  1. A quotation from Euripides

    CHORUS: Great treasure halls hath Zeus in heaven,
       From whence to man strange dooms be given,
          Past hope or fear.
       And the end men looked for cometh not,
       And a path is there where no man thought:
          So hath it fallen here.
       
    [ΚΥΚΛΩΨ: πολλῶν ταμίας Ζεὺς ἐν Ὀλύμπῳ,
       πολλὰ δ᾽ ἀέλπτως κραίνουσι θεοί:
       καὶ τὰ δοκηθέντ᾽ οὐκ ἐτελέσθη,
       τῶν δ᾽ ἀδοκήτων πόρον ηὗρε θεός.
       τοιόνδ᾽ ἀπέβη τόδε πρᾶγμα.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Medea [Μήδεια], l. 1415ff (431 BC) [tr. Murray (1906)]

  3. #Wolfs is one of those #movies which premise seems simple then at the end of it you get a #PlotTwist so good that gives room for a second #movie.

    I completely recommend it! It’s easily a 🔟 of 🔟.

  5. Meet Fat Man and Little Boy.

    You'll meet them at a bad inn or a good road, depending on your
    luck, and they will immediately be too much. Fat Man laughs
    before the joke lands and Little Boy finishes it before Fat Man
    can, and somewhere in the middle of all that noise you'll
    decide they're harmless. Most people do.

    Fat Man is broad and round and warm in the way of a hearth that
    doesn't know it's burning too hot. He gestures when he talks,
    which is always, and he has a laugh that arrives several seconds
    before anything funny happens. Little Boy is long and narrow and
    still, and watches everything with the patient attention of
    someone who has learned that the world reveals itself if you
    wait. They have been together long enough that their sentences
    are a single thing split between two mouths.

    They're carrying something. They don't know what it is -- not
    really. They were paid to move it, told it was fragile, told not
    to open it, and they haven't, because they are, despite
    everything, professionals. It is fragile. It is also the reason
    the next three sessions go the way they do. By the time you
    understand what they had, you will have already decided you
    liked them. That's the point. That was always the point.

    ---

    Fat Man and Little Boy are comic NPCs built for early placement
    and long shadow -- loud enough to dismiss, warm enough to trust,
    and load-bearing in ways the party won't clock until it's loud.
    Fat Man runs high Charisma and low Wisdom, all impulse and
    infectious energy, a natural distraction. Little Boy is his
    complement: high Perception, low everything the party might
    think to check. Together they function as a delivery mechanism
    for a plot device neither of them understands, and as a quiet
    argument that the most dangerous things in a campaign are the
    ones that make you smile first.
