5 Things on a Friday: Woefully Wishful Thinking

Happy Friday, folks.  Let’s get it on!

RPG News & Other Notes

I don't usually do RPG-type news, but a few things caught my eye this morning:

5E Adventure Review: The Fall of Cahokiantep (Merric's Musings)
The adventure is presented as an 11-page pdf, and consists of seven “scenes”, some of which might potentially have several encounters. It’s a wild, fantastic adventure, which should appeal to those wanting more than “just another dungeon” to explore. I mean, how many adventures are there where you get to fight an astral dragon turtle?

I love the imagination of it all...

If you missed it, I put out "The Fall of Cahokiantep" on Tuesday.  For what it's worth, I always try to do my D&D-type content on Tuesdays.  As of this writing, over 400 people have read "Fall of Cahokiantep," making it one of the most successful posts I've put out.  Readership is way up in general, though, and I've been especially gratified to note that more roleplaying folks seem to be coming by for other posts, like "5 Things on a Friday."   Thanks for that!

As an aside, I badly need a cover image for "Cahokiantep".

Saturday News & Notes: 49 Days to Football

Army's season kicks off the Friday before Memorial Day Weekend.

I don't know what the rest of football nation is doing, but it ought to be fun to see how Coach Monken's squad starts coming together after a full year in the system.  Here's hoping!

50 days until kickoff! #ArmyWestPoint #WestPoint #USMA #USArmy

Bastille Day!

Stage 10: L'ouch!

I don't know how much the General Classification is going to change today, but there's a pretty big battle brewing for the Maillot à Pois.  

I'm expecting to see Joaquim Rodriguez finish with the polka dots today, but we may also see somebody like Tommy Voekler attack.  With it being Bastille Day, we're guaranteed to see a bunch of French riders go right from the start.  Should be pretty entertaining.
