To anyone who noticed I have posted virtually nothing in a long time:

Hey!

I started college and have NO time for things anymore. So this blog will not really be used for anything anymore. IF you are still interested in following me and my life, I use Twitter and my Blogger both regularly for school. https://twitter.com/ThatVorpalEdge

You can follow me on these if you like, if not, it was nice knowing you!

Today is Copernicus’s 541th birthday. You may remember Copernicus as the man who said “Hey, what if the Earth went around the sun?” To which the Catholic Church replied “Hey, what if we set you on fire?” 

This is the problem I run into most consistently with Tumblr's culture; the recycling and furtherance of "pop" history. 

All sorts of claims that are nice and sensational, but not from people who actually know all the facts. 

I googled "Copernicus and the church" and the very first link has researched information on why this claim is factually incorrect.

Is there anything a natural 20 can’t do?

This is a poster idea I developed to show off the amazingness of tabletop rpgs.

"You attempt to pickpocket the man, but accidentally pull down his pants instead."

"You reach out to push the orc off the bridge, but instead lightly caress his back. He is uncomfortable."

"You try to stab the guard, but you stab your crotch instead. Roll fortitude."

"You say your name is Bob and not Jim. Your lie is misinterpreted and they now believe you are a serial killer."

"You swing your axe, but it slips from your fingers and sails across the room."

"In an attempt to dodge the incoming arrows, you jump into the swarm.”

"You bull rush the enemy but miss and jump off of the cliff."

"You try to land on your feet but you land on your sword instead."

"While providing first aid, your hand slips and you stab him in the heart. He dies instantly."

I don't know if there is anything more valuable to me than when someone tells me that something I did or said totally innocuously made an impact on them. I talk a lot and don't really experience empathy all that naturally, so when someone tells me this, it really warms my heart
