I then set all the haiku in alphabetical order, like the MM itself...And though I like the idea, I found I didn't like the poem as much that way, I think just because the first poems in alphabetical order aren't the best ones. Probably the solution is just to cut a few of those, but I'm letting the whole thing sit for a while before I decide. I'll post the whole thing here when I'm ready.<br />
<br />
But right now I need to show you pictures of the <a href="https://www.vintag.es/2019/10/the-old-gentleman-of-raahe.html?fbclid=IwAR0c7LSK8_a9nGTvmPJewYa6Jg7hGxZEfz1AYOOepJgjcICPFuaCT37Zewo" target="_blank">Old Gentleman of Raahe</a>, an 18th century diving suit from Finland that's half leather Big Daddy from Bioshock and half Apparatus of Kwalish. <br />
<br />
(Has Lamentations of the Flame Princess gone underwater yet? I guess it's hard to do the gross-out part underwater because all the gore just floats and clouds the art, but they can think of something.)<br />

"<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">A further fascinating item in the Cathedral’s collection is not a document at all but a portable sundial. It has been dated roughly to the tenth century and was discovered in 1938 during alterations to the cloister garth. It consists of a silver tablet, inscribed with the names of the months and with holes through which a peg was inserted. If the tablet was dangled from a chain, facing the sun, the position of the peg’s shadow gave a rough idea of the time. Around its sides runs the inscription ‘[SA]LVS FACTORI [PA]X POSSESSOR[I]’: ‘Health to my maker, peace to my owner.’"<br /><br />Could easily be gamified with additional magical properties. Look at those snakes!<br /><br />From <a href="https://www.canterbury-cathedral.org/heritage/history/anglo-saxon-canterbury/?fbclid=IwAR13cmbQs4mBSkNNFneLQOlTPM65YqwPgozvucoZU5w3-mcjIRbS_67Omno" target="_blank">the Canterbury cathedral's Web site</a>.</span>Alec Semicognitohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06507482266305964982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827057808956224263.post-8365738938228375042018-10-12T07:29:00.002-07:002018-10-12T07:29:49.039-07:00Pata: sword-holding gauntlet/shieldThese things hold a separate sword blade and are held by the cross handle with the plate covering the fist and forearm. Seems like a good main-gauche platform for a short-ish blade --- improved parrying, decreased finesse with the blade, good capability to punch with the blade like a katar. <br /><br />In Arcanum I'd have it function as a small shield and a short sword in one, allowing characters with Two Weapons skill to choose between a parry and a second attack each round.<br /><br />The first one, with the human/demon face, was believed by its seller to be a reproduction.<br />
