Conclusion: the Indonesian Double-word Animal names originate in the A-L linguistic subgroup.
But If we remove Crow, Blowfly, and Sparrow for their distorted double word names the dev. Chain trend is identified A-L/B (A-L/A-B which is a convergance of ancestors of Samoan and Ewe, or could even the more obscure possibility of L-A/A-B followed by A/T development which is related to Rapa Nui Males and to split).

Board with Games: An Idea for a DungeonCrawl

 

A Dungeon crawl in the sewers under Tokyo. Most of the cards will be map sections so it builds into an extensive sewer network, but the monster cards will continuously go back to the deck until the pegs indicating the remaining school students in the group are depleated or they find the ladder to the surface. Its going to be kind of like Age of Warp without the starmap.

This one will be in Japanese... as long as Google Translate does a good job.

Mystaran Campaign: A plant of Davinia

 

Hnnt: a strange seed cluster imported from the far off coastal tropics of Davinia. This tree grows on river banks, around subsidence ponds, and swamps linked by surface and subterranean fresh water rivers.

The seeds can be boiled into a wash to cure scabies (a kind of leprosy) though the roots of the tree are idealy used for this. The Uatt began growing this plant ornamentally from imported seeds to treat a Leprosy plague.

Google Archaeology: A square mound and rice paddies

 

Pretty much covered in forest, but on the 'terrain map we see 200m×800m earthworks as though someone had dug out the earth here. Those are likely rice paddies. So a possible castle site overlooking half a square kilometre of rice paddies. Some obscure, landed lord extracting 33 bushels of rice per acre. 1/2 square mile is 320 acres. So potentially ten thousand five hundred and sixty bushels of rice. At 50lb grain per bushel, 528,000lb rice.

At 330lb per koku, thats 1,600 koku. A feudal lord was only considered daimyō class when his domain amounted to at least 10,000 koku so our estate here is not that of a feudal lord unless there are rice paddies in the surrounding valleys. But his output could support 1600 people... up until someone sends soldiers to burn the castle, and take the rice.

Conclusion: Originating in the E linguistic group... they peak culturally at 18%, with the low point in the middle and again a cultural peak at 9%. That is similar to the Etruscan peak-dip-peak. Wat is not the earliest of the gods despite being the Pantheon Chief of all the Tribes.

Linguistic Archaeology: Cave Paintings & AstroPhysics

 

What are the odds the people who went and cowered in caves to survive were drawing the solution to how black holes work having reached a peak and fucked up big time? 

Toss some space time in a black hole and you get gravity waves, but the exit from that singularity is in the bottom of a gravity Well defined in dimensions x^n, y^n, and z^n as opposed to x, y, and z.

And what is in this universal bubble, is also in the other direction...

Its not as if we will need to shelter in another cave as a consequence of playing with black holes when we can work out how to retract higher dimensional information into the singularity and retract gravity waves into it.

Conclusion: Originating in the A-N-S subgroup;

A-N-S subgroup                    %             dev. Chain
Japanese honorifics           85%         (A; N; S; K, I)
Snake                                    69%          (A; N; S; E; R)
Sun                                        53%          (A; N; S; E; O; U)

The earliest partial snake is at 37% with N* (hebrew). The earliest Snake is Sa (bambara) at 26% along with the partials S* (dogri) and S* (sanskrit). There is an apparent bandgap at 25% with another partial snake at 24% with *AR (sorani kurdish) and again a bandgap from 22%-20% before the snake returns at 19%. Interest in snakes peaking at 16% before declining down to 1%.

There seems to be a deep relationship between the Snake and the Sun (A-N-S-E). There might even be myths equating to that relationship.

They begin around 40% with a cultural peak. Here is a Big Mountain, Big Snow Snake (avalanche?), Maple Trees, Deer. That sounds like Canada. But there is Ho-sa-gowwa (handsome boy) who sounds vaguely japanese. And Hiawatha (one who makes rivers) sounds like irrigation farming. So maybe an ancient japanese colony/explorers in Canada?

At 30% it culturally drops. And they migrate to the place where two rivers flow into each other.

At 25% we have the second cultural peak with a Moving Sun (?), Shaking Snow (earthquake?), and a town (large urban centre) destroyed. Are we looking at an asteroid/comet hit wiping out a population?

At 10% we have the first sign of a Chief of everyone. And then there is this guy: Shikellamy (He who causes it to be light,  Enlightener). We have the L linguistic group showing up out of nowhere with Light (*LA*) is a marker for the L-A-I subgroup just like the time they migrated into the Sumerian culture.

5% here we have Racoon and boiling pot. It must have been a bad day for you to boil up racoon.

 Hydra Rising - 2022 Short Fiction

I think that will give you something to read in an emergency.

Public Domain: Airman Andor v. Andor and Rogue One

Looks like Disney is plundering public domain comics for Star Wars characters and story material.

Airman Andor

Airman Andor is a policeman assigned as a "traffic cop in space". His spacecraft is designated as Patrol Craft Double-Z. Infatuated with detective fiction of the 20th century, he dreams of one day leaving the force. He goes on a disturbance report in Number 10, Vector 2 living quarters. Inside, he finds an aged man and a young blonde woman named Kyt. The oldster tells Andor that Kyt is his maid, and he caught her looking for his treasure map.

Kyt tells Andor the old man beats her and is not long for life, saying she deserves the treasure. As Andor is talking to Kyt, the old man whips her with an "electric whip". Andor shoots and kills the man, citing a charge of resisting arrest.

Kyt is shocked at the shooting. Andor lives out the "old private-eye yarns" and kisses her. He says he wouldn't want to see her live in prison, preferring to take her and find the treasure. The passion between the two turns to love. Andor submits his resignation, citing the man's resisting arrest. His resignation is accepted.

Kyt and Andor travel in a space rocket to where the treasure map leads; the asteroid Klaxon. On the journey, Kyt writes in her diary, refusing to let Andor see her private thoughts. Landing on the asteroid, the pair find two crystal pillars mentioned on the map. Andor uses his knife to open a bottle of celebratory burgundy. Kissing Kyt after drinking the burgundy, Andor kills her with his knife. His head begins to swim, owing to effects of Kyt's lipstick. He realizes Kyt poisoned him with her lipstick. He knocks her diary off the table. Written in it is her plans to use his affections to retrieve the treasure and the fact that she never was in love with him.

StarWars Andor is a guy who infiltrates the Empire, and becomes a Traffic Cop in Space... I'm assuming there is going to be a girl who manipulates him for her own ends as she convinces him to Abandon his life in the Empire, convincing him to kill some Official, and run off in search of some secret treasure (Kyber crystals maybe?) only for him to kill her before she kills him...

Basic Expert: Bottom of the Well

 

Background
While the Adventurers are enjoying the Tavern, an odd rumbling sound is heard, and after a few moments a sink hole opens beneath the Tavern dropping the building and its occupants down an shaft.

Dice Check: Dwarves can recognize the noise as a cave subsidence on a wisdom check.

PCs will find themselves down the bottom of the shaft in a deep pool of water, in a cave (Area 1).

Any Dwarf recognizing the sound has enough time to grab hold of their backpack of equipment.

A side profile dungeon map. Area 10 is the rubble of the tavern blocking the shaft, onto which rock collapses sealing them in. Any equipment not in posession of a dwarf is tangled in the rubble here.

Some supplies fall to Area 1:

• Wineskin, full
• 50' rope
• Small Hammer
• Lantern, half full
• Silver Dagger
• Potion of Healing
• Tinderbox
• 10' pole
• Pouch (empty)
• (4) iron spikes
• A Wooden chair

World Building: Dyson Spheres, their construction, and Relics

 In Relics (an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation) they encounter a Dyson sphere. It raised a few questions...

Question: What would illuminate a dyson sphere at high noon on all surface area?

Answer: The central star. This would involve something like thermal energy transfering to the outer surface by metals or alloys or ceramics that alter the frequency of the light. Platinum absorbs UV and gives off visible light. This process might be usable through similar process to convert infrared energy into visible light emission.

Question: Where to get its construction material?

Answer: The Star. It gives off protons. A machine swarm capable of weaving a lattice from threads of Protons would over time build up a structure that has an earth gravity, and is a few metres thick, because its a woven proton cloth, light can pass through it (introducing another answer to how is it illuminated). Eventually the builders might show up to take up residence when the star is sufficiently depleted of mass and brightness.

Question: How does it survive solar radiation inequality?

Answer: The swarm actively targets solar flare material ejected from the sun as an opportunity to collect building material. The nanomachine swarm likely functions in close proximity to the star until its proton fiber is fully spooled, and weaves a web section of cloth to sail back to the shell to connect its patch to the patchwork quilt. This offers a different alternative to building material efficiency and use. The swarm itself was built using the planetary material of the solar system, but the swarm uses the protons of the star to weave the dyson sphere material.

Is that sufficient?

Mystaran Campaign: Impact Craters and Impact Caverns

 

It's because the impact of the meteor in southern Glantri that we now need to consider the prospect of a deep cavern having formed far below the great crater. For now it will be uninhabitable, but the idea that far in Mystara's future that cavern will become home to life different to life on the surface means that Adventure is to be had.

Likewise, there should be a cavern below Meteor Crater in Arizona. And if it is found to contain an ecosystem, that opens the possibility for life or even water to be found deep beneath craters on the Moon and even Mars.
