the lag) as my main game, but I want to be able to play new games in the future too. I won't be editing or anything similarly heavy on the computer.
Anyway, after looking through sidebar links etc. I've come up with this, even though some prices are a little different (I live in Denmark) and I found a eVGA gfx 760 2gb card instead.

Total: 700 EUR

Hello
I've had great fun and decent success with switching to boar brush+soap+de. I've been able to consistently get close shaves without too many nicks after about 4 months of shaving now.
However there is one area of my face which I have yet to get a close shave on. That is the area at each side of my mouth, sort of the lower end of the moustache area in each side. I've been trying to "tighten up"/pull the skin downwards so that it won't wrinkle up, but I just can't get that last bit of hair.
I am quite sure the hair is facing downwards like the rest of my facial hair and even WTG+XTG+ATG doesn't catch it.

How do you go about shaving that particular area? Are there perhaps any

Time for another Great Leap Forward for Machinemornings !

It seems I have forgotten myself. I seem to have been in this room for so long I barely remember any people. I must've been in here a long time, I barely remember the years going by. I better take a tour of the fortress so that I won't be ruling it via the old blueprints.

... Looking through the orders for the military, it's no wonder we lost them all last week. They wear only breastplates, greaves, shields and warhammers.. Anyway, it's recruitment time.
And it's SCIENCE time as well. We could agree

A lot has happened since the last time I was in charge of a fort.
I had my hair cut. It grew out again.
I learned how to kill. I forgot how to kill again.

I can still count, though.

I arrived here 3rd of Malachite almost two years ago.
The leader-at-that-time, GhostofGod called me "an essentially useless peasant" - Me, the second-highest skilled in the fortress with a total of 98 skill levels!
I'm not one to hold a grudge, though. We're all in this together. I hope the others realize that.

I've decided to take on a new hobby. We all know I love rabbits for their ability to burrow. We have none, though, (a shame, really - can you imagine a better role model

I just arrived at this thriving, neat fortress. For some reason, though, the therapist has arrived yet, so I'll have to take over his duties myself.
The place isn't without a few flaws, though. The pit is sealed off by doors only. Probably on request of the masons, we'll let them be, but Armok eat me if that won't cause trouble in the future. The courtyard was also completely open wide! I've decided to seal it off immideately, with a roof if possible.
And the lever to the main gate (the bridges over the pit) is also just 2 tiles away! I'll move that.
Giant black magpies outside. The whole bird-creature thing isn't false

As you may know, I like to count. I do it for a living. Luckily for me, someone else has done their job well enough.
Anyway, I'm here to personally get some answers from this place. The reports sent home has been lacking, to say it mildly. Not in detail or gore, but certainly in explanations.

'HALT!' I tell the world when I arrive. It stops to a pause so I can inspect

The whole thing has gotten too long with all the links. So I'm splitting up to one top-level-comment pr. fortress. This has also made the history of each fort much more clear..

Following this suggestion and the fact that I often check /r/succession/new, I have decided to collect, index and take notes to the stories told by our great leaders and storytellers.
