Had an absolute blast playing White Sands #ttrpg with loved ones today! I DMed the first half, and one of my partners volunteered to DM another bit we could seamlessly append to the first one, so that I got to play as well. I decided to make my character a #trans woman very early in her hormonal transition, which felt very intimate to me but was also very fun. She almost died at the end in an epic and glorious scene, but surprisingly survived because of some kindness our group had shown earlier in the adventure.
I'm not sure about the system, it did have a couple of hiccoughs, but overall it was really fun and worked well for a Oneshot. So I'm happy with that, and since I had an absolutely fantastic day with it, glad I bought it!

Another civilian death, another secret test. A #medevac King Air vanished over #NewMexico after the #AirForce jammed #GPS at #WhiteSands – a routine “electronic‑warfare” drill they hide from the public. The crash proves how military tech turns our skies into battlefields, endangering ordinary people while the Pentagoons, backed by foreign, Israeli allies, refuses accountability.

A soaptree yucca's flowers in the interdune zone of White Sands.
Thin clouds softened the lighting and kept the shadows from being too deep and harsh.

The gypsum sand of White Sands can be 'cemented' together when it gets wet from occasional desert rains, but it's really quite soft and lacks any durability.
A branch, waving in the breeze, easily scratches into the White Sands 'cement'. If you thump this stuff with your finger tips, it sounds almost hollow.

Tracks in the gypsum sand of White Sands are easy to see right after sunrise when the sun is low and casts long shadows.
1st: A lizard dragged its tail in the sand as it walked along slowly.
2nd: Black stinkbugs have a wide stance and one track almost looks like two narrow-stance tracks.

Discover Your Own Slice of Paradise at a Hidden Beach
Hideaway BeachWhile wandering through the varied and lush tropical foliage, the air thick with the scent of blooming flowers and the sound of rustling fronds, I marveled at the vibrant greens surrounding me. The sun filtered through the canopy, casting dappled light on the path ahead.
As I ventured further, I stumbled upon a hidden trail – less trodden, yet inviting. Curiosity propelled me forward, and soon, the dense flora opened up to reveal a breathtaking sight: a secret resort beach.
Soft white sands glistened brightly under the sun like diamond dust. Crystal-clear turquoise waters lapped gently at the shore, creating a melody that harmonized with the echoing calls of tropical birds. Palm trees swayed lazily in the breeze, offering shade and a sense of serenity, making it a sanctuary from a busy world.
It wasn’t just a destination; it was a total sensory reset. In that moment, tucked away from the rest of life’s stresses, I hadn’t just found a beach – I’d found a version of paradise that felt like it belonged to those courageous enough to seek it out.
Many times the best travel experiences aren’t the ones we plan months in advance. They are the ones that require us to be a little bit lost, a little bit sweaty, and a whole lot of curious.
Pro Tip: Always take the less traveled path. Usually, it leads to the best memories and maybe even the best views.Words and images by Michael J. Hall

Standing in Cloudcroft, looking down at White Sands National Park. 🌲 It is amazing how you can go from high mountain pines to the desert floor in just a few miles. This view over the Tularosa Basin never gets old. ✨

🇺🇸 ВМС США вновь провели испытательные стрельбы электромагнитной рельсотронной пушки после нескольких лет фактической заморозки программы.
Как сообщается, испытания прототипа прошли в феврале 2025 года на полигоне White Sands в Нью-Мексико в рамках трехдневной серии пусков, организованной подразделениями Центра надводных боевых систем ВМС США.
Работы велись совместно с Управлением перехода гиперзвуковых технологий (Joint Hypersonics Transition Office), которое отвечает за внедрение и развитие перспективных гиперзвуковых систем.
Рельсотрон использует электромагнитное ускорение вместо порохового заряда, разгоняя металлическую болванку до экстремальных скоростей, что потенциально позволяет поражать морские, наземные и даже воздушные цели на большой дальности.
Например, стандартная американская 127-мм артиллерийская установка Mark 45 разгоняет 31-килограммовый снаряд до скорости около 760–830 м/с и имеет дальность стрельбы примерно 24–37 км в зависимости от типа боеприпаса.
Прототип рельсотрона, разработанный для ВМС США, способен разгонять 10–12-килограммовый снаряд до скоростей порядка 2–2,5 км/с (более 6–7 скоростей звука), что теоретически позволяет поражать цели на огромных дистанциях.
При этом интересно, что программа долгое время считалась закрытой: еще в начале 2020-х ВМС США объявили о сворачивании работ после технических проблем — прежде всего огромных требований к энергоснабжению, охлаждению и быстрому износу ствола при стрельбе на высоких скоростях.
Однако интерес к технологии вернулся на фоне планов создания нового класса крупных кораблей, инициированных Трампом, где рельсотрон рассматривается как одно из ключевых вооружений наряду с гиперзвуковыми ракетами, лазерами и традиционными артиллерийскими установками.
На видео можно видеть стрельбу из прототипа рельсотрона на испытательном полигоне в Вирджинии в 2016 году.
