I was at Mehrangarh in January this year, it was fantastic! It's really put together, in fact, with a fancy cafe and a jewelry shop and an excellent audio tour. Historical sites in India can be anywhere on the spectrum from "totally wrecked and full of literal garbage" to "the Taj Mahal" and Mehrangarh is near the top of that list. Here's a bird hanging out in Mehrangarh:  Elsewhere in Rajasthan is the town of Bundi, which is a little bit out of the way. The huge palace of Bundi and its fort are on the other side of the spectrum -- completely wrecked. It's unfortunate from the perspective of historical preservation, but if you get a kick out of exploring ruins, it's incredible.       I spent several afternoons exploring the place, it was awesome. The whole complex of ruined buildings ranges for several kilometers up and along a ridge by the city, and there's only two or three security guards that tell you to stop climbing on poo poo. They don't really leave the one or two restored areas, though, so you can get into all kinds of places. Hundreds of monkeys have infested the place, enough for some small wildcats to move in. Zillions of bats live in the place, too. Bonus:  Historical evidence of chocobos, or adorable depiction of the goddess Saraswati? You decide.

Yeah, there was some kind of bill passed that allows people to put religious (read: Christian) stuff anywhere. So the Satanism stuff is an attempt at trolling the state of Oklahoma

The children of Oklahoma could really use the healing wisdom of Baphomet though, so there's that.

So the local Church of Satan decided they'd "donate" a statue of Baphomet to go right next to it. The funniest part of the whole thing is that that's not the statue they're going to be putting up; that's going to be the prototype for the mold they're going to use to make a brass version of it. And they're taking out an insurance policy on it so that if somebody vandalizes it, they'll be able to replace it with two more.

I'd known about this, but it was the insurance policy part that really made me laugh: in my head I saw a bronze statue of Baphomet perpetually undergoing mitosis. I'm glad they removed the caduceus though, it made it look kind of busy. I like the more alien-looking head too! EDIT: the original, for reference:

Haha, if only he were wearing a fedora. "In this moment I am euphoric, not because of the blessing of some phony god, but because I am enlightened by my own intellect. And also Baphomet, I guess."

How dare you even suggest that the noble government of my home state is in league with the devil. Just because the elected officials don't think Oklahomans deserve healthcare, or an education, or a minimum wage increase, birth control, roads that are maintained, water that isn't tainted by fracking runoff, bridges that aren't literally falling into the rivers they cross, or policy changes that 70% of people polled support does not mean that they don't firmly believe in the christian values of charity and love for everyone when they're behind a podium. Torturing someone to death was also completely accidental and should in no way be construed as some sort of "ritual sacrifice," no matter what you heard from the talking blue fire.

 Can't remember which goon this is, but the idea was that whenever they ordered something, they'd request a picture of "A Kickin' Rad Baphomet" in the extra requests section that nobody ever really uses. This was the best result. Also, they shouldn't replace the Baphomet statue with two Baphomets--it needs to be a Baphomet and a new demon, say Buer. Given enough time we can get the entire Key of Solomon out there. The Lord of Hats fucked around with this message at 08:35 on May 2, 2014 |

Stolas is cool and all but I've always been partial to Amdusias and Caim/Camio: Amdusias is associated with thunder and it has been said that his voice is heard during storms. He is accompanied by the sound of trumpets when he comes and will give concerts if commanded, but while all his musical instruments can be heard they cannot be seen. He is regarded as being the demon in charge of the cacophonous music that is played in Hell. He can make trees bend at will.  Camio is a good disputer, gives men the understanding of the voices of birds, bullocks, dogs, and other creatures, and of the noise of the waters too, and gives true answers concerning things to come.

I was always partial to Buer myself His title is literally "President of Hell" and quote:He teaches Natural and Moral Philosophy, Logic, and the virtues of all herbs and plants, and is also capable of healing all infirmities (especially of men) and bestows good familiars. A vote for Buer is a vote for universal healthcare

 How does he walk? Does he roll along the ground like a wheel? I'm looking for modern-style reference images of well-dressed gentlemen wielding their walking sticks like clubs, like the way they're depicted in old 19th century woodcuts showing fights breaking out in Parliament and whatnot.

The gent in these photos was the cane teacher at the Bartitsu School of Arms and Physical Culture in Chicago last year.

The whole book was really really good (except for truenamers, no one wants to be a truenamer)

Yeah, your attack bonus increasing linearly while their defense increases exponentially was not good. EVERYONE'S defenses getting harder to hit the more often you used an attack was worse. Especially since they balanced around you always having the best magic items available and abusing the skill feats and synergy.
