Fish Helmets, Lamprey Men, Economics, etc

• Scrap Princess (of this here blog) trawls the web digging up exotica including coconut fibre armor. "The warrior holds a three-pronged weapon (taumangaria) edged with shark's teeth. He may also have worn undergarments, a porcupine fish helmet and ray skin cuirass on top"
• Likewise Scrap tracked down these terrifying pictures of atom bomb tests that look like Gordon Terry paintings
• 
• WOOO, extra dots!
• This 100 Forbidden Castles is pretty good "73 A naive wizard dwells here being seduced to evil by devils, witches and gold
  74 Lamprey men fort with captured villagers feeding on poor victims slowly like cattle"
• Likewise I'll be cutting and pasting the latest batch of Dungeon Dozen tables
• This Gary Chalk interview illustrates how things should work: " They had repeatedly threatened to sue me for plagiarism over the dungeon planner pads and the floorplans, but had never really been able to make it stick. I told them that if they gave me a job, they wouldn’t have to keep trying to sue me and I could even invent products for them. They thought this over and gave a job they called Games Development Manager!"
• Middenmurk heaved itself forward again a few days ago, casually shredding the usually-so-robust boundary between poetry and gaming aid.
• Have liked Sarah Horrocks' art for a while and I like what she has to say about The Counselor too. Not RPGish but lots of blatant thought-provocation about comics, writing, art and much else that is RPG-adjacent.
• When was the last time you heard an RPG podcast that was not annoying? Ta-daa! That's from Shiro of the RPG corner blog.
• And Noisms is doing that thing where he sheds light on how RPGs work using knowledge gleaned from things other than how Buffy and/or other RPGs work 

So there you go.
