Donaar has Acid Breath that lets him gain Clank! in exchange for Swords.K’thriss has Telepathy, ignoring one footstep or monster icon along a path for the turn. Second is, of course, that each character comes with three completely unique cards. Well, first, while you wouldn’t want to mix-and-match these starter decks with basic Clank! starter decks, you can play them alongside the Upper Management Pack, which is a pretty sweet increase of options at this higher ‘power level’ of play. Legacy version, a group of four unique starter decks that replace the base decks for either game, not recommended for your first time out with Clank! Legacy, a slight issue with diluting the new decks’ uniqueness as gameplay goes on, and absolutely stellar production values from the art to the character boards to the miniatures. “C” Team Packįrom Renegade Game Studios, Dire Wolf Digital, and of course Penny Arcade this “C” Team Pack for the popular Clank! series of board games has a lot of similarities to the Upper Management Pack I reviewed after PAX East: compatible with both basic Clank! or the Acq. chapter, for lack of a better word, you could do so much worse than swinging by and seeing what there is to play. If you’re going to Unplugged or East next year, or any of the other cons that have a Games on Demand. The Unplugged GoD Discord channel hummed all weekend with activity to wrangle supplies, substitution games to cover GMs who had something come up, extra games to fill more tables or more slots so players could have a home, and more. I have no way of really knowing how many games were added, how many pickup games occurred, or which games from the GoD library were rented out and played independent of a GoD GM.īrian, Natalya, and the other organizers/hosts put forth an amazing effort to get more than 40 GMs rallied together with all of those games and game hours in the first place, but what even GoD players might not realize is the amount of during-the-con behind-the-scenes effort that gets put out. Hogwarts: An RPG, Pax Cthuliana, Goblinville, Fiasco, MONZ, Dinosaur Princesses, Dialect, Mothership, Monsterhearts 2, Princess World, Swords of the Serpentine, Never Tell Me the Odds, Masks of the Mummy Kings, Aeronauts, Nobilis, Hearts Blazing, The Watch, Fall of Magic, The Skeletons, Thousand Arrows, BLOCKBUSTER!, Misspent Youth, Blades in the Dark, Long Time Listener Last Time Caller, Ill Met By Moonlight, Teens with Attitude, Index Card RPG, Swords Without Master, Girl Underground, The Ward, Scum and Villainy, Monster of the Week, Apocalypse World 2e, Trapped, Trophy, Lady Blackbird, Rest in Pieces, Commandroids: A World Transformed, and Inspectres were all on the docket, and that’s just what was on the pre-con list. Lead and Gold, What’s OLD is NEW, Bulldogs!, Alter Arms, Dusk City Outlaws, Dungeon World, Women are Werewolves, Nations & Cannons, The Final Girl, Heavy Metal Thunder Mouse, For The Queen, Dungeon Tours Ltd. All players had to do was show up and pick a game. Numbers got a little fuzzy over the course of the weekend, but before the doors opened, I can tell you that GoD were offering a total of 408 hours of tabletop roleplaying gaming – all of it small press at the largest and much of it pure indie and often run by a designer, providing everything that prospective players needed to enjoy a two or four hour long gaming session. Then again, I think everyone should be biased in favor of Games on Demand, which is a volunteer outfit that exists simply to provide opportunities for attendees to play more RPGs. So here’s my PAX Unplugged Roundup of some of the things worth checking out, whether they’re things to look for next con or something worth chasing right now!įull disclosure, I was running Transit for a trio of sessions with Game on Demand this year at Unplugged, so I’m definitely biased in favor of this particular facet of the convention. a lot to write about, and more than a few review copies, but there are plenty of things that would get missed by doing things one article at a time. There was a lot to do and see, however: board games, events, roleplaying games, accessories, actual play opportunities! I came home with. Aki might have had the brainpower to check in every day of PAX Unplugged, but I.

I always love a good challenge, so right after my positive endoscopy I got straight to work in the kitchen, developing gluten free versions of all my old favorite recipes. Welcome! I'm Alison-recipe developer, mom to three great kids, and a celiac. Strain into the glasses and serve immediately.Place the tangerine juice, vodka and Cointreau into a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 30 seconds.Rub the rim of 2 martini glasses with a cut lemon and dip into a plate that’s been lightly coated with sugar.2 ounces each freshly squeezed tangerine juice, Absolut Mandarin Vodka, Cointreau.A friend stopped by, we made another round and sipped them well into the warm winter evening, windows open, our laughter and conversation spilling out into garden where those confused daffodils had already folded up their petticoats and gone to sleep. (But I can never leave anything alone.) So I added a little citrus vodka, and some Cointreau to in this fun and fresh tangerine martini cocktail recipe. And in order to make room for the new crop of fruits that would be coming in my box, I squeezed a whole pile of tangerines, filling a quart-size mason jar to the top with brightly colored juice. I’ve made lemon curd, lemonade, and candied orange slices. Here winter means citrus and my CSA box has been overflowing with all sorts of wonderful things from tangerines, to lemons, to oranges (blood and navel), and grapefruits. A Fresh Idea for California Citrus – How to Make a Tangerine Martini Cocktail Recipeīut back to winter. She’s back in school this week, and I’m doing a little dance, remembering what it’s like to have my days to myself again. She’s a good patient, but boy it’s hard to hear MOM! called across the house for the umpteenth time. I spent all of January, and most of this month caring for my daughter who broke her leg on December 28th when she was thrown from a horse. But here in Southern California we’ve had day upon day of gorgeous, sunny weather and lunches eaten outdoors in sundresses and flip flops. I realize that in winter many suffer a bit through the cold, through the snow and rain, through the relentless gray skies and shorter days. Recipe card, images and directions updated on January 9, 2022. Serve it straight up in a martini glass, or over ice with a splash of soda. Or swap for whatever orange citrus you have on hand. Thought it’s best with freshly squeezed tangerine juice, bottled will work in a pinch. This gorgeous tangerine martini cocktail recipe packs a bright citrus punch. She says she's failing her university course and won't pass unless she "does something drastic" on her midterm. There's some added dialogue between Katie and Micah where they discuss how the stress is negatively affecting their lives. The knocking is much faster and louder in the Theatrical Cut. The night when the demon plays the door games with Katie and Micah (opening and slamming it shut, knocking furiously) has been re-dubbed, as well. There seem to be at least two added "shadow" effects - another on the bedroom door, and a silhouette in the hallway - in the Director's Cut, whereas the Theatrical Cut only has one shadow used. All of these scenes are much, much louder/noticeable in theaters for jump scares. A lot of the demon noises - the loud growl followed by the bang, the footsteps, even the shadows that appear on the bedroom doors - were completely re-dubbed and retouched. There is only one instance of the demon whispering in the Theatrical Cut there are at least three in the Director's Cut, all of which are heard in the bedroom at night. The low frequency tone that occurs when the demon is present is not quite as loud in the Director's cut. There is a scene in the Theatrical Cut not present in the Director's Cut that takes place early on, where Katie and Micah wake up and find her keys thrown from the kitchen counter to the floor. The Director's Cut, comprised of the unedited film with three possible endings, has several differences: The version that was released in theaters is the cut supervised by Steven Spielberg. It's nice seeing double Diamond Boxes again, and then Diamond Elsa along with one of the Stitch Variants are good emojis to win, shame that the requirements are the way they are. That being said, on paper the rewards are really good. Yes Young Anna and Pink Dress Cinderella are decent story emojis, but at a 1/10 chance each, idk there. As for the Diamond Box, that's a LOT of gold. If I get one Charlotte, I can use a Gold Charge from a Quest Pack, but I'm not in too much of a rush because while I enjoy the characters, they're golds. I have Rainbow Stitch and Almost There Tiana at the proper levels, but I'm stuck on Maps 4 and 5. Needing both of the new emojis to play through the event is just the standard at this point unfortunately. It's a shame about the requirements though. Just Like Sisters: Nani and Charlotte are two great additions that should've been added a while ago. yes, this is similar to a Challenge event in February 2023Īlright, so let's cover what we got so far, shall we?.Not a Food Fight! This is a Challenge Event centered around Food.Item card requirements are the same for everyone, including the replay multipliers (an increased requirements factor relative to the requirements on the first cycle of the cards). □□□ □□ Ratatouille Item Card Event Token Quest Exclusive Emojis: Platinum Baymax. ⚖️ Trials & Triumphs September Token Quest yes, deja vu with a Challenge event in January 2023. and Jam City has NEVER had an event gap of more than 3 days. 1-2, 2020).the last time a 3-day gap occurred was Dec. The last time we had a gap of events that was even 2 days long was over 2 years ago (Nov."Stormcrow" was the name used when filming the Ahsoka series to protect/keep secret filming. The image files are littered with new Star Wars keyboard items and the inactive part of the config has placeholder information for a "Stormcrow" item card event. Updated further review - pretty clear an Ahsoka Star Wars event will fill the gap.Pending further review, my initial guess is this will be a Star Wars event So, the Ahsoka series premiere is around this date and it has been a long time since we haven't had Star Wars emojis/events in the latter part of August.Expect a long event, and high numbers/requirements But it does appear that there will be 6 cards and the traditional 2 replays.
Better yet, just get rid of them altogether. Of course they’re really undercover agents.īefore we hit the motorcycle chases and awkward backyard barbecues, there’s hope that Galifianakis and Fisher, who can both cut loose with magnificent klutziness (not here), will turn out to be the secretly capable ones. He’s a fascinating travel writer who speaks Chinese she runs a cooking website and saves orphans. From afar, they seem like a commercial for sex, success and regular visits to the dentist in person, it’s even worse. Stuck-in-a-rut marrieds Jeff (Zach Galifianakis) and Karen (Isla Fisher) can’t help but ogle their newly arrived cul-de-sac neighbors, Tim (Jon Hamm) and Natalie (Wonder Woman Gal Gadot). lifespan today is 79 years old), we will get the equivalent of 1% of recorded history.Structured with the kind of obviousness that makes you first outwit the screenwriter and then hate movies in general, Greg Mottola’s painfully generic suburban spy comedy wastes everybody’s time, onscreen and off. If we are lucky enough to live two decades shorter than Arthur (the average U.S. Save your money for financial independence and “buy” more of your time at a younger age. Money may not be equal, but we all get 24 hours per day. Even the 100+ year old Ikarians in the Blue Zones would applaud that long life. He lived to be 101 years old - 17-45 years longer than all the Joneses mentioned above. While he may not have been rich in money, he was rich in time. It’s possible that Arthur “Pop” Momand was aware of the Wilmington Jones family because they were firmly established by the time he started his comic strip.Īrthur “Pop” Momand got the last laugh with his satirical comics. The house was so big…that there’s not a picture that we’ve found that has the entire house in the same frame. They were among “the richest of the rich” - more than 1,000 wedding guests when they married in 1884, owners of “the second grandest house in North Carolina” and multiple other properties, and throwers of extravagant parties with an entertainment line in their annual budget equivalent to $7M in today’s money. Even Wikipedia claims this story as the origin.ĥ) The Wilmington family of Pembroke and Sarah Jones: This article says all of the other stories above are based on this family. The comic features the McGinnis family who references the Jones family. His comic strip and the expression were used sometime between 1913-1916 ( source). And so will your house, your car, and all your stuff.Ĥ) Comic strip by Arthur “Pop” Momand: This story says the popular phrase was coined by American cartoonist Arthur “Pop” Momand in his comic strip called (you guessed it) “Keeping up with the Joneses.” In a coincidental connection to the mansion story above, apparently Momand got the idea when he moved from New York City to a suburb of New York. If this isn’t a beautiful example of impermanence, I don’t know what is. What was once a top-of-the-line mansion on 80 acres is now falling apart on 2.5 acres (this post has a bunch of pictures). The 7,690-square-foot home, called Wyndclyffe Castle, was so elegant and over the top it prompted neighbors to build even bigger houses in an effort to ‘keep up with the Joneses.’ Apparently it’s the prettiest street in Savannah.ģ) The Mansion owned by Elizabeth Jones: One source says the phrase was inspired by a mansion that was built in the 1850s in New York as a “summer getaway for New York City socialite Elizabeth Schermerhorn Jones.” No one seems to agree on which one of these stories is true, but they are all entertaining and interesting:ġ) It’s just an old English saying: Enough said.Ģ) Jones Street in Savannah, GA: Not the most common origin story, but it’s worth mentioning. No matter which origin story you want to believe, we’ve been using the phrase for over a century.ĥ Origin Stories of “Keeping up with the Joneses” This little research project turned out to be much more fascinating than I expected going into it. But, does anyone know why we say it, or where it came from? The tourist in the story of the tourist and the fisherman. “Keeping up with the Joneses.” The epitome of lifestyle inflation.

Some 14th century brides carry a set of purses (see Michael Camille’s The Medieval Art of Love for further discussion on this practice). Most of the examples below cover the later Middle Ages and the Renaissance colors and styles generally cover the same array of what was fashionable at the time (or, in the case of the 16th century “peasant weddings,” of what was worn by women of that social status). In truth – there seems to be no overwhelming trends, in terms of color or style. Take, for example, the color of a wedding dress - should it be green? blue? white? And must it be a cotehardie? Plenty of webpages will cheerfully tell readers all about medieval wedding dresses, or wedding dresses of the Renaissance - usually, they're generalizations based on little or no factual information.
