Not sure if this goes here, but here is where I'm posting it.

Cool architecture photos? Check.

Making fun of hipsters? Oh, check please.

I personally think that at least half of the videos from http://www.everythingisterrible.com/ can be used as inspiration for a Monsters and Other Childish things.  For example:

This last Saturday, I needed to run a Monsters game off the cuff.  So, I decided to scan through the most recent EIT! videos, and ran across this.

<a href="" target="_blank" class="aeva_link bbc_link new_win"></a>


So, I quickly crafted a plot where this guy went to the player's school for a "Bubbles Against Drugs" performance.  However, he was actually a bubble cultist, and was trying to convert the entire school to also worship the almighty bubble with his eldrich arts of bubblemancy.  The players, being monster-bonded, were able to see through the illusion and had to find a way to break his spell and bring him down.

The best part about it was that I could use the video as both inspiration and a prop of sorts.  I imagine it'd be tougher to find videos that would work in other games, but most of it's perfect for a game of Monsters.

Like I said in my post, I don't know if it goes in this topic, but it's just too goddamn funny not to post.

"My apartment is infested with koala bears, it's the cutest infestation I've ever seen." <-- that's how funny it is.

Adolf Hitler wanted to steal the Turin Shroud during World War II, an Italian monk has claimed.

But the Vatican helped hide the cloth relic, on which is scorched the image of Christ's face, in a rural monastery to keep it out of the clutches of the Fuhrer.

-- Hitler wanted to steal the Turin Shroud - 'but was thwarted by the Vatican'



It's like a Dan Brown novel, but interesting.
GENERALA, my free dungeon-crawling RPG, is now available! And it's free!

The wiki article about the shrinking penis phenomenon cracked my shit up.
