"From the Red and Black Chromatic Book of Horrors & Heroes,” by Ben-Derek Hayes (Age 12)" Casus is a Baetyl Warhammer of unknown provenance. It you loudly and honestly state why you wish to kill a creature, each attach from it has a 50/50 chance of bypassing any defenses the target has beyond AC.

"From the Red and Black Chromatic Book of Horrors & Heroes,” by Ben-Derek Hayes (Age 12)" Deathmaiden is a Gaub-Algen Wyvernspear. If used in two hands, you can set a shield next to it, and the shield floats to protect you against creatures you attack. If you die, it keeps you fighting for 1 round.

"From the Red and Black Chromatic Book of Horrors & Heroes,” by Ben-Derek Hayes (Age 12)" FrostFyre is a Dusk Empire Wyvernspear that can do fire or ice damage. But when it does fiery damage it looks, smells and feels icy, and vice-versa. Only true seeing or being hurt by it reveals the illusion.

"From the Brown Chromatic Book of Horrors & Heroes,” by Ben-Derek Hayes (Age 12)" A tomb-bone is what happens if you are a big dummy and make a mimic undead. It can only look like broken, decrepit, or rotting objects. When touched, it explodes into a cloud of vampiric gooey organs and attacks.

"From the Brown Chromatic Book of Horrors & Heroes,” by Ben-Derek Hayes (Age 12)" A sloughage is an undead made from all the organs removed during mummification. If they mix with certain scarabs, they become angry rotting gutslimes, seeing to possess bodies by entering a torso wound or orifice.

"From the Brown Chromatic Book of Horrors & Heroes,” by Ben-Derek Hayes (Age 12)" Eye Bug: A big round beetle that painlessly eats one of your eyes when you sleep. So you don’t dig it out, it looks cool and gives you better vision so you can see ghosts and invisible hobbits and traps and stuff.

Tracking the increments here. Hegseth said he fired the head of the Join Chiefs because he was Black. He said because he's Black, they don't know if he really "earned" the position via skill, so they had to replace him. The Secretary of Defense admitted to firing someone because they're Black.

"From the Brown Chromatic Book of Horrors & Heroes,” by Ben-Derek Hayes (Age 12)" Hangman’s Kite: If a kite gets stuck in a hangman’s tree, it absorbs the mean from the dead people hung there. Its string becomes a noose, and it looks for people to choke and pull up into the sky by their neck.

Over the years, a lot of colleagues, and mentors suggested I should get into video game creation. Money wise, they are likely right. But I could not survive having my soul crushed this often. It's bad enough to have gone through it twice. This is one reason I just won't move for a job anymore.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

I'm in remission for cancer. During treatment, my oncologist wanted me to get liquid chemo. That meant getting an infusion port. My health insurance approved surgery for the port. After I got it, that insurance DENIED coverage for the liquid chemo. This has to change. www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/h...

"I prefer coffee with cream and sugar to black coffee. But there is a level of cream and sugar that is TOO MUCH, and I go back to not liking the taste but now it's also more unhealthy." More isn't always better, and trying to make a good thing perfect might ruin it. #CoffeeLifeLessons

The president of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA called himself a king. The United States violently rebels against kings. Either: The "King" goes away, by whatever means necessary. Or we stop being the United States, regardless of what name we use to refer to the nation that follows. #NoKingsNoTyrants
